This means for many providers (fireworks, litelmm, olama) we only need simple config in order to get it working, almost no code.</p> <p><strong>Problems</strong><br> However not having providers in core is confusing for newbies.<br> Having to maintain a ton of modules for each provider is getting unmanageable.<br> MANY providers use the OpenAI SDK and almost all the code of OpenAI, we can require it but then you have a wierd situation where the OpenAI provider is installed and visible when I don't want to use it.</p> <h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce (required for bugs, but not feature requests)</h4> <p>Please provide information like AI modules enabled, which AI provider, browser, etc.</p> <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <p><strong>Solution:</strong><br> We could maintain a simple file inside the AI module that stores all the config needed for all the providers (Model metadata like context,<br> A UI for setting up "OpenAI compatible providers" which would make that provider appear in the list. (But I won't see all the other providers I could use, unless I go through the setup again).</p> <h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3> <h3>Optional: Other details as applicable (e.g., User interface changes, API changes, Data model changes)</h3>
