Arcee AI
Use this skill when integrating with Arcee AI as a model provider. Covers API setup, authentication, model selection, and best practices for production use.
When it applies
- Setting up Arcee AI API credentials and SDK
- Choosing the right model from Arcee AI's offerings
- Handling rate limits, retries, and error responses
- Optimizing cost and latency with Arcee AI
- Streaming responses and tool use with Arcee AI
Quick start
# Install the SDK (example — adapt to the provider's actual package)
npm install @arcee-ai/sdk
import { ArceeAIClient } from "@arcee-ai/sdk";
const client = new ArceeAIClient({
apiKey: process.env.ARCEE_AI_API_KEY,
});
Model selection
Arcee AI offers models across capability tiers. Choose based on your use case:
| Use case | Recommended model |
|---|---|
| General chat | Check Arcee AI's latest flagship model |
| Code generation | Look for code-tuned variants |
| Fast inference | Use smaller/distilled models |
| Long context | Check context window limits |
Best practices
- Rate limits: Respect Arcee AI's published RPM/TPM limits; implement exponential backoff.
- Streaming: Use streaming for interactive UIs to reduce time-to-first-token.
- Cost control: Cache responses where possible; use shorter prompts with system instructions.
- Error handling: Map Arcee AI's error codes to user-friendly messages; never leak API keys client-side.
