# Cerebras OpenAI

> Use Cerebras via OpenAI-compatible interface in Agno agents.

## OpenAI-Compatible Integration

Cerebras can also be used via an OpenAI-compatible interface, making it easy to integrate with tools and libraries that expect the OpenAI API.

### Using the OpenAI-Compatible Class

The `CerebrasOpenAI` class provides an OpenAI-style interface for Cerebras models:

First, install openai:

```shell theme={null}
uv pip install openai
```

```python theme={null}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.cerebras import CerebrasOpenAI

agent = Agent(
    model=CerebrasOpenAI(
        id="llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct",  # Model ID to use
        # base_url="https://api.cerebras.ai", # Optional: default endpoint for Cerebras
    ),
    markdown=True,
)

# Print the response in the terminal
agent.print_response("write a two sentence horror story")
```
