| 1 | +# Llama API |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +[Llama API](https://llama.developer.meta.com/) is a Meta-hosted API service that helps you integrate Llama models into your applications quickly and efficiently. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Llama API provides access to Llama models through a simple API interface, with inference provided by Meta, so you can focus on building AI-powered solutions without managing your own inference infrastructure. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +With Llama API, you get access to state-of-the-art AI capabilities through a developer-friendly interface designed for simplicity and performance. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Installation |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Llama API is configured as an optional dependency in Strands Agents. To install, run: |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +```bash |
| 14 | +pip install strands-agents[llamaapi] |
| 15 | +``` |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Usage |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +After installing `llamaapi`, you can import and initialize Strands Agents' Llama API provider as follows: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +```python |
| 22 | +from strands import Agent |
| 23 | +from strands.models.llamaapi import LlamaAPIModel |
| 24 | +from strands_tools import calculator |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +model = LlamaAPIModel( |
| 27 | + client_args={ |
| 28 | + "api_key": "<KEY>", |
| 29 | + }, |
| 30 | + # **model_config |
| 31 | + model_id="Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct-FP8", |
| 32 | +) |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +agent = Agent(model=model, tools=[calculator]) |
| 35 | +response = agent("What is 2+2") |
| 36 | +print(response) |
| 37 | +``` |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## Configuration |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +### Client Configuration |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +The `client_args` configure the underlying LlamaAPI client. For a complete list of available arguments, please refer to the LlamaAPI [docs](https://llama.developer.meta.com/docs/). |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +### Model Configuration |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +The `model_config` configures the underlying model selected for inference. The supported configurations are: |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +| Parameter | Description | Example | Options | |
| 51 | +|------------|-------------|---------|---------| |
| 52 | +| `model_id` | ID of a model to use | `Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct-FP8` | [reference](https://llama.developer.meta.com/docs/) |
| 53 | +| `repetition_penalty` | Controls the likelyhood and generating repetitive responses. (minimum: 1, maximum: 2, default: 1) | `1` | [reference](https://llama.developer.meta.com/docs/api/chat) |
| 54 | +| `temperature` | Controls randomness of the response by setting a temperature. | `0.7` | [reference](https://llama.developer.meta.com/docs/api/chat) |
| 55 | +| `top_p` | Controls diversity of the response by setting a probability threshold when choosing the next token. | `0.9` | [reference](https://llama.developer.meta.com/docs/api/chat) |
| 56 | +| `max_completion_tokens` | The maximum number of tokens to generate. | `4096` | [reference](https://llama.developer.meta.com/docs/api/chat) |
| 57 | +| `top_k` | Only sample from the top K options for each subsequent token. | `10` | [reference](https://llama.developer.meta.com/docs/api/chat) |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +### Module Not Found |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +If you encounter the error `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'llamaapi'`, this means you haven't installed the `llamaapi` dependency in your environment. To fix, run `pip install strands-agents[llamaapi]`. |
