mod.rs

1//! Provider: the interface for communicating with an LLM.
2//!
3//! This module defines the `Provider` trait and its companion data types:
4//! requests ([`ChatRequest`]), responses ([`ChatResponse`] / [`StreamEvent`]),
5//! errors ([`ProviderError`]), capabilities ([`ProviderCapabilities`]),
6//! request context ([`ProviderRequestContext`]), and usage ([`Usage`]). The
7//! trait itself is vendor-agnostic; the lightweight implementations
8//! ([`FakeProvider`] and [`RetryProvider`]) live here. Concrete network
9//! providers live in optional adapter crates such as `molo-openai`.
10//!
11//! The provider contract is intentionally explicit: successful `chat`
12//! returns exactly one assistant message, successful streams terminate with
13//! one `Done`, usage is reported only when the provider supplies it, and
14//! local decode/protocol/size-limit failures are distinct from vendor API
15//! errors. Context-aware methods are the runtime boundary: runtimes pass run
16//! ids, model request ids, deadlines, cancellation, and sanitized metadata to
17//! providers explicitly. The plain `chat` and `stream_chat` methods remain
18//! convenience entry points for direct provider use.

496/// carried by fields; vendor-specific errors are mapped into this type at the
497/// implementation boundary. `#[non_exhaustive]` guarantees that adding new
498/// categories in the future is not a breaking change.
499///
500/// Error classification is the basis for retry decisions (see the `Default`
501/// judgment of [`Retryable`]): Network / Timeout / RateLimited are worth
502/// retrying, while `Api` is judged by status (5xx retried, 4xx not — retrying
503/// would not change the outcome). Local decode/protocol errors are distinct
504/// from vendor API errors and are not retried by default.
