Error message when trying to use watsonx.ai #324

Closed Max-Jesch closed 6 months ago

Context

I spent a few hours trying to get this SDK to work with watsonx.ai. With the help of @Tomas2D I found out that this is not supported. It would have been super helpful to get a proper error message that tells me that based on the "GENAI_API" that I provided

Alternatives

It would also be useful to be very clear about this in the documentation. The current documentation led me to believe this should be compatible with watsonx.ai

Tomas2D commented 6 months ago

The information that the SDK is incompatible with watsonx.ai is mentioned at the very beginning of our README.

This is not the watsonx.ai Python SDK. This is the Python SDK for the Tech Preview program for IBM Foundation Models Studio. This SDK brings IBM Generative AI (GenAI) into Python programs and provides useful operations and types.
