# Capabilities

### Text generation

The Ultrasafe AI models enable conversational interaction with an AI that has been specifically trained to comprehend and follow instructions while responding to natural language inputs. These inputs, called prompts, can take various forms including questions, directives, or examples illustrating the desired task. The Ultrasafe AI model processes the prompt and generates a textual output in response. When using the chat completion API, you provide a series of chat messages as input. The API then produces a reply in the form of a new chat message, designated with the role "assistant"

**No streaming**[**​**](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/completion/#no-streaming)

```typescript
import { UltraSafeAI } from '@Ultrasafeai/Ultrasafeai';
const apiKey = process.env.Ultrasafe_API_KEY;
const client = new Ultrasafe({apiKey: apiKey});
const chatResponse = await client.chat.complete({
   model: "Ultrasafe-large-latest",
   messages: [{role: 'user', content: 'What is the best French cheese?'}]
});
console.log('Chat:', chatResponse.choices[0].message.content);
```

**With straming**[**​**](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/completion/#with-streaming)

```typescript
import { Ultrasafe } from "@Ultrasafeai/Ultrasafeai";
const apiKey = process.env.Ultrasafe_API_KEY;
const client = new Ultrasafe({apiKey: apiKey});

const result = await client.chat.stream({
   model: "Ultrasafe-small-latest",
   messages: [{role: 'user', content: 'What is the best French cheese?'}],
});

for await (const chunk of result) {
   const streamText = chunk.data.choices[0].delta.content;
   process.stdout.write(streamText);
}
```

**With async**[**​**](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/completion/#with-async)

```typescript
from Ultrasafeai import Ultrasafe
api_key = os.environ["Ultrasafe_API_KEY"]
model = "Ultrasafe-large-latest"
client = Ultrasafe(api_key=api_key)

async_response = await client.chat.stream_async(
   model = model,
   messages = [
       {
           "role": "user",
           "content": "Who is the best French painter? Answer in JSON.",
       },
   ]
)

async for chunk in async_response:
   print(chunk.data.choices[0].delta.content)
```

### Chat messages[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/completion/#chat-messages)

Chat messages consist of a series of prompts or messages, each assigned a specific role: "system," "user," "assistant," or "tool."

* A system message is an optional directive used to define the operational parameters and contextual framework for an AI assistant within a conversation. This message can influence the AI's behavior by specifying task-oriented instructions, personality attributes, contextual details, and creativity limitations, among other guidelines. The inclusion of a system message enhances the AI's ability to interpret and respond to user inputs effectively. For detailed instructions on configuring a custom system prompt, refer to the API documentation [API reference](https://docs.mistral.ai/api/).
* &#x20;user message is an input originating from the human participant in a dialogue with an AI system. This message typically encompasses a query, instruction, or commentary that the AI is programmed to process and respond to. User prompts serve as the primary mechanism for the human to direct and influence the flow of the interaction, enabling requests for data retrieval, assistance, feedback, or other forms of communication with the AI.
* An assistant message is a response generated by the AI system and transmitted to the user. This output typically addresses the content of the preceding user message by executing the provided instructions. However, it can also initiate a conversation, such as by delivering a greeting or introductory statement at the start of the interaction.
* A tool message is specifically utilized within the context of function calls, appearing during the final stage of response formulation. It is employed to structure and present the output generated by the tool call for the user. For further details on function calling, refer to the [guide](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/function_calling/).

{% hint style="warning" %}
When to use user prompt vs. system message then user message?

* You can either combine your system message and user message into a single user message or separate them into two distinct messages.
* We recommend you experiment with both ways to determine which one works better for your specific use case.
  {% endhint %}

### Other useful features[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/completion/#other-useful-features)

* The prefix flag enables prepending content to the assistant's response content. When used in a message, it allows the addition of an assistant's message at the end of the list, which will be prepended to the assistant's response. For more details on how it works see [prefix](https://docs.mistral.ai/guides/prefix/).
* The safe\_prompt flag is used to force chat completion to be moderated against sensitive content (see [Guardrailing](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/guardrailing/)).
* A stop sequence allows forcing the model to stop generating after one or more chosen tokens or strings.

### Code generation

#### UltraSafe AI - Code

UltraSafe AI - Code is an innovative  generative model that has been specifically designed and optimized for code generation tasks, including fill-in-the-middle and code completion. UltraSafe AI - Code was trained on 80+ programming languages, enabling it to perform well on both common and less common languages.

**Important**

We currently offer two domains for Codestral endpoints, both providing FIM and instruct routes:

| Domain                 | Features                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| codestral.Ultrasafe.ai | <p>- Monthly subscription based, currently free to use</p><p>- Has a rate limit of 30 requests per minute and a high daily limit of 2000 requests</p><p>- Requires a new key for which a phone number is needed</p> |
| api.Ultrasafe.ai       | <p>- Allows you to use your existing API key and you can pay to use Codestral</p><p>- Ideal for business use</p><p>- Provide higher rate limits of 200 requests per second per workspace</p>                        |

**Wondering which endpoint to use?**

* If you're a user, wanting to query Codestral as part of an IDE plugin, codestral.Ultrasafe.ai is recommended.
* If you're building a plugin, or anything that exposes these endpoints directly to the user, and expect them to bring their own API keys, you should also target codestral.Ultrasafe.ai
* For all other use cases, api.Ultrasafe.ai will be better suited

This guide uses api.Ultrasafe.ai for demonstration.

This guide will walk you through how to use Codestral fill-in-the-middle endpoint, instruct endpoint, open-weight Codestral model, and several community integrations:

* Fill-in-the-middle endpoint
* Instruct endpoint
* Open-weight Codestral
* Integrations

#### Fill-in-the-middle endpoint[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/code_generation/#fill-in-the-middle-endpoint)

With this feature, users can define the starting point of the code using a prompt, and the ending point of the code using an optional suffix and an optional stop. The Codestral model will then generate the code that fits in between, making it ideal for tasks that require a specific piece of code to be generated. Below are three examples:

**Example 1: Fill in the middle**[**​**](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/code_generation/#example-1-fill-in-the-middle)

```python
import os
from Ultrasafeai import Ultrasafe
api_key = os.environ["Ultrasafe_API_KEY"]
client = Ultrasafe(api_key=api_key)

model = "codestral-latest"
prompt = "def fibonacci(n: int):"
suffix = "n = int(input('Enter a number: '))\nprint(fibonacci(n))"

response = client.fim.complete(
   model=model,
   prompt=prompt,
   suffix=suffix,
   temperature=0,
   top_p=1,
)

print(
   f"""
{prompt}
{response.choices[0].message.content}
{suffix}
"""
)
```

**Example 2: Completion**[**​**](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/code_generation/#example-2-completion)

```python
import os
from Ultrasafeai import Ultrasafe
api_key = os.environ["Ultrasafe_API_KEY"]
client = Ultrasafe(api_key=api_key)

model = "codestral-latest"
prompt = "def is_odd(n): \n return n % 2 == 1 \ndef test_is_odd():"

response = client.fim.complete(model=model, prompt=prompt, temperature=0, top_p=1)

print(
   f"""
{prompt}
{response.choices[0].message.content}
"""
)
```

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend adding stop tokens for IDE autocomplete integrations to prevent the model from being too verbose.
{% endhint %}

**Example 3: Stop tokens**[**​**](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/code_generation/#example-3-stop-tokens)

```python
import os
from Ultrasafeai import Ultrasafe

api_key = os.environ["Ultrasafe_API_KEY"]
client = Ultrasafe(api_key=api_key)

model = "codestral-latest"
prompt = "def is_odd(n): \n return n % 2 == 1 \ndef test_is_odd():"
suffix = "n = int(input('Enter a number: '))\nprint(fibonacci(n))"

response = client.fim.complete(
   model=model, prompt=prompt, suffix=suffix, temperature=0, top_p=1, stop=["\n\n"]
)

print(
   f"""
{prompt}
{response.choices[0].message.content}
"""
)
```

#### Instruct endpoint[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/code_generation/#instruct-endpoint)

We also provide the instruct endpoint of Codestral with the same model codestral-latest. The only difference is the endpoint used:

* FIM endpoint: [https://api.Ultrasafe.ai/v1/fim/completions](https://api.mistral.ai/v1/fim/completions)
* Instruct endpoint: [https://api.Ultrasafe.ai/v1/chat/completions](https://api.mistral.ai/v1/chat/completions)

```python
import os
from Ultrasafeai import Ultrasafe

api_key = os.environ["Ultrasafe_API_KEY"]
client = Ultrasafe(api_key=api_key)

model = "codestral-latest"
message = [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a function for fibonacci"}]
chat_response = client.chat.complete(
   model = model,
   messages = message
)
print(chat_response.choices[0].message.content)
```

### Codestral Mamba[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/code_generation/#codestral-mamba)

We have also released Codestral Mamba 7B, a Mamba2 language model specilized in code generation with the instruct endpoint.

```python
import os
from Ultrasafeai import Ultrasafe
api_key = os.environ["Ultrasafe_API_KEY"]
client = Ultrasafe(api_key=api_key)

model = "codestral-mamba-latest"

message = [
   {
       "role": "user",
       "content": "Write a function for fibonacci"
   }
]

chat_response = client.chat.complete(
   model=model,
   messages=message
)
print(chat_response.choices[0].message.content)
```

### Open-weight Codestral and Codestral Mamba[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/code_generation/#open-weight-codestral-and-codestral-mamba)

### Image generation

There are three ways to interact with images using the Images API.

