Create a new LLM provider from an ellmer::chat() object

This function creates a llm_provider from an ellmer::chat() object. This allows the user to use the various LLM providers which are supported by the 'ellmer' R package, including respective configuration and features.

Please note that this function is experimental. This provider type may show different behavior than other LLM providers, and may not function optimally.

Usage

llm_provider_ellmer(chat, verbose = getOption("tidyprompt.verbose", TRUE))

Arguments

chat

An ellmer::chat() object (e.g., ellmer::chat_openai())

verbose

A logical indicating whether the interaction with the llm_provider should be printed to the console. Default is TRUE

Value

An llm_provider with api_type = "ellmer"

Details

Unlike other LLM provider classes, LLM provider settings need to be managed in the ellmer::chat() object (and not in the $parameters list). $get_chat() and $set_chat() may be used to manipulate the chat object.
