Before building an agent that uses an OpenAI model, you’ll need to create an OpenAI developer account and get an API key.

​
Configuration

​
name
OpenAiModel
The name of the OpenAI model you want your agent to use. By default, your agent will use gpt-4o-mini.
​
secret
string
The name of the secret which contains your OpenAI API key. NOTE: This is the name of the secret, not your actual secret key!

​
Creating the Model

Calling openai() with no arguments will use all default values: 
import { Agent, openai } from '@ardent-ai/sdk';

const agent = new Agent({
  model: openai()
});
Passing a single string argument will set the model name: 
import { Agent, openai } from '@ardent-ai/sdk';

const agent = new Agent({
  model: openai('gpt-4.5-preview')
});
Or, you can set every parameter by passing a configuration object: 
import { Agent, openai } from '@ardent-ai/sdk';

const agent = new Agent({
  model: openai({
    name: 'gpt-4.5-preview',
    secret: 'MY_CUSTOM_OPENAI_SECRET_NAME'
  })
});
