9a261aec5f* Studio: add API key authentication for programmatic access External users want to hit the Studio API (chat completions with tool calling, training, export, etc.) without going through the browser login flow. This adds sk-unsloth- prefixed API keys that work as a drop-in replacement for JWTs in the Authorization: Bearer header. Backend: - New api_keys table in SQLite (storage.py) - create/list/revoke/validate functions with SHA-256 hashed storage - API key detection in _get_current_subject before the JWT path - POST/GET/DELETE /api/auth/api-keys endpoints on the auth router Frontend: - /api-keys page with create form, one-time key reveal, keys table - API Keys link in desktop and mobile navbar - Route registered with requireAuth guard Zero changes to any existing route handler -- every endpoint that uses Depends(get_current_subject) automatically works with API keys. * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * Use actual origin in API key usage examples The examples on /api-keys were hardcoded to localhost:8888 which is wrong for remote users. Use window.location.origin so the examples show the correct URL regardless of where the user is connecting from. * Add `unsloth studio run` CLI command for one-liner model serving Adds a `run` subcommand that starts Studio, loads a model, creates an API key, and prints a ready-to-use curl command -- similar to `ollama run` or `vllm serve`. Usage: unsloth studio run -m unsloth/Qwen3-1.7B-GGUF --gguf-variant UD-Q4_K_XL * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * Add end-to-end tests for `unsloth studio run` and API key usage Tests the 4 usage examples from the API Keys page: 1. curl basic (non-streaming) chat completions 2. curl streaming (SSE) chat completions 3. OpenAI Python SDK streaming completions 4. curl with tools (web_search + python) Also tests --help output, invalid key rejection, and no-key rejection. All 7 tests pass against Qwen3-1.7B-GGUF. * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * Add /v1/completions, /v1/embeddings, /v1/responses endpoints and --parallel support - llama_cpp.py: accept n_parallel param, pass to llama-server --parallel - run.py: plumb llama_parallel_slots through to app.state - inference.py: add /completions and /embeddings as transparent proxies to llama-server, add /responses as application-level endpoint that converts to ChatCompletionRequest; thread n_parallel through load_model - studio.py: set llama_parallel_slots=4 for `unsloth studio run` path * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * Make /v1/responses endpoint match OpenAI Responses API format The existing /v1/responses shim returned Chat Completions format, which broke OpenAI SDK clients using openai.responses.create(). This commit replaces the endpoint with a proper implementation that: - Returns `output` array with `output_text` content parts instead of `choices` with `message` - Uses `input_tokens`/`output_tokens` instead of `prompt_tokens`/ `completion_tokens` in usage - Sets `object: "response"` and `id: "resp_..."` - Emits named SSE events for streaming (response.created, response.output_text.delta, response.completed, etc.) - Accepts all OpenAI Responses API fields (tools, store, metadata, previous_response_id) without erroring -- silently ignored - Maps `developer` role to `system` and `input_text`/`input_image` content parts to the internal Chat format Adds Pydantic schemas for request/response models and 23 unit tests covering schema validation, input normalisation, and response format. * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * Studio: add Anthropic-compatible /v1/messages endpoint (#4981) * Add Anthropic-compatible /v1/messages endpoint with tool support Translate Anthropic Messages API format to/from internal OpenAI format and reuse the existing server-side agentic tool loop. Supports streaming SSE (message_start, content_block_delta, etc.) and non-streaming JSON. Includes offline unit tests and e2e tests in test_studio_run.py. * Add enable_tools, enabled_tools, session_id to /v1/messages endpoint Support the same shorthand as /v1/chat/completions: enable_tools=true with an optional enabled_tools list uses built-in server tools without requiring full Anthropic tool definitions. session_id is passed through for sandbox isolation. max_tokens is now optional. * Strip leaked tool-call XML from Anthropic endpoint content Apply _TOOL_XML_RE to content events in both streaming and non-streaming tool paths, matching the OpenAI endpoint behavior. * Emit custom tool_result SSE event in Anthropic stream Adds a non-standard tool_result event between the tool_use block close and the next text block, so clients can see server-side tool execution results. Anthropic SDKs ignore unknown event types. * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * Split /v1/messages into server-side and client-side tool paths enable_tools=true runs the existing server-side agentic loop with built-in tools (web_search/python/terminal). A bare tools=[...] field now triggers a client-side pass-through: client-provided tools are forwarded to llama-server and any tool_use output is returned to the caller with stop_reason=tool_use for client execution. This fixes Claude Code (and any Anthropic SDK client) which sends tools=[...] expecting client-side execution but was previously routed through execute_tool() and failing with 'Unknown tool'. Adds AnthropicPassthroughEmitter to convert llama-server OpenAI SSE chunks into Anthropic SSE events, plus unit tests covering text blocks, tool_use blocks, mixed, stop reasons, and usage. * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * Fix httpcore GeneratorExit in /v1/messages passthrough stream Explicitly aclose aiter_lines() before the surrounding async with blocks unwind, mirroring the prior fix in external_provider.py ( |

Run and train AI models with a unified local interface.
Features • Quickstart • Notebooks • Documentation • Reddit
Unsloth Studio (Beta) lets you run and train text, audio, embedding, vision models on Windows, Linux and macOS.
⭐ Features
Unsloth provides several key features for both inference and training:
Inference
- Search + download + run models including GGUF, LoRA adapters, safetensors
- Export models: Save or export models to GGUF, 16-bit safetensors and other formats.
- Tool calling: Support for self-healing tool calling and web search
- Code execution: lets LLMs test code in Claude artifacts and sandbox environments
- Auto-tune inference parameters and customize chat templates.
- We work directly with teams behind gpt-oss, Qwen3, Llama 4, Mistral, Gemma 1-3, and Phi-4, where we’ve fixed bugs that improve model accuracy.
