Model

The Model class is the base class for all models in Agno. It provides common functionality and parameters that are inherited by specific model implementations like OpenAIChat, Claude, etc.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
id	str	Required	The id/name of the model to use
name	Optional[str]	None	The display name of the model
provider	Optional[str]	None	The provider of the model
frequency_penalty	Optional[float]	None	Penalizes new tokens based on their frequency in the text so far
presence_penalty	Optional[float]	None	Penalizes new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far
response_format	Optional[str]	None	The format of the response
seed	Optional[int]	None	Random seed for deterministic sampling
stop	Optional[Union[str, List[str]]]	None	Up to 4 sequences where the API will stop generating further tokens
stream	bool	True	Whether to stream the response
temperature	Optional[float]	None	Controls randomness in the model’s output
top_p	Optional[float]	None	Controls diversity via nucleus sampling
max_tokens	Optional[int]	None	Maximum number of tokens to generate
request_params	Optional[Dict[str, Any]]	None	Additional parameters to include in the request
cache_response	bool	False	Enable caching of model responses to avoid redundant API calls
cache_ttl	Optional[int]	None	Time-to-live for cached model responses, in seconds. If None, cache never expires
cache_dir	Optional[str]	None	Directory path for storing cached model responses. If None, uses default cache location
retries	int	0	Number of retries to attempt before raising a ModelProviderError
delay_between_retries	int	1	Delay between retries, in seconds
exponential_backoff	bool	False	If True, the delay between retries is doubled each time
