'''

This is an example on how to use the API for oobabooga/text-generation-webui.

Make sure to start the web UI with the following flags:

python server.py --model MODEL --listen --no-stream

Optionally, you can also add the --share flag to generate a public gradio URL,
allowing you to use the API remotely.
