Lab 03: LLM API Integration — Streaming, Tool Use, Structured Output

Objective

Master production LLM API integration: streaming responses, function calling with tool orchestration, structured JSON output with Pydantic validation, retry logic, and cost monitoring — using mock APIs compatible with any provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini).

Time: 55 minutes | Level: Advanced | Docker Image: zchencow/innozverse-ai:latest

---

Background

Calling an LLM API in production requires far more than response = client.chat(prompt):

Naive:        response = openai.chat(messages)
Production:   streaming + retry + timeout + cost tracking + 
              structured output + tool use + error handling
