import os

model = AlephAlphaModel(
    AlephAlphaClient(host="https://api.aleph-alpha.com", token=os.getenv("AA_TOKEN")),
    # You need to choose a model with qa support for this example.
    model_name = "luminous-extended"

prompt = "In imperative programming, a computer program is a sequence of instructions in a programming language that a computer can execute or interpret."
document = Document.from_text(prompt)

2.2.2

What's Changed

2.2.2

• Document hosting parameter.
• The hosting parameter determines in which datacenters the request may be processed.
• Currently, we only support setting it to "aleph-alpha", which allows us to only process the request in our own datacenters.
• Not setting this value, or setting it to null, allows us to process the request in both our own as well as external datacenters.
