SHARCNET Brine examples

Small demo scripts for the SHARCNET Brine OpenAI-compatible API.

Each script does two things:

1. Lists available models with GET /models.
2. Asks the Gemma model: "In two sentences, explain what high performance computing is."

Set your access details

Either edit the variables near the top of each script, or export them in your shell:

export BRINE_BASE_URL="https://brine.example.org/v1"
export BRINE_API_KEY="paste-your-access-key-here"
export BRINE_MODEL="gemma-4-31B-it"

BRINE_MODEL is optional. The default is gemma-4-31B-it.

Run the examples

curl

cd curl
./list-models-and-ask-gemma.sh

Python

cd python
uv run --with requests list_models_and_ask_gemma.py

JavaScript

Requires Node.js 18+.

cd javascript
node list-models-and-ask-gemma.mjs

Notes

• Treat BRINE_API_KEY as a secret.
• Do not submit Sensitive Data to SHARCNET Brine during the pilot.
