autogen.ModelClient

ModelClient

ModelClient(*args, **kwargs)

A client class must implement the following methods:
- create must return a response object that implements the ModelClientResponseProtocol

• cost must return the cost of the response
• get_usage must return a dict with the following keys:
  - prompt_tokens
  • completion_tokens
  • total_tokens
  • cost
  • model

This class is used to create a client that can be used by OpenAIWrapper.
The response returned from create must adhere to the ModelClientResponseProtocol but can be extended however needed.
The message_retrieval method must be implemented to return a list of str or a list of messages from the response.

Parameters:

Name	Description
*args
**kwargs

Class Attributes

ModelClientResponseProtocol

Base class for protocol classes.
Protocol classes are defined as::
class Proto(Protocol):
def meth(self) -> int:
…
Such classes are primarily used with static type checkers that recognize structural subtyping (static duck-typing).
For example::
class C:
def meth(self) -> int:
return 0

def func(x: Proto) -> int:
return x.meth()

func(C()) # Passes static type check

See PEP 544 for details. Protocol classes decorated with @typing.runtime_checkable act as simple-minded runtime protocols that check only the presence of given attributes, ignoring their type signatures.
Protocol classes can be generic, they are defined as::
class GenProtoT:
def meth(self) -> T:
…

RESPONSE_USAGE_KEYS

Static Methods

get_usage

get_usage(response: ModelClientResponseProtocol) -> dict

Return usage summary of the response using RESPONSE_USAGE_KEYS.

Parameters:

Name	Description
response	Type: ModelClientResponseProtocol

Instance Methods

cost

cost(self, response: ModelClientResponseProtocol) -> float

Parameters:

Name	Description
response	Type: ModelClientResponseProtocol

create

create(self, params: dict[str, Any]) -> ModelClientResponseProtocol

Parameters:

Name	Description
params	Type: dict[str, Any]

message_retrieval

message_retrieval(self, response: ModelClientResponseProtocol) -> Union[list[str], list[Message]]

Retrieve and return a list of strings or a list of Choice.Message from the response.
NOTE: if a list of Choice.Message is returned, it currently needs to contain the fields of OpenAI’s ChatCompletion Message object, since that is expected for function or tool calling in the rest of the codebase at the moment, unless a custom agent is being used.

Parameters:

Name	Description
response	Type: ModelClientResponseProtocol
