Foundry Local C# SDK

Installation

To use the Foundry Local C# SDK, you need to install the NuGet package:

dotnet add package Microsoft.AI.Foundry.Local

Building from source

To build the SDK, run the following command in your terminal:

cd sdk/cs
dotnet build

You can also load FoundryLocal.sln in Visual Studio 2022 or VSCode. Update your nuget.config to include the local path to the generated NuGet package:

<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="foundry-local" value="C:\path\to\foundry-local\sdk\cs\bin\Debug" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration>

Then, install the package using the following command:

dotnet add package FoundryLocal --source foundry-local

Usage

For this example, you'll need the OpenAI Nuget package installed as well:

dotnet add package OpenAI

using Microsoft.AI.Foundry.Local;
using OpenAI;
using OpenAI.Chat;
using System.ClientModel;
using System.Diagnostics.Metrics;

var alias = "phi-3.5-mini";

var manager = await FoundryLocalManager.StartModelAsync(aliasOrModelId: alias);

var model = await manager.GetModelInfoAsync(aliasOrModelId: alias);
ApiKeyCredential key = new ApiKeyCredential(manager.ApiKey);
OpenAIClient client = new OpenAIClient(key, new OpenAIClientOptions
{
    Endpoint = manager.Endpoint
});

var chatClient = client.GetChatClient(model?.ModelId);

var completionUpdates = chatClient.CompleteChatStreaming("Why is the sky blue'");

Console.Write($"[ASSISTANT]: ");
foreach (var completionUpdate in completionUpdates)
{
    if (completionUpdate.ContentUpdate.Count > 0)
    {
        Console.Write(completionUpdate.ContentUpdate[0].Text);
    }
}
