  Inference.net exposes an OpenAI-compatible API and recommends the standard OpenAI
  SDKs (Python `openai`, Node `openai`) as the client libraries — these are
  third-party, not first-party. The one first-party published package is the
  Inference CLI (`inf`). No dedicated first-party server SDK was found on npm/PyPI.