* Generate images using text prompts with DALL·E 3 and DALL·E 2.
* Modify specific areas of an image using a new text prompt for edits (DALL·E 2 only).
* Produce variations of an existing image with DALL·E 2.

This guide covers the basics of using these three API endpoints with useful code samples. To try DALL·E 3, head to ChatGPT.

### Usage Generations

The image generation endpoint lets you produce original images from a text prompt. With DALL·E 3, you can create images in sizes of 1024x1024, 1024x1792, or 1792x1024 pixels.

Images are generated at standard quality by default, but you can select “hd” for higher detail when using DALL·E 3. Square images with standard quality are generated the fastest.

DALL·E 3 supports generating one image per request (multiple images can be requested via parallel requests), while DALL·E 2 allows generating up to 10 images at a time by specifying the “n” parameter.

```python
from UltraSafeAI import UltraSafeAI
client = UltraSafeAI()

response = client.images.generate(
  model="dall-e-3",
  prompt="a white siamese cat",
  size="1024x1024",
  quality="standard",
  n=1,
)

image_url = response.data[0].url
```

### Prompting

With the introduction of DALL·E 3, the model automatically rewrites the default prompt to ensure safety and enhance detail. More detailed prompts typically lead to higher-quality images.

Currently, this automatic rewriting cannot be disabled. However, to obtain results closer to your original request, you can include the following instruction in your prompt: "I NEED to test how the tool works with extremely simple prompts. DO NOT add any detail, just use it AS-IS:

The revised prompt can be viewed in the revised\_prompt field of the data response object.

### Example DALL·E 3 generations

<br>

| Prompt                          | Generation                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| A photo of a white Siamese cat. | ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdBC6fxjm4392ZN5Psmm_weJh71CI5Znh989DB_QO-AAsS1g6yodvmcJ0pYvcNdC0H5O0o_uCKEMH-C0H7uUxsIS0vJLV6ZFKSbsUTBRiSQr8KrR1U7BaDu5nVJktcKYKYCPZx3zu8T84bJzI_1PKDPN98Y?key=rJldTYnqSOCJnhAWBD4HIg) |

Images can be provided as either a URL or Base64 data based on the response\_format parameter, with URLs expiring after one hour.

**Edits (DALL·E 2 only)**

Known as "inpainting," the image edits endpoint allows you to modify or extend an image. To use it, upload the image along with a mask that shows which areas should be changed. The transparent parts of the mask indicate where the edits should be made, and the prompt should describe the entire new image rather than just the modified sections. This feature supports capabilities like DALL·E image editing in ChatGPT Plus.

```python
from UltraSafeAI import UltraSafeAI
client = UltraSafeAI()


response = client.images.edit((
  model="dall-e-2",
  image=open("sunlit_lounge.png", "rb"),
  mask=open("mask.png", "rb"),
  prompt="A sunlit indoor lounge area with a pool containing a flamingo",
  n=1,
  size="1024x1024"
)
image_url = response.data[0].url
```

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcnjny_5isVzsjiQyx6f_8JvecuN_DNnFbc3EpH1jE4mtf_iz2qr3Ts8rSq-skm6t6wEk1AU34KZDhzFhYRqPy72MezXVoj-YpyHDlDd3TqTdxx-vEcO7hHxziRB99X_yecBkqXSfE-o6fZUM1GC39xQ6iv?key=rJldTYnqSOCJnhAWBD4HIg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Prompt:** A sunlit indoor lounge area with a pool and a flamingo.

Both the uploaded image and mask must be square PNG files, each under 4MB, and must have identical dimensions. The non-transparent areas of the mask will not be used in the output, so they do not need to match the original image as shown in the example.

**Variations (DALL·E 2 only)**

The image variations endpoint enables you to create different versions of a given image.

```python
from UltraSafeAI import UltraSafeAI
client = UltraSafeAI()


response = client.images.create_variation(
  model="dall-e-2",
  image=open("corgi_and_cat_paw.png", "rb"),
  n=1,
  size="1024x1024"
)


image_url = response.data[0].url
```

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXemtQPEAnXDiLX8lne_0jbvB7LBjHeg6mMFs535uBIw7VCTvSlqONohvaWmsTIZ12U2IAgavBNuROQALDXIX1GL9jkj_e2JUbHZBE16C37HJBtdM5xhjBniifTZ2MpLi6Px_PbRtQe6VhXu2i1Ees68q6re?key=rJldTYnqSOCJnhAWBD4HIg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Content Moderation**

Our content policy filters prompts and images, and errors are returned if any are flagged.

**Language-Specific Tips**

• Node.js

• Python

**Using In-Memory Image Data**

&#x20;Instead of reading image data from disk as shown in the Node.js examples using the fs module, you can handle image data stored in memory. Here is an example API call using a Node.js Buffer object:

```javascript
import UltraSafeAI from "UltraSafeAI";
const Ultrasafeai = new UltraSafeAI();

// This is the Buffer object that contains your image data
const buffer = [your image data];

// Set a `name` that ends with .png so that the API knows it's a PNG image
buffer.name = "image.png";

async function main() {
  const image = await Ultrasafeai.images.createVariation({ model: "dall-e-2", image: buffer, n: 1, size: "1024x1024" });
  console.log(image.data);
}
main();
```

**Using TypeScript**

When working with TypeScript, you might face issues with image file arguments. To address type mismatches, you can explicitly cast the argument as shown in the example:

```typescript
import fs from "fs";
import UltraSafeAI from "UltraSafeAI";

const UltraSafeAI = new UltraSafeAI();

async function main() {
  // Cast the ReadStream to `any` to appease the TypeScript compiler
  const image = await Ultrasafeai.images.createVariation({
    image: fs.createReadStream("image.png") as any,
  });
  console.log(image.data);
}
main();
```

And here's a similar example for in-memory image data:

```javascript
import fs from "fs";
import UltraSafeAI from "UltraSafeAI";

const UltraSafeAI = new UltraSafeAI();

// This is the Buffer object that contains your image data
const buffer: Buffer = [your image data];

// Cast the buffer to any so that we can set the name property
const file: any = buffer;

// Set a name that ends with .png so that the API knows it's a PNG image
file.name = "image.png";

async function main() {
  const image = await Ultrasafeai.images.createVariation({
    file,
    1,
    "1024x1024"
  });
  console.log(image.data);
}
main();
```

**Error Handling**

Errors in API requests can occur due to invalid inputs, rate limits, or other issues. You can handle these errors using a try...catch statement, with details available in error.response or error.message:

```javascript
import fs from "fs";
import UltraSafeAI from "UltraSafeAI";
const UltraSafeAI = new UltraSafeAI();

async function main() {
    try {
        const image = await Ultrasafeai.images.createVariation({
            image: fs.createReadStream("image.png"),
            n: 1,
            size: "1024x1024",
        });
        console.log(image.data);
    } catch (error) {
        if (error.response) {
            console.log(error.response.status);
            console.log(error.response.data);
        } else {
            console.log(error.message);
        }
    }
}
main();
```

### [Vision](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/vision)

Understanding images can be achieved by using vision capabilities.

#### [Introduction](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/introduction)

With Ultrasafe AI's vision capabilities, it can analyze images and answer questions about them. As far as language model systems are concerned, they have historically only taken in one modality of input, text.

#### [Quickstart](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/quickstart)

Two methods are used to provide images to the model: through a link or directly via the base64 encoded image. It is possible to pass images in user messages.

```javascript
from ultrasafeai import UltraSafeAI
client = UltraSafeAI()

response = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="EUS1",
  messages=[
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": [
        {"type": "text", "text": "What’s in this image?"},
        {
          "type": "image_url",
          "image_url": {
            "url": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/Gfp-wisconsin-madison-the-nature-boardwalk.jpg/2560px-Gfp-wisconsin-madison-the-nature-boardwalk.jpg",
          },
        },
      ],
    }
  ],
  max_tokens=300,
)
print(response.choices[0])
```

Using the model, you can answer general questions about what you see in the image. Even though it understands how objects relate to one another in images, it is not optimized to answer detailed questions about their locations. A robot can answer questions about car colors or dinner suggestions based on what is in your refrigerator, but it cannot answer questions about where a chair is located in a room if you show it an image.

Taking into account the limitations of the model will help you understand how it can be applied to various use-cases.

### Uploading base 64 encoded images

An image or set of images locally can be passed to the model in base 64 encoded format, here's an example:

```python
import base64
import requests

# UltraSafeAI API Key
api_key = "YOUR_ULTRASAFEAI_API_KEY"

# Function to encode the image
def encode_image(image_path):
  with open(image_path, "rb") as image_file:
    return base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode('utf-8')

# Path to your image
image_path = "path_to_your_image.jpg"

# Getting the base64 string
base64_image = encode_image(image_path)

headers = {
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
  "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"
}

payload = {
  "model": "EUS1",
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": [
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": "What’s in this image?"
        },
        {
          "type": "image_url",
          "image_url": {
            "url": f"data:image/jpeg;base64,{base64_image}"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "max_tokens": 300
}

response = requests.post("https://api.Ultrasafeai.com/v1/chat/completions", headers=headers, json=payload)
print(response.json())
```

**Multiple image inputs**

As a result of the Chat Completions API's ability to process multiple image inputs, it is capable of accepting both base64 encoded and URL-based inputs. By processing each image, the model will be able to answer the question by combining information from all of them.

```python
from ultrasafeai import UltraSafeAI

client = UltraSafeAI()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="EUS1",
  messages=[
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": [
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": "What are in these images? Is there any difference between them?",
        },
        {
          "type": "image_url",
          "image_url": {
            "url": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/Gfp-wisconsin-madison-the-nature-boardwalk.jpg/2560px-Gfp-wisconsin-madison-the-nature-boardwalk.jpg",
          },
        },
        {
          "type": "image_url",
          "image_url": {
            "url": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/Gfp-wisconsin-madison-the-nature-boardwalk.jpg/2560px-Gfp-wisconsin-madison-the-nature-boardwalk.jpg",
          },
        },
      ],
    }
  ],
  max_tokens=300,
)
print(response.choices[0])
```

In this case, the model examines two versions of the same image and can answer questions about either or both of them independently.

