💡 Implementation Examples
Python - OpenAI API
import openai
# Configure API
openai.api_key = "your-api-key"
# Generate text
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model="gpt-4",
messages=[
{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"}
]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
Python - Image Generation
import requests
# Generate image with DALL-E
response = requests.post(
"https://api.openai.com/v1/images/generations",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"},
json={
"prompt": "A futuristic cityscape at sunset",
"n": 1,
"size": "1024x1024"
}
)
image_url = response.json()["data"][0]["url"]
Python - Speech Synthesis
import requests
# ElevenLabs TTS
response = requests.post(
"https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/text-to-speech/voice_id",
headers={"xi-api-key": api_key},
json={
"text": "Hello, this is AI-generated speech!",
"model_id": "eleven_monolingual_v1"
}
)
# Save audio file
with open("output.wav", "wb") as f:
f.write(response.content)
