Generative AI API
TIR's Generative AI (GenAI) API offers a suite of ready-to-use inference endpoints, enabling seamless interaction with advanced models for text-to-text, speech-to-text, embeddings, and text-to-speech tasks. These APIs provide developers with the tools to easily integrate generative AI capabilities into their applications.
Key Features
- Cost Effectiveness: You're only charged for the requests you make, allowing you to control expenses while scaling according to your needs.
- Ready to Use: GenAI APIs are always available and can be accessed anytime, providing instant integration into your applications with no commitments or long-term contracts. Use them as needed without worrying about setup or lock-in periods.
- Playground: Test and explore model capabilities directly on TIR's UI in the Playground section after selecting the model.
Billing parameters may vary based on the model you use. For more information on pricing, select the model you are interested in and refer to the usage section.

How to Integrate GenAI API with Your Application?
Integration methods vary depending on the model you use. Detailed steps for each model can be found in the Playground or API section.
Available Integration Options:
- REST API: This method is compatible with all models. Use the REST API endpoints for straightforward integration.
- OpenAI SDK: All LLMs (text generation) models such as Llama and Mistral on TIR GenAI are OpenAI compatible. You can integrate by updating the
OPENAI_BASE_URL
andOPENAI_API_KEY
in your application if it uses the OpenAI SDK. Start with sample code provided on TIR's UI. - TIR SDK: This is a dedicated SDK for launching and managing services on E2E network's TIR platform.
We will go through all the integration options in this document. To access the model, you need to create a token.
Generating Token To Access GenAI Models
-
Navigate to the API Token section on TIR's UI using the side navbar.
-
Create a new token.
-
Copy the Auth Token and API Key.
OPENAI_API_KEY
for the OpenAI compatible model is the Auth Token copied in the previous step.
Accessing GenAI using REST API
For this example, we will use the Llama 4 Scout 17B 16E Instruct model. Mistral is a text generation large language model.
-
Select the Llama 4 Scout 17B 16E Instruct card in the GenAI section.
-
Click on Get Code and open the HTTP tab to find the cURL request for the model.
-
Copy the cURL request into any API testing tool. For this tutorial, we'll use Postman. Before making the request, add the Auth token (generated in the
Generating Token to Access GenAI Models
section) to the Authorization Header.
For all API requests, the Auth token is of type Bearer.
-
After adding the token, modify the payload based on your requirements and send the request. You can also generate sample code for various languages in Postman's Code section.
Accessing GenAI using OpenAI SDK
For this example, we will use the DeepSeek V3 model. Llama is a text generation large language model.
-
Select the DeepSeek V3 card in the GenAI section and go to Get Code tab.
-
For this tutorial, we'll write the script in Python. Open the Python tab and copy the sample Python code.
-
Install the OpenAI package using pip.
pip install -U openai
Accessing GenAI using TIR SDK
Step 1: Generate Token
Paste the sample code in a Python file and change the value of the api_key parameter passed in the OpenAI client with the Auth Token generated in the Generating Token to Access GenAI Models
section.
Step 2: Run the Python Script
Run the Python script, and the response will be printed.
Using Whisper Large V3 Model
For this example, we will use the Whisper Large V3 model. Whisper is a speech-to-text model that can be used for tasks like transcription and translation.
Step 1: Select Whisper Large V3
Select the Whisper Large V3 card in the GenAI section.
Step 2: Copy Sample Code
TIR SDK is written in Python. Head to the API tab to copy the sample code. Add the path of the audio file in the input field of the data dictionary and tweak other parameters.
Step 3: Set Environment Variables
Before running the script, export the environment in the terminal. Replace env values for E2E_TIR_ACCESS_TOKEN
and E2E_TIR_API_KEY
with the token generated in the Generating Token to Access GenAI Models
section.
Step 4: Run the Script
Run the script, and the response will be printed.
How to Check Usage & Pricing of GenAI API?
Step 1: Select any Gen AI Model
For example, select the Whisper Large V3 model card in the GenAI section.
Step 2: Check Usage or Pricing
Open the Usage tab or click on Check Pricing.
