})

🔌 External Providers

Some providers with heavy SDK dependencies are available as separate modules to keep the core library lightweight. These are injected via ClientConfig.CustomProvider.

Provider	Module	Why External
AWS Bedrock	github.com/agentplexus/omnillm-bedrock	AWS SDK v2 adds 17+ transitive dependencies

Using External Providers

import (
    "github.com/agentplexus/omnillm"
    "github.com/agentplexus/omnillm-bedrock"  // or your custom provider
)

// Create the external provider
provider, err := bedrock.NewProvider("us-east-1")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Inject via CustomProvider
client, err := omnillm.NewClient(omnillm.ClientConfig{
    CustomProvider: provider,
})

Creating Your Own External Provider

External providers implement the provider.Provider interface:

import "github.com/agentplexus/omnillm/provider"

type MyProvider struct{}

func (p *MyProvider) Name() string { return "myprovider" }
func (p *MyProvider) Close() error { return nil }

func (p *MyProvider) CreateChatCompletion(ctx context.Context, req *provider.ChatCompletionRequest) (*provider.ChatCompletionResponse, error) {
    // Your implementation
}

func (p *MyProvider) CreateChatCompletionStream(ctx context.Context, req *provider.ChatCompletionRequest) (provider.ChatCompletionStream, error) {
    // Your streaming implementation
}

See the omnillm-bedrock source code as a reference implementation.

📡 Streaming Example

stream, err := client.CreateChatCompletionStream(context.Background(), &omnillm.ChatCompletionRequest{
    Model: omnillm.ModelGPT4o,
    Messages: []omnillm.Message{
        {
            Role:    omnillm.RoleUser,
            Content: "Tell me a short story about AI.",
        },
    },
    MaxTokens:   &[]int{200}[0],
    Temperature: &[]float64{0.8}[0],
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer stream.Close()

fmt.Print("AI Response: ")
for {
    chunk, err := stream.Recv()
    if err == io.EOF {
        break
    }
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    
    if len(chunk.Choices) > 0 && chunk.Choices[0].Delta != nil {
        fmt.Print(chunk.Choices[0].Delta.Content)
    }
}
fmt.Println()

🧠 Conversation Memory

OmniLLM supports persistent conversation memory using any Key-Value Store that implements the Sogo KVS interface. This enables multi-turn conversations that persist across application restarts.

Memory Configuration

// Configure memory settings
memoryConfig := omnillm.MemoryConfig{
    MaxMessages: 50,                    // Keep last 50 messages per session
    TTL:         24 * time.Hour,       // Messages expire after 24 hours
    KeyPrefix:   "myapp:conversations", // Custom key prefix
}

// Create client with memory (using Redis, DynamoDB, etc.)
client, err := omnillm.NewClient(omnillm.ClientConfig{
    Provider:     omnillm.ProviderNameOpenAI,
    APIKey:       "your-api-key",
    Memory:       kvsClient,          // Your KVS implementation
    MemoryConfig: &memoryConfig,
})

Memory-Aware Completions

// Create a session with system message
err = client.CreateConversationWithSystemMessage(ctx, "user-123", 
    "You are a helpful assistant that remembers our conversation history.")

// Use memory-aware completion - automatically loads conversation history
response, err := client.CreateChatCompletionWithMemory(ctx, "user-123", &omnillm.ChatCompletionRequest{
    Model: omnillm.ModelGPT4o,
    Messages: []omnillm.Message{
        {Role: omnillm.RoleUser, Content: "What did we discuss last time?"},
    },
    MaxTokens: &[]int{200}[0],
})

// The response will include context from previous conversations in this session

Memory Management

// Load conversation history
conversation, err := client.LoadConversation(ctx, "user-123")

// Get just the messages
messages, err := client.GetConversationMessages(ctx, "user-123")

// Manually append messages
err = client.AppendMessage(ctx, "user-123", omnillm.Message{
    Role:    omnillm.RoleUser,
    Content: "Remember this important fact: I prefer JSON responses.",
})

// Delete conversation
err = client.DeleteConversation(ctx, "user-123")

