Quickstart

Any code using the OpenAI SDK works with Parel. Change two values: api_key and base_url.

The CLI is the fastest path for local setup:

brew install parel-cloud/tap/parel
parel auth login
parel chat "Hello from Parel"

Or use the OpenAI SDK directly:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="pk-dev-YOUR_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.parel.cloud/v1",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gemini-3-flash",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
