<Tip>  
`InferenceClient.chat.completions.create` is simply an alias for `InferenceClient.chat_completion`. Check out the package reference of [`~InferenceClient.chat_completion`] for more details. `base_url` and `api_key` parameters when instantiating the client are also aliases for `model` and `token`. These aliases have been defined to reduce friction when switching from `OpenAI` to `InferenceClient`.