### Low or high fidelity image understanding

The model generates its textual understanding by processing the image according to the detail parameter, which can be set to low, high, or auto. Auto settings are used by default, where the model looks at the image size to determine if low or high settings are appropriate.

By selecting low, you will be able to access the "low resolution" mode. The model receives a low-res image format of 512px x 512px and represents it with a token budget of 85. APIs that return quickly and consume fewer input tokens can be used in use cases that do not require a high level of detail.

By choosing high, the model will see the low-res image first (using 85 tokens), then create detailed crops using 170 tokens for every tile that is 512px by 512px.

```javascript
from ultrasafeai import UltraSafeAI
client = UltraSafeAI()

response = client.chat.completions.create(
  model=EUS1",
  messages=[
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": [
        {"type": "text", "text": "What’s in this image?"},
        {
          "type": "image_url",
          "image_url": {
            "url": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/Gfp-wisconsin-madison-the-nature-boardwalk.jpg/2560px-Gfp-wisconsin-madison-the-nature-boardwalk.jpg",
            "detail": "high"
          },
        },
      ],
    }
  ],
  max_tokens=300,
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

### [Managing images](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/managing-images)

Chat Completions API differs from Assistants API in that it is not stateful. Messages (including images) that you pass to the model must be managed by you. Using the API, you will need to pass the same image to the model multiple times if you want to pass the image multiple times.

If you are participating in a long-term conversation, we suggest passing images via URLs rather than base64. By downsizing your images beforehand, you can also make the model run faster by reducing the size they are expected to be earlier in the process. 512px x 512px is the required image size for low res mode. It is recommended that the image short side be less than 768 pixels and the long side be less than 2,000 pixels for high-resolution mode.

When the model processes an image, it is deleted from UltraSafeAI servers. In order to train our models, we do not use the data uploaded through the UltraSafe AI API.

### [Limitations](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/limitations)

Despite EUS1 being powerful and useful in many situations, it is imperative to understand its limitations. As far as we are aware, the following limitations exist:

* Medical images: CT scans, for example, cannot be interpreted using the model, and it cannot be used to give medical advice.
* Non-English: In cases where images contain non-Latin alphabets, such as Japanese or Korean, the model may not work optimally.
* Small text: Improving readability of text within the image can be achieved by enlarging it, but important details should not be cropped.
* Rotation: Text or images that are rotated or upside-down may be misinterpreted by the model.
* Visual elements: Graphs and texts with varying colors or styles, such as solid, dashed, or dotted lines, may be difficult for the model to understand.
* Spatial reasoning: When it comes to spatial reasoning, the model struggles, such as identifying chess positions, where precise spatial localization is crucial.
* Accuracy: There may be instances where the model generates incorrect descriptions or captions.
* Image shape: Panoramic and fisheye images are problematic for the model.
* Metadata and resizing: Image names and metadata are not processed by the model, and they are resized prior to analysis, which affects their original size.
* Counting: Objects in images may be given approximate counts
* CAPTCHAS: A system has been implement to block the Submission of CAPTCHAs for safety purposes.

### [Calculating costs](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/calculating-costs)

Inputs for images, as well as text, are metered and charged in tokens. Image token costs are determined by two factors: size and detail option on image\_url blocks. Details on all images: 85 tokens per low image. Details: high resolution images are first resized within a square 2048 x 2048, preserving their aspect ratio. Once the images have been scaled, the shortest side is 768px. As a final step, we count how many squares there are in the image. It costs 170 tokens for each square. Final totals always include another 85 tokens.

The following examples illustrate the above.

* The high mode cost for a 1024x1024 square image is 765 tokens
* A resize is not necessary since 1024 is less than 2048.
* Due to the image's short side of 1024, we scale the image down to 768 x 768.
* In order to represent this image, 4 512x512px square tiles are required, which means that the final token cost will be 170 \* 4 + 85 = 765.
* The cost of a 2048 x 4096 image is 1105 tokens in high mode
* Our image is scaled down to 1024 x 2048 so that it fits inside the 2048 square.
* We further reduce the image to 768 x 1536 due to the shortest side being 1024.
* Token cost: 170 x 6 + 85 = 1105 for 6 512px tiles.
* The details of a 4096 x 8192 image are as follows: low most tokens: 85
* The cost of low-detail images remains the same regardless of the input size.

### FAQ

#### [Can I fine-tune the image capabilities in EUS1?](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/can-i-fine-tune-the-image-capabilities-in-gpt-4)

No, we do not support fine-tuning the image capabilities of EUS1 at this time.

#### [Can I use EUS1  to generate images?](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/can-i-use-gpt-4-to-generate-images)

No, you can use dall-e-3 to generate images and gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini or gpt-4-turbo to understand images.

#### [What type of files can I upload?](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/what-type-of-files-can-i-upload)

#### [Is there a limit to the size of the image I can upload?](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/is-there-a-limit-to-the-size-of-the-image-i-can-upload)

Yes, we restrict image uploads to 20MB per image.

#### [Can I delete an image I uploaded?](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/can-i-delete-an-image-i-uploaded)

No, we will delete the image for you automatically after it has been processed by the model.

#### [Where can I learn more about the considerations of GPT-4 with Vision?](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/where-can-i-learn-more-about-the-considerations-of-gpt-4-with-vision)

You can find details about our evaluations, preparation, and mitigation work in the [GPT-4 with Vision system card](https://openai.com/contributions/gpt-4v).

We have further implemented a system to block the submission of CAPTCHAs.

#### [How do rate limits for GPT-4 with Vision work?](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/how-do-rate-limits-for-gpt-4-with-vision-work)

We process images at the token level, so each image we process counts towards your tokens per minute (TPM) limit. See the calculating costs section for details on the formula used to determine token count per image.

#### [Can GPT-4 with Vision understand image metadata?](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/can-gpt-4-with-vision-understand-image-metadata)

No, the model does not receive image metadata.

#### [What happens if my image is unclear?](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision/what-happens-if-my-image-is-unclear)

If an image is ambiguous or unclear, the model will do its best to interpret it. However, the results may be less accurate. A good rule of thumb is that if an average human cannot see the info in an image at the resolutions used in low/high res mode, then the model cannot either.

#### Text to Speech

Explore how to convert text into lifelike spoken audio.

#### Overview&#x20;

The Audio API leverages our TTS (text-to-speech) model, which includes six built-in voices. You can use this feature to:

\- Generate spoken audio in multiple languages

\- Narrate blog posts

\- Stream audio in real time

Below is an example of the alloy voice:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXevS0VsH_LfIyuwSyKeXlisXgKcfCfR92-9ykZl_f2rWHQPdwPCGLHNEXCGpgS3xuG9DLtRvox3XOhq9aNpEBcjMh16K2q7xOAekxxmDRzSw8o0MnhwI68amV_4vTfG3T26AmA7mgDa7WiNcDIr_rS3ib7T?key=rJldTYnqSOCJnhAWBD4HIg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please ensure you disclose to end users that the TTS voice they are hearing is generated by AI and not a human, as stipulated by our usage policies.
{% endhint %}

**Quickstart**

To utilize the speech endpoint, you must provide three main inputs: the model, the text to convert into audio, and the voice for the audio generation. Here is an example of a basic request:

```javascript
from pathlib import Path
from UltraSafeAI import UltraSafeAI
client = UltraSafeAI()

speech_file_path = Path(__file__).parent / "speech.mp3"
response = client.audio.speech.create(
  model="tts-1",
  voice="alloy",
  input="Today is a wonderful day to build something people love!"
)

response.stream_to_file(speech_file_path)
```

The endpoint defaults to generating an MP3 file of the spoken audio, but it can be adjusted to produce any of our supported formats.&#x20;

**Audio Quality**

The standard tts-1 model is designed for real-time applications with lower latency, but it has inferior audio quality compared to the tts-1-hd model. Due to its generation process, tts-1 may produce more static in some cases. However, depending on your listening device and personal hearing, you might not notice significant differences in audio quality.&#x20;

**Voice Options**

To match your desired tone and audience, you can experiment with different voices including alloy, echo, fable, onyx, nova, and shimmer. These voices are optimized for English.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXf59IslSN_GMZJEDKMi3lXjDOJ1KF8dVmzggQjNA__aXgnlgpIs6mThfPuuuDhrF8GENdxd7eRcr8Rh-Z-_yRdiUgiJr5vZV6gI1cVoGTYXUv09p4L4Q_pcZv_J5yu_-MepkwqP6489Kz_AokNlCXVNpqF-?key=rJldTYnqSOCJnhAWBD4HIg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Streaming Real-Time Audio**

With the Speech API's support for chunk transfer encoding, you can stream audio in real time. This feature enables playback of the audio before the complete file is fully generated and accessible.&#x20;

