# rig-bailian
Rig adapter for Alibaba BaiLian (DashScope). This crate integrates BaiLian’s OpenAI‑compatible APIs into the Rig ecosystem with a consistent, strongly‑typed interface for:
- Chat completions (agents)
- Text embeddings
- Streaming responses
- Reranking
Use this adapter to swap BaiLian in and out with other providers supported by Rig with minimal code changes.
Documentation: https://docs.rs/rig-bailian
## Features
- Consistent Rig API surface:
- `Client::from_env()` and `Client::builder(...)`
- `.agent(model)`, `.embeddings(model)`, and rerank model helpers
- Chat completion with context stacking (agents)
- Text embedding builders with `derive(Embed)`
- Streaming support aligned with Rig semantics
- Rerank API with top‑k selection
- Sensible defaults and environment‑based configuration
Key constants:
- `QWEN3_MAX`: a convenience model id for chat completions
- `TEXT_EMBEDDING_V4`: a convenience model id for embeddings
- `GTE_RERANK_V2`: a convenience rerank model id
- `BAILIAN_API_BASE_URL`: default base URL (`https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`)
## Installation
From crates.io (recommended):
```toml
[dependencies]
rig-bailian = "0.1"
rig-core = "0.28.0" # Rig core
rig-derive = "0.1.10" # Optional: for derive macros like Embed
```
From a workspace/path (if you’re developing locally):
```toml
[dependencies]
rig-bailian = { path = "../rig-bailian" }
rig-core = "0.28.0"
rig-derive = "0.1.10"
```
## Configuration (Environment Variables)
- `BAILIAN_API_KEY` (required): Your DashScope API key.
- `BAILIAN_BASE_URL` (optional): Override API base. Defaults to:
`https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`.
Example:
```bash
export BAILIAN_API_KEY="sk-xxxxxxxx"
# export BAILIAN_BASE_URL="https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1"
```
## Quick Start
Below are minimal snippets for chat, embeddings, and reranking.
### Chat (Agent)
```rust
use rig::completion::Prompt;
use rig::prelude::*;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
// Configure via env: BAILIAN_API_KEY, optional BAILIAN_BASE_URL
let client = rig_bailian::Client::from_env();
// Build an agent with context
let response = client
.agent(rig_bailian::QWEN3_MAX)
.context("You are a concise, helpful assistant.")
.prompt("Say hello in one sentence.")
.await?;
println!("BaiLian agent: {response}");
Ok(())
}
```
### Embeddings
```rust
use rig::Embed;
use rig::prelude::*;
use rig_derive::Embed;
#[derive(Embed, Debug)]
struct Doc {
#[embed]
text: String,
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
let client = rig_bailian::Client::from_env();
let embeddings = client
.embeddings(rig_bailian::TEXT_EMBEDDING_V4)
.document(Doc { text: "Hello, world!".into() })?
.document(Doc { text: "Goodbye, world!".into() })?
.build()
.await?;
println!("{embeddings:?}");
Ok(())
}
```
### Rerank
```rust
use rig::prelude::*;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
let client = rig_bailian::Client::from_env();
let docs = vec![
"Transformers are attention-based architectures.".to_string(),
"Reranking orders documents by relevance.".to_string(),
];
let model = client.rerank_model(rig_bailian::GTE_RERANK_V2, None);
let results = model
.rerank("what is a transformer?", &docs, Some(2), true)
.await?;
for r in results {
println!("#{}/{} => {}", r.index, r.relevance_score, r.text);
}
Ok(())
}
```
