hf_token = “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”

# Initialize the client with your token

client = InferenceClient(token=hf_token)

completion = client.chat.completions.create(

model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324",

messages=\[

{

“role”: “user”,

“content”: “How many 'G’s in ‘huggingface’?”

}

],

)

# The expected answer is two 'G’s.

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