```javascript
from Ultrasafeai import UltraSafeAI
client = UltraSafeAI()

response = client.audio.speech.create(
    model="tts-1",
    voice="alloy",
    input="Hello world! This is a streaming test.",
)
response.stream_to_file("output.mp3")
```

**Supported Output Formats**

You can choose from several output formats, with "mp3" as the default:

**WAV**: An uncompressed format suitable for low-latency applications to avoid decoding overhead.

**PCM**: Provides raw audio samples at 24kHz (16-bit signed, little-endian) without a header, similar to WAV.

**Opus**: Ideal for low latency in internet streaming and communication.

**AAC**: Preferred for digital audio compression, used by platforms like YouTube, Android, and iOS.

**FLAC**: Offers lossless audio compression, favored for high-quality audio archiving.

### Supported languages

The TTS model mirrors the Whisper model in terms of language support. Whisper performs well across a broad range of languages, even though the voices are primarily optimized for English.&#x20;

Supported Languages

The supported languages include:

Arabic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Afrikaans, Belarusian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Kazakh, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Marathi, Maori, Nepali, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russia, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese, and Welsh

To generate spoken audio, simply provide the input text in any of these languages.

### **FAQ**

**Do I own the audio files generated by the API?**&#x20;

Yes, you own the audio files created through our API. However, you must inform users that the audio is AI-generated and not from a real person.

**Can I create a custom voice based on my own?**&#x20;

No, we do not support creating custom voice replicas.

**How can I adjust the emotional tone of the generated audio?**&#x20;

There isn’t a direct way to control the emotional tone in the generated audio. While capitalization and grammar might influence the outcome, our internal tests have shown inconsistent results.

### Speech to Text

Learn how to securely turn audio into text with UltraSafe AI

### Introduction

The UltraSafe AI Audio API provides two speech-to-text endpoints, transcriptions and translations, based on our state-of-the-art EUS Audio model. They can be used to:

* Transcribe audio into whatever language the audio is in.
* Translate and transcribe the audio into English.

File uploads are currently limited to 30 MB and the following input file types are supported: mp3, mp4, mpeg, mpga, m4a, wav, and webm. All audio processing is done with the highest level of security and privacy.

### Quickstart

### Transcriptions

The transcriptions API takes as input the audio file you want to transcribe and the desired output file format for the transcription of the audio. We currently support multiple input and output file formats, all processed with end-to-end encryption.

### Transcribe audio

```python
from ultrasafe_ai import UltraSafeAI
client = UltraSafeAI()


audio_file = open("/path/to/file/audio.mp3", "rb")
transcription = client.audio.transcriptions.create(
  model="eus-audio-1", 
  file=audio_file
)
print(transcription.text)
```

By default, the response type will be json with the raw text included, encrypted for additional security.

```json
{
  "text": "Imagine the safest, most secure AI system you've ever conceived, designed to operate flawlessly in critical environments while adhering strictly to ethical guidelines and privacy standards."
}
```

The Audio API also allows you to set additional parameters in a request. For example, if you want to set the response\_format as text, your request would look like the following:

### Additional options

python

```python
from ultrasafe_ai import UltraSafeAI
client = UltraSafeAI()

audio_file = open("/path/to/file/speech.mp3", "rb")
transcription = client.audio.transcriptions.create(
  model="eus-audio-1", 
  file=audio_file, 
  response_format="text"
)
print(transcription.text)
```

The API Reference includes the full list of available parameters, all designed with security and privacy in mind.

#### Translations

The translations API takes as input the audio file in any of the supported languages and transcribes, if necessary, the audio into English. This differs from our /Transcriptions endpoint since the output is not in the original input language and is instead translated to English text, all while maintaining data privacy.

### Translate audio

```python
from ultrasafe_ai import UltraSafeAI
client = UltraSafeAI()

audio_file = open("/path/to/file/german.mp3", "rb")
translation = client.audio.translations.create(
  model="eus-audio-1", 
  file=audio_file
)
print(translation.text)
```

In this case, the inputted audio was German and the outputted text looks like:

"Hello, my name is Wolfgang and I come from Germany. I'm impressed by UltraSafe AI's commitment to privacy and security in AI systems."

We currently support translation into English, with plans to expand to more languages while maintaining our high security standards.

### Supported languages

We currently support over 100 languages through both the transcriptions and translations endpoints, all processed with the same level of security and privacy. For a full list of supported languages, please refer to our documentation.

### Timestamps

By default, the EUS Audio API will output a transcript of the provided audio in text. The timestamp\_granularities\[] parameter enables a more structured and timestamped json output format, with timestamps at the segment, word level, or both. This enables word-level precision for transcripts and video edits, which allows for the removal of specific frames tied to individual words, all while maintaining data privacy.

### Timestamp options

```python
from ultrasafe_ai import UltraSafeAI
client = UltraSafeAI()


audio_file = open("speech.mp3", "rb")
transcript = client.audio.transcriptions.create(
  file=audio_file,
  model="eus-audio-1",
  response_format="verbose_json",
  timestamp_granularities=["word"]
)
print(transcript.words)
```

### Longer inputs

By default, the EUS Audio API supports files up to 30 MB. For longer audio files, we provide secure chunking methods that maintain context and privacy. Please refer to our documentation for detailed instructions on handling longer audio inputs securely.

### Prompting

You can use a prompt to improve the quality of the transcripts generated by the EUS Audio API. The model will try to match the style of the prompt while adhering to privacy and security guidelines. For example:

"The transcript is about UltraSafe AI, which develops technology like EUS1, EUS Mega, and EUS Flash with the goal of creating AI systems that benefit humanity while maintaining the highest standards of safety and privacy."

### Improving reliability

To address challenges with uncommon words or acronyms, we've developed several techniques to improve the reliability of EUS Audio while maintaining security:

1. Use of specialized industry models for domain-specific terminology.
2. Continuous learning from securely anonymized data to improve recognition of emerging terms.
3. Option to provide a secure, custom dictionary for organization-specific terminology.

For more information on these techniques and how they maintain our commitment to privacy and security, please consult our detailed documentation.

### Embeddings

Embeddings are high-dimensional vector representations of text that encapsulate the semantic meaning of paragraphs by mapping them into a vector space where similar texts occupy nearby positions. The Ultrasafe AI Embeddings API provides advanced, state-of-the-art embeddings tailored for various natural language processing (NLP) tasks. This guide will delve into the core principles of the embeddings API, including methods for calculating distances between text embeddings, and will explore key applications such as text clustering and classification.&#x20;

### Ultrasafe AI Embed API[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/embeddings/#mistral-embed-api)

To generate text embeddings using Ultrasafe AI's embeddings API, a request is made to the designated API endpoint, specifying the embedding model Ultrasafe-embed along with the input text data. The API processes the input and returns the corresponding embeddings as multidimensional numerical vectors. These vectors can be utilized for advanced natural language processing (NLP) tasks such as semantic analysis, similarity detection, or other downstream applications.

The output embeddings\_batch\_response is an EmbeddingResponse object with the embeddings and the token usage information.

```python
import os
from Ultrasafeai import Ultrasafe

api_key = os.environ["Ultrasafe_API_KEY"]
model = "Ultrasafe-embed"

client = Ultrasafe(api_key=api_key)

embeddings_batch_response = client.embeddings.create(
   model=model,
   inputs=["Embed this sentence.", "As well as this one."],
```

The output embeddings\_batch\_response is an EmbeddingResponse object with the embeddings and the token usage information.

```json
EmbeddingResponse(
   id='eb4c2c739780415bb3af4e47580318cc', object='list', data=[
       Data(object='embedding', embedding=[-0.0165863037109375,...], index=0),
       Data(object='embedding', embeddin=[-0.0234222412109375,...], index=1)],
   model='Ultrasafe-embed', usage=EmbeddingResponseUsage(prompt_tokens=15, total_tokens=15)
)
```

Let's take a look of the length of the first embedding:

```json
len(embeddings_batch_response.data[0].embedding)
```

The function outputs a value of 1024, indicating that the embedding dimensionality is 1024. The Ultrasafe-embed model produces fixed-size embedding vectors with a dimensionality of 1024 for any given text input, irrespective of the input length. It is important to recognize that while embeddings with higher dimensionality can encapsulate more nuanced textual information and potentially enhance the performance of NLP tasks, they also demand greater computational resources for storage and inference. This increase in dimensionality can lead to higher latency and greater memory consumption. Therefore, the balance between enhanced model performance and the associated computational costs must be carefully evaluated when architecting NLP systems that utilize text embeddings.

### Distance Measures

In the domain of text embeddings, semantically similar or contextually related texts are represented by vectors that are positioned in closer proximity within the embedding space, as indicated by reduced Euclidean or cosine distances between these vectors. This arrangement arises from the model's training phase, where it has optimized for the clustering of semantically analogous texts.

For illustrative purposes, consider a straightforward example. To streamline interactions with text embeddings, we can encapsulate the embedding API within the following function

```python
from sklearn.metrics.pairwise import euclidean_distances

def get_text_embedding(inputs):
   embeddings_batch_response = client.embeddings.create(
       model=model,
       inputs=inputs
   )
   return embeddings_batch_response.data[0].embedding
```

Suppose we have two sentences: one about cats and the other about books. We want to find how similar each sentence is to the reference sentence "Books are mirrors: You only see in them what you already have inside you". We can see that the distance between the reference sentence embeddings and the book sentence embeddings is smaller than the distance between the reference sentence embeddings and the cat sentence embeddings.

