# SiliconFlow

> Use SiliconFlow models with Agno agents.

Siliconflow is a platform for providing endpoints for Large Language models.

Explore Siliconflow’s models [here](https://siliconflow.ai/models).

## Authentication

Set your `SILICONFLOW_API_KEY` environment variable. Get your key [from Siliconflow here](https://siliconflow.ai).

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Mac theme={null}
  export SILICONFLOW_API_KEY=***
  ```

  ```bash Windows theme={null}
  setx SILICONFLOW_API_KEY ***
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Example

Use `Siliconflow` with your `Agent`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python agent.py theme={null}
  from agno.agent import Agent
  from agno.models.siliconflow import Siliconflow

  agent = Agent(model=Siliconflow(), markdown=True)

  # Print the response in the terminal
  agent.print_response("Share a 2 sentence horror story")

  ```
</CodeGroup>
