via “model-agnostic provider abstraction with unified interface”
Type-safe agent framework by Pydantic — structured outputs, dependency injection, model-agnostic.
Unique: Implements a ModelClient protocol that normalizes provider-specific APIs (OpenAI's function_calling, Anthropic's tool_choice, Gemini's tool_config) into a single interface. Uses provider-specific integration modules that handle authentication, request serialization, and response parsing, allowing the core agent loop to remain provider-agnostic. Includes built-in token counting and cost estimation per provider.
vs others: More comprehensive provider coverage than LangChain's LLMBase (which requires custom subclassing for new providers) and cleaner abstraction than Anthropic SDK (which only supports Anthropic models), enabling true multi-provider flexibility without vendor lock-in.