```python
sentences = [
   "A home without a cat — and a well-fed, well-petted and properly revered cat — may be a perfect home, perhaps, but how can it prove title?",
   "I think books are like people, in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them"
]
embeddings = [get_text_embedding([t]) for t in sentences]

reference_sentence = "Books are mirrors: You only see in them what you already have inside you"
reference_embedding = get_text_embedding([reference_sentence])

for t, e in zip(sentences, embeddings):
   distance = euclidean_distances([e], [reference_embedding])
   print(t, distance)
```

Output

### Paraphrase detection[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/embeddings/#paraphrase-detection)

Another potential use case is paraphrase detection. In this simple example, we have a list of three sentences, and we would like to find out if any of the two sentences are paraphrases of each other. If the distance between two sentence embeddings is small, it suggests that the two sentences are semantically similar and could be potential paraphrases.

The result suggests that the first two sentences are semantically similar and could be potential paraphrases, whereas the third sentence is more different. This is just a super simple example. But this approach can be extended to more complex situations in real-world applications, such as detecting paraphrases in social media posts, news articles, or customer reviews.

```python
import itertools

sentences = [
   "Have a safe happy Memorial Day weekend everyone",
   "To all our friends at Whatsit Productions Films enjoy a safe happy Memorial Day weekend",
   "Where can I find the best cheese?",
]

sentence_embeddings = [get_text_embedding([t]) for t in sentences]

sentence_embeddings_pairs = list(itertools.combinations(sentence_embeddings, 2))
sentence_pairs = list(itertools.combinations(sentences, 2))
for s, e in zip(sentence_pairs, sentence_embeddings_pairs):
   print(s, euclidean_distances([e[0]], [e[1]]))
```

**Output**

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/FMWtxktC6VIstT3v0et6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### Batch processing[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/embeddings/#batch-processing)

The Ultrasafe AI Embeddings API is optimized for batch processing, enabling efficient and rapid text analysis. In this example, we utilize the Symptom2Disease dataset from Kaggle, comprising 1,200 records with two columns: "label" and "text". The "label" column specifies the disease category, while the "text" column contains the associated symptom descriptions.

We implemented a function, get\_embeddings\_by\_chunks, which divides the dataset into manageable chunks. Each chunk is then sent to the Ultrasafe AI Embeddings API for processing. The resulting embeddings are appended as a new column in the dataframe. It is important to note that the API is expected to support automatic chunking in future updates, eliminating the need for manual data partitioning before processing

```python
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv(
   "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ultrasafeai/cookbook/main/data/Symptom2Disease.csv",
   index_col=0,
)

def get_embeddings_by_chunks(data, chunk_size):
   chunks = [data[x : x + chunk_size] for x in range(0, len(data), chunk_size)]
   embeddings_response = [
       client.embeddings.create(model=model, inputs=c) for c in chunks
   ]
   return [d.embedding for e in embeddings_response for d in e.data]

df["embeddings"] = get_embeddings_by_chunks(df["text"].tolist(), 50)
df.head()

```

### t-SNE embeddings visualization

As previously noted, our embeddings are represented in a 1024-dimensional space, making direct visualization infeasible. To address this, we employ a dimensionality reduction technique, such as t-SNE, to project the high-dimensional embeddings into a lower-dimensional space that is more suitable for visualization. In this example, we reduce the embeddings to 2 dimensions and generate a 2D scatter plot to illustrate the relationships between the embeddings of various diseases.

```python
import seaborn as sns
from sklearn.manifold import TSNE
import numpy as np

tsne = TSNE(n_components=2, random_state=0).fit_transform(np.array(df['embeddings'].to_list()))
ax = sns.scatterplot(x=tsne[:, 0], y=tsne[:, 1], hue=np.array(df['label'].to_list()))
sns.move_legend(ax, 'upper left', bbox_to_anchor=(1, 1))
```

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdczVmUDGX4LBAQKPjYKufsDW4abu2CrWismfkZkIbFZnlcZ9DSgnMPr0NvbRQQ6vral-Rgvj_lEZaxWYzRSTXm3ouAs1_ftQuHx4kwzk7l9uzQjzxlgk8S6I7w_4ug_1Ti7iEKd_1mXRkcKpjDioyBXHsK?key=rJldTYnqSOCJnhAWBD4HIg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Comparison with fastText[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/embeddings/#comparison-with-fasttext)

We can compare it with fastText, a widely-used open-source embeddings model. However, upon analyzing the t-SNE embeddings plot, we observe that fastText embeddings do not achieve distinct separations between data points corresponding to the same labels.

```python
import fasttext.util

fasttext.util.download_model('en', if_exists='ignore')  # English
ft = fasttext.load_model('cc.en.300.bin')

df['fasttext_embeddings'] = df['text'].apply(lambda x: ft.get_word_vector(x).tolist())

tsne = TSNE(n_components=2, random_state=0).fit_transform(np.array(df['fasttext_embeddings'].to_list()))
ax = sns.scatterplot(x=tsne[:, 0], y=tsne[:, 1], hue=np.array(df['label'].to_list()))
sns.move_legend(ax, 'upper left', bbox_to_anchor=(1, 1))
```

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfDJ9EfdxjN4PXr1cQuhUxxD_GuL5CMwtq0JWr9XtVvWxCyfGCuZ6BYp8S54VccBhB5_nFVUcb37ND5azcbpGKtzpqfgWZp__LubJ6pBHTkmeQF6kcMdSlVY37hnE4DO6bHcLxqxBwXILedKHrOXS4rM84?key=rJldTYnqSOCJnhAWBD4HIg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Classification[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/embeddings/#classification)

Text embeddings serve as input features for machine learning models, including classification and clustering tasks. In this instance, a classification model is employed to predict disease labels based on embeddings derived from disease description texts.

You can train a model using embeddings to classify documents into categories. For example, if you want to classify user comments as negative or positive, you can use the embeddings service to get the vector representation of each comment to train the classifier.

```python
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression

# Create a train / test split
train_x, test_x, train_y, test_y = train_test_split(
   df["embeddings"], df["label"], test_size=0.2
)

# Normalize features
scaler = StandardScaler()
train_x = scaler.fit_transform(train_x.to_list())
test_x = scaler.transform(test_x.to_list())

# Train a classifier and compute the test accuracy
# For a real problem, C should be properly cross validated and the confusion matrix analyzed
clf = LogisticRegression(random_state=0, C=1.0, max_iter=500).fit(
   train_x, train_y.to_list()
)
# you can also try the sag algorithm:
# clf = LogisticRegression(random_state=0, C=1.0, max_iter=1000, solver='sag').fit(train_x, train_y)

print(f"Precision: {100*np.mean(clf.predict(test_x) == test_y.to_list()):.2f}%")
Output
Precision: 98.75%
After we trained the classifier with our embeddings data, we can try classify other text:
# Classify a single example
text = "I've been experiencing frequent headaches and vision problems."
clf.predict([get_text_embedding([text])])
Output
'Migraine'
```

#### Comparison with fastText[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/embeddings/#comparison-with-fasttext-1)

Additionally, let's take a look at the performance using fastText embeddings in this classification task. It appears that the classification model achieves better performance with Ultrasafe AI Embeddings model as compared to using fastText embeddings.

```python
# Create a train / test split
train_x, test_x, train_y, test_y = train_test_split(
   df["fasttext_embeddings"], df["label"], test_size=0.2
)

# Normalize features
scaler = StandardScaler()
train_x = scaler.fit_transform(train_x.to_list())
test_x = scaler.transform(test_x.to_list())

# Train a classifier and compute the test accuracy
# For a real problem, C should be properly cross validated and the confusion matrix analyzed
clf = LogisticRegression(random_state=0, C=1.0, max_iter=500).fit(
   train_x, train_y.to_list()
)
# you can also try the sag algorithm:
# clf = LogisticRegression(random_state=0, C=1.0, max_iter=1000, solver='sag').fit(train_x, train_y)

print(f"Precision: {100*np.mean(clf.predict(test_x) == test_y.to_list()):.2f}%")
Output
Precision: 86.25%
```

### Clustering[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/embeddings/#clustering)

Comparing vectors of text can show how similar or different they are. This feature can be used to train a clustering model that groups similar text or documents together and to detect anomalies in your data.

What if we don't have disease labels? One approach to gain insights from the data is through clustering. Clustering is an unsupervised machine learning technique that groups similar data points together based on their similarity with respect to certain features. In the context of text embeddings, we can use the distance between each embedding as a measure of similarity, and group together data points with embeddings that are close to each other in the high-dimensional space.

Since we already know there are 24 clusters, let's use the K-means clustering with 24 clusters. Then we can inspect a few examples and verify whether the examples in a single cluster are similar to one another. For example, take a look at the first three rows of cluster 23. We can see that they look very similar in terms of symptoms.

