# GPT-4

> Call OpenAI GPT-4 via OpenAI-compatible interface — powerful, reliable, ideal for complex tasks.

GPT-4 is OpenAI's large multimodal model, available through Starrise AI via OpenAI-compatible interface. It excels at complex reasoning, coding, writing, and analysis tasks.

## Key Capabilities

* **OpenAI-compatible** — Drop-in replacement for the OpenAI SDK, no other code changes needed
* **Long context** — Supports large document processing and multi-turn conversations
* **Streaming** — Real-time token streaming via SSE
* **Strong reasoning** — Ideal for complex multi-step tasks

## Quick Example

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl https://ai.alad.com/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "model": "gpt-4",
      "messages": [
        { "role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum entanglement in simple terms." }
      ]
    }'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  from openai import OpenAI

  client = OpenAI(
      api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
      base_url="https://ai.alad.com/v1"
  )

  response = client.chat.completions.create(
      model="gpt-4",
      messages=[
          {"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum entanglement in simple terms."}
      ]
  )

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

  ```python Streaming theme={null}
  from openai import OpenAI

  client = OpenAI(
      api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
      base_url="https://ai.alad.com/v1"
  )

  stream = client.chat.completions.create(
      model="gpt-4",
      messages=[
          {"role": "user", "content": "Write a short poem about the ocean."}
      ],
      stream=True
  )

  for chunk in stream:
      print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="")
  ```
