## Portkey SDK Integration with Featherless AI Models

Portkey provides a consistent API to interact with models from various providers. To integrate Featherless AI with Portkey:

### 1. Install the Portkey SDK

Add the Portkey SDK to your application to interact with Featherless AI's API through Portkey's gateway.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```sh theme={null}
    npm install --save portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```sh theme={null}
    pip install portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Initialize Portkey with the Virtual Key

To use Featherless AI with Portkey, [get your API key from here](https://featherless.ai/), then add it to Portkey to create the virtual key.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={null}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
        provider:"@PROVIDER" // Your featherless provider slug from model catalog
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={null}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
        provider="@PROVIDER"   # Replace with your model provider slug for featherless AI
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 3. Invoke Chat Completions with Featherless AI

Use the Portkey instance to send requests to Featherless AI.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={null}
    const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
        model: 'google/gemma-3-4b-it',
    });

    console.log(chatCompletion.choices);d
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={null}
    completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages= [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],
        model= 'google/gemma-3-4b-it'
    )

    print(completion)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Managing Featherless AI Prompts

You can manage all prompts to Featherless AI in the [Prompt Library](/product/prompt-library). All the current models of Featherless AI are supported and you can easily start testing different prompts.

Once you're ready with your prompt, you can use the `portkey.prompts.completions.create` interface to use the prompt in your application.

## Supported Models