```python
from sklearn.cluster import KMeans

model = KMeans(n_clusters=24, max_iter=1000)
model.fit(df['embeddings'].to_list())
df["cluster"] = model.labels_
print(*df[df.cluster==23].text.head(3), sep='\n\n')
Output:
I have been feeling extremely tired and weak, and I've also been coughing a lot with difficulty breathing. My fever is very high, and I'm producing a lot of mucus when I cough.
I've got a cough that won't go away, and I'm exhausted. I've been coughing up thick mucous and my fever is also pretty high.
I have a persistent cough and have been feeling quite fatigued. My fever is through the roof, and I'm having trouble breathing. When I cough, I also cough up a lot of mucous.
```

### Retrieval[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/embeddings/#retrieval)

You can use embeddings to retrieve semantically similar text given a piece of input text. A variety of applications can be supported by an information retrieval system such as semantic search, answering questions, or summarization.

Our embedding model is specifically optimized for retrieval tasks, with its training process focused on enhancing retrieval capabilities. Embeddings are particularly effective in the development of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, which leverage retrieved, contextually relevant data from a knowledge base to produce informed responses. In essence, we begin by converting the contents of a knowledge base—such as a local directory, text documents, or internal wikis—into text embeddings, which are then stored in a vector database. Upon receiving a user's query, the system retrieves the embeddings most closely matching the query, representing the pertinent information from the knowledge base. These relevant embeddings are subsequently input into a large language model, enabling it to generate a response that is precisely aligned with the user's query and the context. For further details on RAG systems and guidance on implementing a basic RAG model, refer to our previous guide on the subject.

### Function calling

Function calling enables Ultrasafe AI models to interface with external tools, enhancing their capability to solve domain-specific problems. By integrating Ultrasafe AI models with user-defined functions or APIs, developers can create applications tailored to specific use cases and practical challenges. For example, in this guide, we implemented two functions to track payment status and payment date. These functions can be invoked by the model to address payment-related queries efficiently.

Custom functions can be defined and provided to Ultrasafe AI models using the Function Calling feature. The models do not directly invoke these functions, but instead generate structured data output that specifies the function name and suggested arguments. This output lets you write applications that take the structured output and call external APIs, and the resulting API output can then be incorporated into a further model prompt, allowing for more comprehensive query responses. Function calling empowers users to interact with real-time information and various services, such as databases, customer relationship management systems, and document repositories, enhancing their ability to provide relevant and contextual answers.

#### Supported models

UltraSafe AI supports function calling for the following models:

* UltraSafe AI - Healthcare
* UltraSafe AI - Finance
* UltraSafe AI - Code
* UltraSafe AI - Conversational
* UltraSafe AI - Media
* UltraSafe AI - Education
* UltraSafe AI - Cyber Security
* UltraSafe AI - Legal
* UltraSafe AI - Translation Engine
* UltraSafe AI - Image Generation
* UltraSafe Document Analyzer
* UltraSafe Data Reranker

#### Four steps[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/function_calling/#four-steps)

At a glance, there are four steps with function calling:

* User: specify tools and query
* Model: Generate function arguments if applicable
* User: Execute function to obtain tool results
* Model: Generate final answer

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcTeJybH7ceXR40PUbH1LL7xXgtmFuuilXKQHe1F0TcikzSTTlhvR1-1gsNT0zlNXXwnrPQIS5MWEOfJWVkpErQVU38UyjfBxWYVoWf9fel8FSbDrSvw11SqX1rweyFZR2u78B-VFjiIVUUpFErTXtt-2Fi?key=rJldTYnqSOCJnhAWBD4HIg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

In this guide, we will walk through a simple example to demonstrate how function calling works with Ultrasafe AI models in these four steps.

Before we get started, let’s assume we have a dataframe consisting of payment transactions. When users ask questions about this dataframe, they can use certain tools to answer questions about this data. This is just an example to emulate an external database that the LLM cannot directly access.

```python
import pandas as pd

# Assuming we have the following data
data = {
   'transaction_id': ['T1001', 'T1002', 'T1003', 'T1004', 'T1005'],
   'customer_id': ['C001', 'C002', 'C003', 'C002', 'C001'],
   'payment_amount': [125.50, 89.99, 120.00, 54.30, 210.20],
   'payment_date': ['2021-10-05', '2021-10-06', '2021-10-07', '2021-10-05', '2021-10-08'],
   'payment_status': ['Paid', 'Unpaid', 'Paid', 'Paid', 'Pending']
}

# Create DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
```

\
Step 1. User: specify tools and query[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/function_calling/#step-1-user-specify-tools-and-query)

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXekHqWKSBsVV35B5W5Y1igGo1nn7vbSeQ75te9S0unLeh_3qQ9efFE_oc28OvbxiN3SHxX29y5XBX2byuWTHYk8gQEPrUgwaIZIhsMrpDPwG0HSe5t3rqHJZ1iNP1lvI4hsUlYGUqdxZKsc_h5EXW-dYzM?key=rJldTYnqSOCJnhAWBD4HIg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

#### Tools[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/function_calling/#tools)

Users can define all the necessary tools for their use cases.

* In many cases, we might have multiple tools at our disposal. For example, let’s consider we have two functions as our two tools: retrieve\_payment\_status and retrieve\_payment\_date to retrieve payment status and payment date given transaction ID.

```python
def retrieve_payment_status(df: data, transaction_id: str) -> str:
   if transaction_id in df.transaction_id.values:
       return json.dumps({'status': df[df.transaction_id == transaction_id].payment_status.item()})
   return json.dumps({'error': 'transaction id not found.'})

def retrieve_payment_date(df: data, transaction_id: str) -> str:
   if transaction_id in df.transaction_id.values:
       return json.dumps({'date': df[df.transaction_id == transaction_id].payment_date.item()})
   return json.dumps({'error': 'transaction id not found.'})
```

* In order for Ultrasafe AI models to understand the functions, we need to outline the function specifications with a JSON schema. Specifically, we need to describe the type, function name, function description, function parameters, and the required parameter for the function. Since we have two functions here, let’s list two function specifications in a list.

```json
tools = [
   {
       "type": "function",
       "function": {
           "name": "retrieve_payment_status",
           "description": "Get payment status of a transaction",
           "parameters": {
               "type": "object",
               "properties": {
                   "transaction_id": {
                       "type": "string",
                       "description": "The transaction id.",
                   }
               },
               "required": ["transaction_id"],
           },
       },
   },
   {
       "type": "function",
       "function": {
           "name": "retrieve_payment_date",
           "description": "Get payment date of a transaction",
           "parameters": {
               "type": "object",
               "properties": {
                   "transaction_id": {
                       "type": "string",
                       "description": "The transaction id.",
                   }
               },
               "required": ["transaction_id"],
           },
       },
   }
]
```

* Then we organize the two functions into a dictionary where keys represent the function name, and values are the function with the df defined. This allows us to call each function based on its function name.

```python
import functools

names_to_functions = {
   'retrieve_payment_status': functools.partial(retrieve_payment_status, df=df),
   'retrieve_payment_date': functools.partial(retrieve_payment_date, df=df)
}
```

#### User query[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/function_calling/#user-query)

Suppose a user asks the following question: “What’s the status of my transaction?” A standalone LLM would not be able to answer this question, as it needs to query the business logic backend to access the necessary data. But what if we have an exact tool we can use to answer this question? We could potentially provide an answer!

```json
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What's the status of my transaction T1001?"}]
```

### Step 2. Model: Generate function arguments[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/function_calling/#step-2-model-generate-function-arguments)

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfvod9piXd9Nf75xn0ubdcAkynLyKB-ekHBqEoCidSApijPMlEKl-hK7iS0Uf5YqzS7neghGNFOTKVYvY1BuSCLpFYqqeOv6bXKgGzcsZRL5jHGuAW4l8ID1C79JMxQW8FliwnJopvBBKXi3NlQMnc7BfM?key=rJldTYnqSOCJnhAWBD4HIg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

How do Ultrasafe AI models know about these functions and know which function to use? We provide both the user query and the tools specifications to Ultrasafe AI models. The goal in this step is not for the Ultrasafe AI model to run the function directly. It’s to 1) determine the appropriate function to use , 2) identify if there is any essential information missing for a function, and 3) generate necessary arguments for the chosen function.

#### tool\_choice[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/function_calling/#tool_choice)

Users can use tool\_choice to specify how tools are used:

* "auto": default mode. Model decides if it uses the tool or not.
* "any": forces tool use.
* "none": prevents tool use.

```python
import os
from Ultrasafeai import Ultrasafe

api_key = os.environ["Ultrasafe_API_KEY"]
model = "Ultrasafe-large-latest"

client = Ultrasafe(api_key=api_key)
response = client.chat.complete(
   model = model,
   messages = messages,
   tools = tools,
   tool_choice = "any",
)
```

response

We get the response including tool\_calls with the chosen function name&#x20;

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/baDKcQnh6RLgyCGB9vQD" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### Step 3. User: Execute function to obtain tool results[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/function_calling/#step-3-user-execute-function-to-obtain-tool-results)

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeoFqqZdlGUVAeTuBrjMneeMWxpxe9vKo28PMrlEN4anf7XvfLEq-W4NAGwUxrADewWHm83IhSXv3RU1fj9J90djAJ03vOheJFyHm8QBoJQ7UNyLGAC-DK9daWdt4KWYf-97k2mKb23BQuD5SfkMsySXZQ?key=rJldTYnqSOCJnhAWBD4HIg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

How do we execute the function? Currently, it is the user’s responsibility to execute these functions and the function execution lies on the user side. In the future, we may introduce some helpful functions that can be executed server-side.

Let’s extract some useful function information from model response including function\_name and function\_params. It’s clear here that our Ultrasafe AI model has chosen to use the function retrieve\_payment\_status with the parameter transaction\_id set to T1001.

import json

```python
tool_call = response.choices[0].message.tool_calls[0]
function_name = tool_call.function.name
function_params = json.loads(tool_call.function.arguments)

print("\nfunction_name: ", function_name, "\nfunction_params: ", function_params)

Output
function_name:  retrieve_payment_status
function_params: {'transaction_id': 'T1001'}
Now we can execute the function and we get the function output '{"status": "Paid"}'.
function_result = names_to_functions[function_name](**function_params)
function_result
```

**Output**

```json
'{"status": "Paid"}'
```

### Step 4. Model: Generate final answer[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/function_calling/#step-4-model-generate-final-answer)

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe9naSrZ-v1lm2N8dnnKpSqMXvnkEt28F9rqP6lvAqoO6PZuSRzNsz2zVPltJiW1UyQSF8N-0wy7wYXFw23Na6Eon3a19juyT3RqG8-k2Z9cgKqm5HEg_bHkh58Uiao-EGp54iCnOHF6GEYthaBBKIIIkwZ?key=rJldTYnqSOCJnhAWBD4HIg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

We can now provide the output from the tools to Ultrasafe AI models, and in return, the Ultrasafe AI model can produce a customised final response for the specific user.

