# Legacy warning ⚠️
The inference clients from [huggingface_hub](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/inference) are recommended over `text_generation`.

# Text Generation

The Hugging Face Text Generation Python library provides a convenient way of interfacing with a
`text-generation-inference` instance running on
[Hugging Face Inference Endpoints](https://huggingface.co/inference-endpoints) or on the Hugging Face Hub.

## Get Started

### Install

```shell
pip install text-generation
```

### Inference API Usage

```python
from text_generation import InferenceAPIClient

client = InferenceAPIClient("bigscience/bloomz")
text = client.generate("Why is the sky blue?").generated_text
print(text)
# ' Rayleigh scattering'

# Token Streaming
text = ""
for response in client.generate_stream("Why is the sky blue?"):
    if not response.token.special:
        text += response.token.text

print(text)
# ' Rayleigh scattering'
```

or with the asynchronous client:

```python
from text_generation import InferenceAPIAsyncClient

client = InferenceAPIAsyncClient("bigscience/bloomz")
response = await client.generate("Why is the sky blue?")
print(response.generated_text)
# ' Rayleigh scattering'

# Token Streaming
text = ""
async for response in client.generate_stream("Why is the sky blue?"):
    if not response.token.special:
        text += response.token.text

print(text)
# ' Rayleigh scattering'
```

Check all currently deployed models on the Huggingface Inference API with `Text Generation` support:

```python
from text_generation.inference_api import deployed_models

print(deployed_models())
```

### Hugging Face Inference Endpoint usage

```python
from text_generation import Client

endpoint_url = "https://YOUR_ENDPOINT.endpoints.huggingface.cloud"

client = Client(endpoint_url)
text = client.generate("Why is the sky blue?").generated_text
print(text)
# ' Rayleigh scattering'

# Token Streaming
text = ""
for response in client.generate_stream("Why is the sky blue?"):
    if not response.token.special:
        text += response.token.text

print(text)
# ' Rayleigh scattering'
```

or with the asynchronous client:

```python
from text_generation import AsyncClient

endpoint_url = "https://YOUR_ENDPOINT.endpoints.huggingface.cloud"

client = AsyncClient(endpoint_url)
response = await client.generate("Why is the sky blue?")
print(response.generated_text)
# ' Rayleigh scattering'

# Token Streaming
text = ""
async for response in client.generate_stream("Why is the sky blue?"):
    if not response.token.special:
        text += response.token.text

print(text)
# ' Rayleigh scattering'
```
