repo\_id=“mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3”

llm=HuggingFaceEndpoint(repo\_id=repo\_id,max\_length=150,temperature=0.7,token=os.getenv(“HF\_TOKEN”))

llm.invoke(“What is machine learning”)

error :  
TypeError: InferenceClient.text\_generation() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘max\_length’

Try:

```py
#llm=HuggingFaceEndpoint(repo_id=repo_id,max_length=150,temperature=0.7,token=os.getenv("HF_TOKEN"))
llm=HuggingFaceEndpoint(repo_id=repo_id,max_new_tokens=150,temperature=0.7,token=os.getenv("HF_TOKEN"))

```