KVS Backend Support

Memory works with any KVS implementation:

• Redis: For high-performance, distributed memory
• DynamoDB: For AWS-native storage
• In-Memory: For testing and development
• Custom: Any implementation of the Sogo KVS interface

// Example with Redis (using a hypothetical Redis KVS implementation)
redisKVS := redis.NewKVSClient("localhost:6379")
client, err := omnillm.NewClient(omnillm.ClientConfig{
    Provider: omnillm.ProviderNameOpenAI,
    APIKey:   "your-key",
    Memory:   redisKVS,
})

📊 Observability Hooks

OmniLLM supports observability hooks that allow you to add tracing, logging, and metrics to LLM calls without modifying the core library. This is useful for integrating with observability platforms like OpenTelemetry, Datadog, or custom monitoring solutions.

ObservabilityHook Interface

// LLMCallInfo provides metadata about the LLM call
type LLMCallInfo struct {
    CallID       string    // Unique identifier for correlating BeforeRequest/AfterResponse
    ProviderName string    // e.g., "openai", "anthropic"
    StartTime    time.Time // When the call started
}

// ObservabilityHook allows external packages to observe LLM calls
type ObservabilityHook interface {
    // BeforeRequest is called before each LLM call.
    // Returns a new context for trace/span propagation.
    BeforeRequest(ctx context.Context, info LLMCallInfo, req *provider.ChatCompletionRequest) context.Context

    // AfterResponse is called after each LLM call completes (success or failure).
    AfterResponse(ctx context.Context, info LLMCallInfo, req *provider.ChatCompletionRequest, resp *provider.ChatCompletionResponse, err error)

    // WrapStream wraps a stream for observability of streaming responses.
    // Note: AfterResponse is only called if stream creation fails. For streaming
    // completion timing, handle Close() or EOF detection in your wrapper.
    WrapStream(ctx context.Context, info LLMCallInfo, req *provider.ChatCompletionRequest, stream provider.ChatCompletionStream) provider.ChatCompletionStream
}

Basic Usage

// Create a simple logging hook
type LoggingHook struct{}

func (h *LoggingHook) BeforeRequest(ctx context.Context, info omnillm.LLMCallInfo, req *omnillm.ChatCompletionRequest) context.Context {
    log.Printf("[%s] LLM call started: provider=%s model=%s", info.CallID, info.ProviderName, req.Model)
    return ctx
}

func (h *LoggingHook) AfterResponse(ctx context.Context, info omnillm.LLMCallInfo, req *omnillm.ChatCompletionRequest, resp *omnillm.ChatCompletionResponse, err error) {
    duration := time.Since(info.StartTime)
    if err != nil {
        log.Printf("[%s] LLM call failed: provider=%s duration=%v error=%v", info.CallID, info.ProviderName, duration, err)
    } else {
        log.Printf("[%s] LLM call completed: provider=%s duration=%v tokens=%d", info.CallID, info.ProviderName, duration, resp.Usage.TotalTokens)
    }
}

func (h *LoggingHook) WrapStream(ctx context.Context, info omnillm.LLMCallInfo, req *omnillm.ChatCompletionRequest, stream omnillm.ChatCompletionStream) omnillm.ChatCompletionStream {
    return stream // Return unwrapped for simple logging, or wrap for streaming metrics
}

// Use the hook when creating a client
client, err := omnillm.NewClient(omnillm.ClientConfig{
    Provider:          omnillm.ProviderNameOpenAI,
    APIKey:            "your-api-key",
    ObservabilityHook: &LoggingHook{},
})

