import os
from fractalai import FractalAI

# Initialize the client
client = FractalAI(
    api_key=os.environ.get("FRACTAL_API_KEY")
)

# Create a chat completion
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="fractal-hyperbolic-v1",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "system",
            "content": "You are a helpful assistant."
        },
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "What is the golden ratio?"
        }
    ]
)

# Print the response
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

# Access fractal metrics
print(f"Quality Score: {response.fractal_metrics.quality_score}")
print(f"Hausdorff Dimension: {response.fractal_metrics.hausdorff_dimension}")

Expected Output
