This page covers the shortest serverless-first path to a working request. If tm is not already on your PATH, install the CLI first with Installation. The commands below assume tm is on your PATH. If you are running from this repo checkout without activating a shell that already exposes tm, use ./.venv/bin/tm.

Fastest Serverless Request

Choose this when you already have both:
  • an inference API key
  • a valid serverless model name for your target host
You do not need Control Plane login for this path:
tm version
tm infer chat \
  --api-key YOUR_INFERENCE_API_KEY \
  --model YOUR_SERVERLESS_MODEL_NAME \
  --json '[{"role":"user","content":"Say hello."}]'
If you do not already know the model name to use, start with tm billing pricing serverless list. That discovery command requires tm auth login for the same Tensormesh environment.

Standard CLI Setup

When you want a guided local setup before sending requests:
tm version
tm auth login
tm config init
tm auth status
tm config show --sources
tm infer doctor
tm auth whoami
Put your inference API key under [overrides] in ~/.config/tensormesh/config.toml (or $TM_CONFIG_HOME/config.toml when that env var is set):
[overrides]
gateway_api_key = "..."
When you are targeting a different Control Plane host, run the same explicit --controlplane-base once so the active config.toml persists that host for later Control Plane-assisted flows. For automation or CI, add --exit-status to readiness checks so they fail the shell when required prerequisites are still missing:
tm infer doctor --exit-status
tm auth status --exit-status

Understand The Readiness Commands

Use the readiness commands like this:
  • tm auth status: local Control Plane and inference credential presence
  • tm infer doctor: local readiness for the next inference request
  • tm doctor: broader local config and credential diagnosis across CLI setup
  • tm auth whoami: live Control Plane auth check
tm auth status, tm infer doctor, and tm doctor are local checks. They do not prove that a live API call will succeed. After the local checks look good, use tm auth whoami as the explicit live validation step for your current Control Plane login.

What tm init Helps You Check

  • whether the current config file exists
  • whether Control Plane login is ready
  • whether inference API key is present
  • the exact next commands to finish setup
