import os from dotenv import load\_dotenv load\_dotenv() os.environ[“OPENAI\_API\_KEY”] = os.getenv(“OPENAI\_API\_KEY”) os.environ[“temperature”] = “0.0” os.environ[“top\_p”] = “0.1” In the agent settings, set llm = ‘gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18’ Is this setup correct for the API key and parameters like temperature and top\_p? ---

Oh okay, wait for the good news. Thank you so much. I will stick with the older version of Crewai for setting parameters for a while. 🙏 ---

this seems to work for gemini but you have to install google.generativeai and I am going to try the same with openai. self.gemini\_flash = genai.GenerativeModel(model\_name=“gemini/gemini-1.5-flash”, generation\_config = genai.GenerationConfig(max\_output\_tokens=8000,temperature=0.3)) ---

I think there is a way to do this by editing the LiteLLM yaml files but not sure about the conditions to do it. anyone a LiteLLM expert here. this is getting crazy. ---

Upgrade to latest version 0.61.3 then you can do this ```auto llm = LLM( model="gpt-4", temperature=0.8, max_tokens=150, top_p=0.9, frequency_penalty=0.1, presence_penalty=0.1, stop=["END"], seed=42, base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1", api_key="your-api-key-here" ) agent = Agent(llm=llm, ...) ``` Obviously change base url, api and model to your needs And remove what ever parameters you do not need > **[Large Language Models (LLMs) in crewAI - crewAI](https://docs.crewai.com/core-concepts/LLMs/#key-concepts)** > > Cutting-edge framework for orchestrating role-playing, autonomous AI agents.

@matt this seems to work fine other than for gemini models. ---

May I ask, as I’m a bit confused, whether `base_url` is optional or required in the following code? from dotenv import load\_dotenv import os from crewai import LLM load\_dotenv() gpt4omini = LLM( model=“gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18”, temperature=0.0, top\_p=0.1, api\_key=os.getenv(“OPENAI\_API\_KEY”) ) Thank you so much for your help. 🙏 ---

You do not need to set it for OpenAI, you only need to set your API key ---
