Overview
The process of sending a structured chat conversation to a language model API and receiving a complete response in a single synchronous HTTP round-trip.
Description
Chat Request Execution is the core operation in any chat completion workflow. It takes a list of conversation messages and model configuration parameters, sends them as an HTTP POST request to the language model endpoint, and returns a structured completion response. This is the synchronous (non-streaming) variant where the entire response is generated server-side before being returned.
Key aspects include:
- Model selection: Choosing the LLM to generate the completion (e.g., llama-3.3-70b-versatile)
- Generation parameters: Controlling output via temperature, max_tokens, top_p, stop sequences
- Response format: Requesting JSON mode or structured output schemas
- Tool calling: Providing tool/function definitions for agentic workflows
Usage
Use this principle when you need a complete response before proceeding (non-streaming). This is the standard approach for server-side processing, batch operations, or any workflow where partial responses are not useful. For real-time token-by-token delivery, use Streaming Request Execution instead.
Theoretical Basis
The synchronous chat completion follows a request-response pattern:
# Abstract synchronous completion algorithm
request = build_request(
messages=conversation_history,
model=selected_model,
parameters=generation_config
)
response = http_post(endpoint="/chat/completions", body=request)
completion = parse_response(response)
# completion.choices[0].message.content contains the generated text
The API implements autoregressive text generation: the model generates tokens one at a time, each conditioned on all previous tokens plus the input context. In synchronous mode, generation completes fully before the response is sent.
