import os from zai import ZAI client = ZAI(api_key=os.environ.get('ZAI_API_KEY', '')) response = client.chat.completions.create( model="zai-gpt-4o", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}] ) print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe package name on PyPI is 'zai-sdk' but the import is 'from zai'. Do not use 'import zai_sdk'.

fix

Use pip install zai-sdk, then from zai import ZAI

affects: ALL

breakingVersion 0.2.x changed the client initialization signature. Old code used ZAI() with no arguments, now requires api_key parameter.

fix

Pass api_key to ZAI(api_key='your_key')

affects: <0.2.0

deprecatedThe method 'client.complete()' is deprecated in favor of 'client.chat.completions.create()'.

fix

Use client.chat.completions.create(model=..., messages=...)

affects: >=0.2.0