OpenTelemetry Integration Example

type OTelHook struct {
    tracer trace.Tracer
}

func (h *OTelHook) BeforeRequest(ctx context.Context, info omnillm.LLMCallInfo, req *omnillm.ChatCompletionRequest) context.Context {
    ctx, span := h.tracer.Start(ctx, "llm.chat_completion",
        trace.WithAttributes(
            attribute.String("llm.provider", info.ProviderName),
            attribute.String("llm.model", req.Model),
        ),
    )
    return ctx
}

func (h *OTelHook) AfterResponse(ctx context.Context, info omnillm.LLMCallInfo, req *omnillm.ChatCompletionRequest, resp *omnillm.ChatCompletionResponse, err error) {
    span := trace.SpanFromContext(ctx)
    defer span.End()

    if err != nil {
        span.RecordError(err)
        span.SetStatus(codes.Error, err.Error())
    } else if resp != nil {
        span.SetAttributes(
            attribute.Int("llm.tokens.total", resp.Usage.TotalTokens),
            attribute.Int("llm.tokens.prompt", resp.Usage.PromptTokens),
            attribute.Int("llm.tokens.completion", resp.Usage.CompletionTokens),
        )
    }
}

func (h *OTelHook) WrapStream(ctx context.Context, info omnillm.LLMCallInfo, req *omnillm.ChatCompletionRequest, stream omnillm.ChatCompletionStream) omnillm.ChatCompletionStream {
    return &observableStream{stream: stream, ctx: ctx, info: info}
}

Key Benefits

• Non-Invasive: Add observability without modifying core library code
• Provider Agnostic: Works with all LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, etc.)
• Streaming Support: Wrap streams to observe streaming responses
• Context Propagation: Pass trace context through the entire call chain
• Flexible: Implement only the methods you need; all are called if the hook is set

🔄 Provider Switching

The unified interface makes it easy to switch between providers:

// Same request works with any provider
request := &omnillm.ChatCompletionRequest{
    Model: omnillm.ModelGPT4o, // or omnillm.ModelClaude3Sonnet, etc.
    Messages: []omnillm.Message{
        {Role: omnillm.RoleUser, Content: "Hello, world!"},
    },
    MaxTokens: &[]int{100}[0],
}

// OpenAI
openaiClient, _ := omnillm.NewClient(omnillm.ClientConfig{
    Provider: omnillm.ProviderNameOpenAI,
    APIKey:   "openai-key",
})

// Anthropic
anthropicClient, _ := omnillm.NewClient(omnillm.ClientConfig{
    Provider: omnillm.ProviderNameAnthropic,
    APIKey:   "anthropic-key",
})

// Gemini
geminiClient, _ := omnillm.NewClient(omnillm.ClientConfig{
    Provider: omnillm.ProviderNameGemini,
    APIKey:   "gemini-key",
})

// Same API call for all providers
response1, _ := openaiClient.CreateChatCompletion(ctx, request)
response2, _ := anthropicClient.CreateChatCompletion(ctx, request)
response3, _ := geminiClient.CreateChatCompletion(ctx, request)

🧪 Testing

OmniLLM includes a comprehensive test suite with both unit tests and integration tests.

Running Tests

# Run all unit tests (no API keys required)
go test ./... -short

# Run with coverage
go test ./... -short -cover

# Run integration tests (requires API keys)
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key go test ./providers/anthropic -v
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key go test ./providers/openai -v
XAI_API_KEY=your-key go test ./providers/xai -v

# Run all tests including integration
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key XAI_API_KEY=your-key go test ./... -v

Test Coverage

• Unit Tests: Mock-based tests that run without external dependencies
• Integration Tests: Real API tests that skip gracefully when API keys are not set
• Memory Tests: Comprehensive conversation memory management tests
• Provider Tests: Adapter logic, message conversion, and streaming tests

Writing Tests

The clean interface design makes testing straightforward:

// Mock the Provider interface for testing
type mockProvider struct{}

func (m *mockProvider) CreateChatCompletion(ctx context.Context, req *omnillm.ChatCompletionRequest) (*omnillm.ChatCompletionResponse, error) {
    return &omnillm.ChatCompletionResponse{
        Choices: []omnillm.ChatCompletionChoice{
            {
                Message: omnillm.Message{
                    Role:    omnillm.RoleAssistant,
                    Content: "Mock response",
                },
            },
        },
    }, nil
}

func (m *mockProvider) CreateChatCompletionStream(ctx context.Context, req *omnillm.ChatCompletionRequest) (omnillm.ChatCompletionStream, error) {
    return nil, nil
}

func (m *mockProvider) Close() error { return nil }
func (m *mockProvider) Name() string { return "mock" }

