# Cerebras OpenAI Tool Use

> Call WebSearchTools from a CerebrasOpenAI agent in sync and async modes.

> [!WARNING]
>
> This example uses a Cerebras model ID that has been retired. Replace the retired ID with `gpt-oss-120b` before running. Review the [Cerebras migration notes](https://inference-docs.cerebras.ai/support/deprecation) when the example uses reasoning, tools, or structured output.

## Run the Example

<Snippet file="create-venv-step.mdx" />

**1. Install dependencies**

```bash theme={null}
uv pip install -U agno cerebras-cloud-sdk ddgs openai
```

**2. Export your Cerebras OpenAI-compatible API key**

```bash Mac/Linux theme={null}

```

```bash Windows theme={null}
$Env:CEREBRAS_API_KEY="your_cerebras_api_key_here"
```

**3. Use a current Cerebras model**

Replace `llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct` with `gpt-oss-120b` in the saved Python file before running.
