[InferenceSnippets] Add endpointUrl option (#1521)

Wauplin · web-flow · commit 62137bda4c63 · 2025-06-10T17:58:03.000+02:00
Add an option to pass a custom endpoint URL for inference snippets generation. ```ts snippets.getInferenceSnippets( model, selectedProvider, { hfModelId: ..., providerId: ..., status: "live", task: pipeline, }, { streaming, endpointURL: "http://localhost:8080/v1", } ) ``` cc @gary149
