### Non-streaming

```python showLineNumbers title="NanoGPT Non-streaming Completion"
import os
import litellm
from litellm import completion

os.environ["NANOGPT_API_KEY"] = ""  # your NanoGPT API key

messages = [{"content": "What is the capital of France?", "role": "user"}]

# NanoGPT call
response = completion(
    model="nano-gpt/model-name",  # Replace with actual model name
    messages=messages
)

print(response)
```

### Streaming

```python showLineNumbers title="NanoGPT Streaming Completion"
import os
import litellm
from litellm import completion

os.environ["NANOGPT_API_KEY"] = ""  # your NanoGPT API key

messages = [{"content": "Write a short poem about AI", "role": "user"}]

# NanoGPT call with streaming
response = completion(
    model="nano-gpt/model-name",  # Replace with actual model name
    messages=messages,
    stream=True
)

for chunk in response:
    print(chunk)
```

### Tool Calling

```python showLineNumbers title="NanoGPT Tool Calling"
import os
import litellm

os.environ["NANOGPT_API_KEY"] = ""

tools = [

        "function": {
            "name": "get_weather",
            "description": "Get current weather",
            "parameters": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {
                    "location": {"type": "string"}
                }
            }
        }
    }
]

response = litellm.completion(