Conditional Integration Tests

Integration tests automatically skip when API keys are not available:

func TestAnthropicIntegration_Streaming(t *testing.T) {
    apiKey := os.Getenv("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY")
    if apiKey == "" {
        t.Skip("Skipping integration test: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY not set")
    }
    // Test code here...
}

Mock KVS for Memory Testing

OmniLLM provides a mock KVS implementation for testing memory functionality:

import omnillmtest "github.com/agentplexus/omnillm/testing"

// Create mock KVS for testing
mockKVS := omnillmtest.NewMockKVS()

client, err := omnillm.NewClient(omnillm.ClientConfig{
    Provider: omnillm.ProviderNameOpenAI,
    APIKey:   "test-key",
    Memory:   mockKVS,
})

🔧 Configuration

Environment Variables

• OPENAI_API_KEY: Your OpenAI API key
• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: Your Anthropic API key
• GEMINI_API_KEY: Your Google Gemini API key
• XAI_API_KEY: Your X.AI API key

Advanced Configuration

config := omnillm.ClientConfig{
    Provider: omnillm.ProviderNameOpenAI,
    APIKey:   "your-api-key",
    BaseURL:  "https://custom-endpoint.com/v1",
    Extra: map[string]any{
        "timeout": 60, // Custom provider-specific settings
    },
}

Logging Configuration

OmniLLM supports injectable logging via Go's standard log/slog package. If no logger is provided, a null logger is used (no output).

import (
    "log/slog"
    "os"

    "github.com/agentplexus/omnillm"
)

// Use a custom logger
logger := slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stderr, &slog.HandlerOptions{
    Level: slog.LevelDebug,
}))

client, err := omnillm.NewClient(omnillm.ClientConfig{
    Provider: omnillm.ProviderNameOpenAI,
    APIKey:   "your-api-key",
    Logger:   logger, // Optional: defaults to null logger if not provided
})

// Access the logger if needed
client.Logger().Info("client initialized", slog.String("provider", "openai"))

The logger is used internally for non-critical errors (e.g., memory save failures) that shouldn't interrupt the main request flow.

Context-Aware Logging

OmniLLM supports request-scoped logging via context. This allows you to attach trace IDs, user IDs, or other request-specific attributes to all log output within a request:

import (
    "log/slog"

    "github.com/agentplexus/omnillm"
    "github.com/grokify/mogo/log/slogutil"
)

// Create a request-scoped logger with trace/user context
reqLogger := slog.Default().With(
    slog.String("trace_id", traceID),
    slog.String("user_id", userID),
    slog.String("request_id", requestID),
)

// Attach logger to context
ctx = slogutil.ContextWithLogger(ctx, reqLogger)

// All internal logging will now include trace_id, user_id, and request_id
response, err := client.CreateChatCompletionWithMemory(ctx, sessionID, req)

The context-aware logger is retrieved using slogutil.LoggerFromContext(ctx, fallback), which returns the context logger if present, or falls back to the client's configured logger.

Retry with Backoff

OmniLLM supports automatic retries for transient failures (rate limits, 5xx errors) via a custom HTTP client. This uses the retryhttp package from github.com/grokify/mogo.

import (
    "net/http"
    "time"

    "github.com/agentplexus/omnillm"
    "github.com/grokify/mogo/net/http/retryhttp"
)

// Create retry transport with exponential backoff
rt := retryhttp.NewWithOptions(
    retryhttp.WithMaxRetries(5),                           // Max 5 retries
    retryhttp.WithInitialBackoff(500 * time.Millisecond),  // Start with 500ms

// Create client with retry-enabled HTTP client
client, err := omnillm.NewClient(omnillm.ClientConfig{
    Provider: omnillm.ProviderNameOpenAI,
    APIKey:   os.Getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
    HTTPClient: &http.Client{
        Transport: rt,
        Timeout:   2 * time.Minute, // Allow time for retries
    },
})

Retry Transport Features:

Feature	Default	Description
Max Retries	3	Maximum retry attempts
Initial Backoff	1s	Starting backoff duration
Max Backoff	30s	Cap on backoff duration
Backoff Multiplier	2.0	Exponential growth factor
Jitter	10%	Randomness to prevent thundering herd
Retryable Status Codes	429, 500, 502, 503, 504	Rate limits + 5xx errors

Additional Options:

• WithRetryableStatusCodes(codes) - Custom status codes to retry
• WithShouldRetry(fn) - Custom retry decision function
• WithLogger(logger) - Structured logging for retry events
• Respects Retry-After headers from API responses

Provider Support: Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, X.AI, and Ollama providers. Gemini and Bedrock use SDK clients with their own retry mechanisms.

