# AI21

> Integrate AI21 models with Prisma AIRS AI Gateway

The AI Gateway provides a robust and secure gateway to integrate various Large Language Models (LLMs) into applications, including [AI21's models](https://ai21.com).

With the AI Gateway, take advantage of features like fast AI gateway access, observability, and more, while securely managing API keys through [Model Catalog](https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/aigw/product/model-catalog.md).

## Quick Start

Get AI21 working in 3 steps:

```sh cURL icon="square-terminal" theme={"system"}
# 1. Add @ai21 provider in model catalog
# 2. Use it:

curl https://aigw.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "@ai21/jamba-1-5-large",
    "messages": [
      { "role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test" }
    ]
  }'
```

```python OpenAI Py icon="python" theme={"system"}
from openai import OpenAI

# 1. Install: pip install openai
# 2. Add @ai21 provider in model catalog
# 3. Use it:

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # AI Gateway API key
    base_url="https://aigw.portkey.ai/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="@ai21/jamba-1-5-large",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test"}]
)

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

```js OpenAI JS icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
import OpenAI from "openai"

// 1. Install: npm install openai
// 2. Add @ai21 provider in model catalog
// 3. Use it:

const client = new OpenAI({
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",  // AI Gateway API key
    baseURL: "https://aigw.portkey.ai/v1"
})

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
    model: "@ai21/jamba-1-5-large",
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Say this is a test" }]
})

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Tip:** You can also send `x-portkey-provider: @ai21` as a header and use just `model="jamba-1-5-large"` in the request.

## Add Provider in Model Catalog

1. Go to [**Model Catalog → Add Provider**](https://stratacloudmanager.paloaltonetworks.com/)
2. Select **AI21**
3. Choose existing credentials or create new by entering your [AI21 API key](https://studio.ai21.com/account/api-key)
4. Name your provider (e.g., `ai21-prod`)
