README

merlin-node

merlin-node is a Node.js client package for easy interaction with the Merlin APIs, allowing users to access various machine learning models for vision and language tasks. This README will guide you through installation, configuration, and usage of merlin-node.

Installation

To install the merlin-node package, run the following command in your terminal:

npm install merlin-node --save

or if you prefer using yarn:

yarn add merlin-node

Configuration

Before using merlin-node, you need to set up your API key provided by Merlin APIs. This key is necessary for authentication and authorizing your requests.

import { Merlin } from 'merlin-node';

const apiKey = '<API_KEY>'; // Replace with your API key
const merlin = new Merlin({ merlinConfig: { apiKey: apiKey } });

Vision Based Models

To use vision-based models like Leonardo and DALL-E with merlin-node, you can follow the given example to generate images from textual descriptions:

import { Merlin } from 'merlin-node';

const merlin = new Merlin({ merlinConfig: { apiKey: '<API_KEY>' } });

async function generateImage() {
  try {
    const response = await merlin.images.generate({
      prompt: 'This is a picture of a dog',
      model: 'dall-e-2', // or 'leonardo' for the Leonardo model
      size: '256x256',
      response_format: 'b64_json',
    });

    console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error generating image:', error);
  }
}

generateImage();

This code sets up a function to request the generation of an image based on the specified prompt, model, and size.

Language Models

For language models like OpenAI, Mistral, Gemini, Anthropic, etc., merlin-node offers a simple interface as showcased below:

import { Merlin } from 'merlin-node';

const merlin = new Merlin({ merlinConfig: { apiKey: 'MERLIN_API_KEY_HERE' } });

async function createCompletion() {
  try {
    const completion = await merlin.chat.completions.create({
      messages: [{ role: 'system', content: 'You are a helpful assistant.' }],
      model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo', // Adjust model as needed
    });

    console.log(completion.choices[0]);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error creating completion:', error);
  }
}

createCompletion();

This snippet demonstrates how to send a system message and obtain a completion from the specified language model.