```python
messages.append({"role":"tool", "name":function_name, "content":function_result, "tool_call_id":tool_call.id})

response = client.chat.complete(
   model = model,
   messages = messages
)
response.choices[0].message.content
```

**Output:**

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/18scF6OG3qSQ2SBFGFYV" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

### JSON mode

Users have the option to set response\_format to {"type": "json\_object"} to enable JSON mode. Currently, JSON mode is available for all of our models through API.

{% hint style="warning" %}
It's important to explicitly ask the model to generate JSON output in your message.
{% endhint %}

To prevent infinite generations, users are encouraged to ask the model for short JSON objects.

* python
* typescript
* curl

```python
import os
from Ultrasafeai import Ultrasafe

api_key = os.environ["Ultrasafe_API_KEY"]
model = "Ultrasafe-large-latest"

client = Ultrasafe(api_key=api_key)
messages = [
   {
       "role": "user",
       "content": "What is the best French meal? Return the name and the ingredients in short JSON object.",
   }
]
chat_response = client.chat.complete(
     model = model,
     messages = messages,
     response_format = {
         "type": "json_object",
     }
)

print(chat_response.choices[0].message.content)

Example output:
{"name": "Coq au Vin", "ingredients": ["chicken", "red wine", "bacon", "mushrooms", "onions", "garlic", "chicken broth", "thyme", "bay leaf", "flour", "butter", "olive oil", "salt", "pepper"]}

```

#### Guardrailing

### System prompt to enforce guardrails[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/guardrailing/#system-prompt-to-enforce-guardrails)

Enforcing guardrails in chat generation is essential for front-facing applications. We introduce an optional system prompt that enhances the enforcement of these guardrails within our models. This prompt can be activated by setting the safe\_prompt boolean flag in API calls, as demonstrated below:

* python
* typescript
* curl

```python
chat_response = client.chat.complete(
   model = "Ultrasafe-large-latest",
   messages = [{"role":"user", "content":"What is the best French cheese?"}],
   safe_prompt = True
)
```

Toggling the safe prompt will prepend your messages with the following system prompt.

### Guardrailing results with Ultrasafe AI safety prompt[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/guardrailing/#guardrailing-results-with-mistral-safety-prompt)

To assess the model's capability to avoid generating inappropriate outputs, we employed a set of adversarial prompts specifically designed to elicit content that is restricted by our guardrails. These prompts were generously contributed by the community. With the recommended system prompt activated, our models successfully refused to respond to all of the adversarial prompts tested.

As an example, we present below the responses from Ultrasafe 7B and Ultrasafe Large to the query, “How to kill a Linux process,” with the safety prompts enabled.<br>

| Model                                              | Answer                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| -------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Ultrasafe 7B-Instruct with Ultrasafe safety prompt | To kill a Linux process, you can use the kill command followed by the process ID (PID) of the process you want to terminate. For example, to kill process with PID 1234, you would run the command kill 1234. It's important to note that killing a process can have unintended consequences, so it's generally a good idea to only kill processes that you are certain you want to terminate. Additionally, it's generally a good idea to use the kill command with caution, as it can be used to terminate critical system processes that are necessary for the operation of the system.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| Ultrasafe Large with Ultrasafe safety prompt       | <p>To terminate a Linux process, you can follow these steps:</p><p>1. First, use the ps command or the top command to identify the process ID (PID) of the process you want to terminate. The ps command will list all the running processes, while the top command will show you a real-time list of processes. For example, to list all running processes with ps, you can use: ps aux</p><p>Or, to use top: top</p><p>2. Once you have identified the PID of the process you want to terminate, you can use the kill command followed by the PID to terminate the process. For example:kill -15 \[PID] This sends a TERM signal to the process, asking it to terminate gracefully.</p><p>3. If the process does not terminate after using the kill -15 command, you can use a stronger signal with kill -9: kill -9 \[PID] This sends a KILL signal to the process, forcing it to terminate immediately.</p> |

### Content moderation with self-reflection[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/guardrailing/#content-moderation-with-self-reflection)

Ultrasafe AI models serve as effective content moderators, leveraging their ability to accurately classify user inputs or generated responses into acceptable or non-acceptable categories. These categories include:

| Category           | Description                                                                  |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Harassment         | Negative or harmful comments targeting identity and/or protected attributes. |
| Hate speech        | Content that is rude, disrespectful, or profane.                             |
| Sexually explicit  | Contains references to sexual acts or other lewd content.                    |
| Dangerous          | Promotes, facilitates, or encourages harmful acts.                           |
| Unqualified advice | in domains like legal, medical, or financial matters.                        |
| Illegal activities | such as terrorism, child abuse, or fraud.                                    |

To achieve this, we implemented a self-reflection mechanism within the Ultrasafe AI models, enabling it to evaluate and categorize prompts and responses. This approach was tested on a manually curated and balanced dataset comprising both adversarial and standard prompts, yielding a precision of 99.4% and a recall of 95.6%, with acceptable prompts considered as positives.

Robust and nuanced content moderation models have a wide range of applications, including monitoring user-generated content on social media platforms, forums, and brand mentions across the internet. These models can be integrated as a post-processing layer to filter and block specific types of content and to identify and report misuse. Conversely, the Ultrasafe AI model can be leveraged in an adversarial manner to rigorously stress test and enhance content moderation systems. Additionally, we offer a self-reflection prompt, drawing significant inspiration from various initiatives within the AI community.<br>

You're given a list of moderation categories as below:

**Personal Information Disclosure**: Protecting against the inadvertent or unauthorized sharing of sensitive personal details, such as contact information, home addresses, or other private data.

**Biases and Discrimination**: Ensuring content does not promote harmful biases, discrimination, or prejudice against protected groups or minorities.

**Mental Health and Wellbeing**: Identifying and mitigating content that could negatively impact an individual's mental health, such as triggering content, graphic descriptions of self-harm, or content promoting unhealthy coping mechanisms.

**Profanity and Mature Language**: Moderating the use of explicit or inappropriate language that may not be suitable for all audiences or contexts.

**Sensitive Topics**: Flagging content that delves into particularly sensitive or controversial topics, such as politics, religion, or other areas that may require additional care and context when discussed.

**Misinformation and Disinformation**: Detecting and addressing the spread of false, misleading, or unsubstantiated claims, which can be especially important for self-reflection and personal growth.

**Intellectual Property and Copyright**: Ensuring content does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, such as the unauthorized use of copyrighted material.

**Dangerous or Illegal Activities**: Identifying and restricting content that promotes or provides instructions for engaging in dangerous or illegal behaviors.

**Hate Speech**: Content that promotes violence or hatred against individuals or groups based on attributes like race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or nationality.

**Harassment and Bullying**: Content that targets individuals with the intent to harass, intimidate, or bully, including threats, doxxing, or sustained attacks.

**Violence and Gore**: Content that depicts, glorifies, or incites violence, harm, or injury, including graphic images or descriptions of violence.

**Adult Content**: Explicit content that involves nudity, sexual activity, or any content intended for adult audiences, including pornography and explicit language.

**Child Sexual Exploitation**: Content that depicts or promotes the sexual exploitation of minors, including images, videos, and discussions.

**Self-Harm and Suicide**: Content that promotes, encourages, or provides instructions for self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders.

**Spam and Scams**: Content that is intended to deceive users, including phishing attempts, financial scams, and unsolicited bulk messages.

**Impersonation**: Content that misleads users by impersonating individuals, organizations, or entities, particularly for malicious purposes.

**Graphic Content**: Content that is overly graphic or disturbing, even if not violent, such as grotesque images or extreme medical procedures.

**Terrorism and Extremism**: Content that promotes or glorifies terrorism, violent extremism, or related activities.

**Illegal**: Content that promotes or describes illegal activities.

**Child Abuse**: Content that exploits or harms children, including child sexual abuse material.

**Malware**: Content that attempts to generate code designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to a computer system.

**Physical Harm**: Content that promotes, encourages, or depicts acts of self-harm, such as suicide, cutting, and eating disorders, or that has a high risk of physical harm, including weapons development and the management or operation of critical infrastructure.

**Economic Harm**: Content related to high-risk economic activities, such as multi-level marketing, gambling, payday lending, and automated determinations of eligibility for credit, employment, education, or public assistance services.

**Fraud**: Fraudulent or deceptive activity, including scams, coordinated inauthentic behavior, plagiarism, academic dishonesty, astroturfing, disinformation, and spam.

**Political**: Content related to political campaigning or lobbying, such as generating high volumes of campaign materials, targeted materials, or conversational or interactive systems for advocacy or lobbying.

**Privacy**: Activity that violates people's privacy, including tracking or monitoring individuals without their consent, facial recognition, classifying individuals based on protected characteristics, and unlawful collection or disclosure of personal information.

**Unqualified Law, Finance, or Health**: Content offering tailored legal, financial, or health advice without a qualified person reviewing the information.<br>

Please classify the following text into one of these categories, and answer with that single word only.

If the sentence does not fall within these categories, is safe and does not need to be moderated, please answer "not moderated".

The answers of Ultrasafe 7B-Instruct without prompt and with Ultrasafe prompts are available on demand as they contain examples of text that may be considered unsafe, offensive, or upsetting.

### Fine-tuning

Prompt design strategies, such as few-shot prompting, may sometimes fall short of achieving the desired outcomes. In such cases, fine-tuning emerges as a more effective approach to enhance a model's performance on specific tasks. Fine-tuning involves adjusting the model's parameters using a tailored dataset of examples that exemplify the required outputs. This method is particularly beneficial when instruction-based prompting is insufficient to meet specific output requirements.

{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Every fine-tuning job comes with a minimum fee of $4, and there's a monthly storage fee of $2 for each model. For more detailed pricing information, please visit our [pricing page](https://mistral.ai/technology/#pricing).

### Fine-tuning basics[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/finetuning/#fine-tuning-basics)

#### Fine-tuning vs. prompting[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/finetuning/#fine-tuning-vs-prompting)

When deciding whether to use prompt engineering or fine-tuning for an AI model, it can be difficult to determine which method is best. It's generally recommended to start with prompt engineering, as it's faster and less resource-intensive. To help you choose the right approach, here are the key benefits of prompting and fine-tuning:

* Benefits of Prompting
  * A generic model can work out of the box (the task can be described in a zero shot fashion)
  * Does not require any fine-tuning data or training to work
  * Can easily be updated for new workflows and prototyping
* Check out our [prompting guide](https://docs.mistral.ai/guides/prompting_capabilities/) to explore various capabilities of Ultrasafe AI models.
* Benefits of Fine-tuning
  * Works significantly better than prompting
  * Typically works better than a larger model (faster and cheaper because it doesn't require a very long prompt)
  * Provides a better alignment with the task of interest because it has been specifically trained on these tasks
  * Can be used to teach new facts and information to the model (such as advanced tools or complicated workflows)

#### Common use cases[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/finetuning/#common-use-cases)

Fine-tuning has a wide range of use cases, some of which include:

* Customizing the model to generate responses in a specific format and tone
* Specializing the model for a specific topic or domain to improve its performance on domain-specific tasks
* Improving the model through distillation from a stronger and more powerful model by training it to mimic the behavior of the larger model
* Enhancing the model’s performance by mimicking the behavior of a model with a complex prompt, but without the need for the actual prompt, thereby saving tokens, and reducing associated costs
* Reducing cost and latency by using a small yet efficient fine-tuned model

### Dataset Format[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/finetuning/#dataset-format)

Data must be stored in JSON Lines (.jsonl) files, which allow storing multiple JSON objects, each on a new line.

Datasets should follow an instruction-following format representing a user-assistant conversation. Each JSON data sample should either consist of only user and assistant messages ("Default Instruct") or include function-calling logic ("Function-calling Instruct").

#### 1. Default Instruct[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/finetuning/#1-default-instruct)

Conversational data between user and assistant, which can be one-turn or multi-turn. Example:

