API V2
This document contains SambaStudio API version 2 (V2) reference information. It describes input and output formats for the new predict V2 API.
Generic API language models
This section describes how to create a model response for a given chat conversation, or a text prompt, using the Generic V2 API.

Generic API request header
Header | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
|
Array |
When dynamic batching is disabled, the batch of requests sent is processed directly, as opposed to grouping individual requests into batches. We recommend disabling dynamic batching only if you have implemented your own queuing or batching mechanisms. Otherwise, keeping dynamic batching enabled helps optimize performance by grouping smaller requests for more efficient processing |
Generic API request body
Attributes | Type | Description |

Each
object
in this array will have following format.-
id
: Indicates which item this answer will correspond to. -
value
: Contains the response details.-
is_last_response
: This will be false for all the responses for a batch item, except the last stream response. -
stream_token
: The actual response token for the prompt.

Non-stream response
The non-stream response format for the Generic V2 API is described below.
-
items: Will contain responses to all the items that were sent with the input request.
-
Each item response will contain following fields.
-
id
: Indicates which input request item this output will correspond to. -
value
: Actual prediction generated by the model for the given prompt.

"value": "Here are 10 things not to do when you're feeling cold:\n\n1. **Don't stay in wet clothes**: Wet clothes can make you lose heat quickly, making you feel even colder. Change into dry, warm clothes as soon as possible.\n2. **Avoid drinking cold beverages**: Drinking cold drinks can lower your body temperature further, making you feel colder. Opt for warm beverages like tea, coffee, or hot chocolate instead.\n3. **Don't take a cold shower**: Taking a cold shower can cause your body to lose heat rapidly, making you feel colder. Take a warm or hot shower instead to help raise your body temperature.\n4. **Don't go outside without dressing warmly**: If you need to go outside, make sure to dress warmly in layers, including a hat, gloves, and scarf. This will help prevent heat loss.\n5. **Don't ignore hypothermia symptoms**: If you're experiencing symptoms like shivering, confusion, or dizziness, seek medical attention immediately. Hypothermia can be life-threatening if left untreated.\n6. **Don't rely on caffeine or nicotine**: While caffeine and nicotine may provide a temporary energy boost, they can also cause blood vessels to constrict, making you feel colder.\n7. **Don't skip meals**: Eating regular meals can help keep your body warm by providing energy. Opt for warm, hearty meals like soup or stew.\n8. **Don't use electric blankets or heating pads on high**: While electric blankets and heating pads can provide warmth, using them on high settings can cause burns or fires. Use them on low settings and follow the manufacturer's instructions.\n9. **Don't neglect to maintain your heating system**: Make sure your heating system is in good working condition to prevent breakdowns and keep your home warm.\n10. **Don't underestimate the power of physical activity**: Engage in light physical activity like stretching, jumping jacks, or yoga to get your blood flowing and warm yourself up. However, avoid strenuous exercise that can cause you to sweat and lose heat.\n\nRemember to always prioritize your safety and health when feeling cold. If you're experiencing persistent or severe cold symptoms, seek medical attention if necessary."
