# Instructor with open source models
Instructor works with Open source model providers that support the [OpenAI API chat endpoint](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat)

See examples README [here](https://github.com/jxnl/instructor/tree/main/examples/open_source_examples)

# Currently tested open source model providers
- [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai/)
- [Perplexity](https://www.perplexity.ai/)
- [RunPod TheBloke LLMs](https://github.com/TheBlokeAI/dockerLLM/blob/main/README_Runpod_LocalLLMsUI.md) **


** This utilizes text-generation-webui w/ Openai plugin under the hood.