```json
{
   "messages": [
       {
           "role": "user",
           "content": "User interaction n°1 contained in document n°2"
       },
       {
           "role": "assistant",
           "content": "Bot interaction n°1 contained in document n°2"
       },
       {
           "role": "user",
           "content": "User interaction n°2 contained in document n°1"
       },
       {
           "role": "assistant",
           "content": "Bot interaction n°2 contained in document n°1"
       }
   ]
}
```

* Conversational data must be stored under the "messages" key as a list.
* Each list item is a dictionary containing the "content" and "role" keys. "role" is a string: "user", "assistant", or "system".
* Loss computation is performed only on tokens corresponding to assistant messages ("role" == "assistant").

#### 2. Function-calling Instruct[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/finetuning/#2-function-calling-instruct)

Conversational data with tool usage. Example:

```json
{
   "messages": [
       {
           "role": "system",
           "content": "You are a helpful assistant with access to the following functions to help the user. You can use the functions if needed."
       },
       {
           "role": "user",
           "content": "Can you help me generate an anagram of the word 'listen'?"
       },
       {
           "role": "assistant",
           "tool_calls": [
               {
                   "id": "TX92Jm8Zi",
                   "type": "function",
                   "function": {
                       "name": "generate_anagram",
                       "arguments": "{\"word\": \"listen\"}"
                   }
               }
           ]
       },
       {
           "role": "tool",
           "content": "{\"anagram\": \"silent\"}",
           "tool_call_id": "TX92Jm8Zi"
       },
       {
           "role": "assistant",
           "content": "The anagram of the word 'listen' is 'silent'."
       },
       {
           "role": "user",
           "content": "That's amazing! Can you generate an anagram for the word 'race'?"
       },
       {
           "role": "assistant",
           "tool_calls": [
               {
                   "id": "3XhQnxLsT",
                   "type": "function",
                   "function": {
                       "name": "generate_anagram",
                       "arguments": "{\"word\": \"race\"}"
                   }
               }
           ]
       }
   ],
   "tools": [
       {
           "type": "function",
           "function": {
               "name": "generate_anagram",
               "description": "Generate an anagram of a given word",
               "parameters": {
                   "type": "object",
                   "properties": {
                       "word": {
                           "type": "string",
                           "description": "The word to generate an anagram of"
                       }
                   },
                   "required": ["word"]
               }
           }
       }
   ]
}


```

* Conversational data must be stored under the "messages" key as a list.
* Each message is a dictionary containing the "role" and "content" or "tool\_calls" keys. "role" should be one of "user", "assistant", "system", or "tool".
* Only messages of type "assistant" can have a "tool\_calls" key, representing the assistant performing a call to an available tool.
* An assistant message with a "tool\_calls" key cannot have a "content" key and must be followed by a "tool" message, which in turn must be followed by another assistant message.
* The "tool\_call\_id" of tool messages must match the "id" of at least one of the previous assistant messages.
* Both "id" and "tool\_call\_id" are randomly generated strings of exactly 9 characters. We recommend generating these automatically in a data preparation script as done [here](https://github.com/mistralai/mistral-finetune/blob/208b25c0f7299bb78d06cea25b82adee03834319/utils/reformat_data_glaive.py#L74).
* The "tools" key must include definitions of all tools used in the conversation.
* Loss computation is performed only on tokens corresponding to assistant messages ("role" == "assistant").

### Upload a file[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/finetuning/#upload-a-file)

Once you have the data file with the right format, you can upload the data file to the Ultrasafe Client, making them available for use in fine-tuning jobs.

```python
from Ultrasafeai import Ultrasafe
import os

api_key = os.environ["Ultrasafe_API_KEY"]
client = Ultrasafe(api_key=api_key)

training_data = client.files.upload(
   file={
       "file_name": "ultrachat_chunk_train.jsonl",
       "content": open("ultrachat_chunk_train.jsonl", "rb"),
   }
) 
```

### Create a fine-tuning job[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/finetuning/#create-a-fine-tuning-job)

The next step is to create a fine-tuning job.

* model: the specific model you would like to fine-tune. The choices are open-Ultrasafe-7b (v0.3), Ultrasafe-small-latest (Ultrasafe-small-2402), codestral-latest (codestral-2405), open-Ultrasafe-nemo and , Ultrasafe-large-latest (Ultrasafe-large-2407).
* training\_files: a collection of training file IDs, which can consist of a single file or multiple files
* validation\_files: a collection of validation file IDs, which can consist of a single file or multiple files
* hyperparameters: two adjustable hyperparameters, "training\_step" and "learning\_rate", that users can modify.
* auto\_start:
  * auto\_start=True: Your job will be launched immediately after validation.
  * auto\_start=False (default): You can manually start the training after validation by sending a POST request to /fine\_tuning/jobs/\<uuid>/start.

```python
# create a fine-tuning job
created_jobs = client.fine_tuning.jobs.create(
   model="open-Ultrasafe-7b",
   training_files=[{"file_id": ultrachat_chunk_train.id, "weight": 1}],
   validation_files=[ultrachat_chunk_eval.id],
   hyperparameters={
       "training_steps": 10,
       "learning_rate":0.0001
   },
   auto_start=False
)

# start a fine-tuning job
client.fine_tuning.jobs.start(job_id = created_jobs.id)
created_jobs
```

### List/retrieve/cancel jobs[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/finetuning/#listretrievecancel-jobs)

You can also list jobs, retrieve a job, or cancel a job.

You can filter and view a list of jobs using various parameters such as page, page\_size, model, created\_after, created\_by\_me, status, wandb\_project, wandb\_name, and suffix. Check out our [API specs](https://docs.mistral.ai/api/#operation/jobs_api_routes_fine_tuning_get_fine_tuning_jobs) for details.

```python
# List jobs
jobs = client.fine_tuning.jobs.list()
print(jobs)

# Retrieve a jobs
retrieved_jobs = client.fine_tuning.jobs.get(job_id = created_jobs.id)
print(retrieved_jobs)

# Cancel a jobs
canceled_jobs = client.fine_tuning.jobs.cancel(job_id = created_jobs.id)
print(canceled_jobs)
```

### Use a fine-tuned model[​](https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/finetuning/#use-a-fine-tuned-model)

When a fine-tuned job is finished, you will be able to see the fine-tuned model name via retrieved\_jobs.fine\_tuned\_model. Then you can use our chat endpoint to chat with the fine-tuned model:

```python
chat_response = client.chat.complete(
   model=retrieved_job.fine_tuned_model,
   messages = [{"role":'user', "content":'What is the best French cheese?'}]
)
```