🏗️ Adding New Providers

🎯 3rd Party Providers (Recommended)

External packages can create providers without modifying the core library. This is the recommended approach for most use cases:

Step 1: Create Your Provider Package

// In your external package (e.g., github.com/yourname/omnillm-gemini)
package gemini

import (
    "context"
    "github.com/agentplexus/omnillm/provider"
)

// Step 1: HTTP Client (like providers/openai/openai.go)
type Client struct {
    apiKey string
    // your HTTP client implementation
}

func New(apiKey string) *Client {
    return &Client{apiKey: apiKey}
}

// Step 2: Provider Adapter (like providers/openai/adapter.go)
type Provider struct {
    client *Client
}

func NewProvider(apiKey string) provider.Provider {
    return &Provider{client: New(apiKey)}
}

func (p *Provider) CreateChatCompletion(ctx context.Context, req *provider.ChatCompletionRequest) (*provider.ChatCompletionResponse, error) {
    // Convert provider.ChatCompletionRequest to your API format
    // Make HTTP call via p.client
    // Convert response back to provider.ChatCompletionResponse
}

func (p *Provider) CreateChatCompletionStream(ctx context.Context, req *provider.ChatCompletionRequest) (provider.ChatCompletionStream, error) {
    // Your streaming implementation
}

func (p *Provider) Close() error { return p.client.Close() }
func (p *Provider) Name() string { return "gemini" }

Step 2: Use Your Provider

import (
    "github.com/agentplexus/omnillm"
    "github.com/yourname/omnillm-gemini"
)

func main() {
    // Create your custom provider
    customProvider := gemini.NewProvider("your-api-key")

    // Inject it directly into omnillm - no core modifications needed!
    client, err := omnillm.NewClient(omnillm.ClientConfig{
        CustomProvider: customProvider,
    })

    // Use the same omnillm API
    response, err := client.CreateChatCompletion(ctx, &omnillm.ChatCompletionRequest{
        Model: "gemini-pro",
        Messages: []omnillm.Message{{Role: omnillm.RoleUser, Content: "Hello!"}},
    })
}

🔧 Built-in Providers (For Core Contributors)

To add a built-in provider to the core library, follow the same structure as existing providers:

1. Create Provider Package: providers/newprovider/

   • newprovider.go - HTTP client implementation
   • types.go - Provider-specific request/response types
   • adapter.go - provider.Provider interface implementation

2. Update Core Files:

   • Add factory function in providers.go
   • Add provider constant in constants.go
   • Add model constants if needed

3. Reference Implementation: Look at any existing provider (e.g., providers/openai/) as they all follow the exact same pattern that external providers should use

🎯 Why This Architecture?

• 🔌 No Core Changes: External providers don't require modifying the core library
• 🏗️ Reference Pattern: Internal providers demonstrate the exact structure external providers should follow
• 🧪 Easy Testing: Both internal and external providers use the same provider.Provider interface
• 📦 Self-Contained: Each provider manages its own HTTP client, types, and adapter logic
• 🔧 Direct Injection: Clean dependency injection via ClientConfig.CustomProvider

🚨 Error Handling

OmniLLM provides comprehensive error handling with provider-specific context:

response, err := client.CreateChatCompletion(ctx, request)
if err != nil {
    if apiErr, ok := err.(*omnillm.APIError); ok {
        fmt.Printf("Provider: %s, Status: %d, Message: %s\n", 
            apiErr.Provider, apiErr.StatusCode, apiErr.Message)
    }
}
