IBM Generative AI Python SDK (Tech Preview)#
This is the Python SDK for IBM Foundation Models Studio to bring IBM Generative AI into Python programs and to also extend it with useful operations and types.
You can start a trial version or request a demo via https://www.ibm.com/products/watsonx-ai.
Migration to V3
We recently updated the SDK with improved moderations and schemas. See the V3 Migration Guide.
Migration to V2
We rewrote nearly the whole SDK to be faster and more reliable than V1 and would bring you all the latest features available on the API. To easily migrate, we prepared the V2 Migration Guide.
