Model

Defined in: src/models/model.ts:177

Base abstract class for model providers. Defines the contract that all model provider implementations must follow.

Model providers handle communication with LLM APIs and implement streaming responses using async iterables.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter	Default type	Description
T extends BaseModelConfig	BaseModelConfig	Model configuration type extending BaseModelConfig

Constructors

Constructor

new Model<T>(): Model<T>;

Returns

Model<T>

Accessors

modelId

Get Signature

get modelId(): string;

Defined in: src/models/model.ts:196

The model ID from the current configuration, if configured.

Returns

string

Methods

updateConfig()

abstract updateConfig(modelConfig): void;

Defined in: src/models/model.ts:184

Updates the model configuration. Merges the provided configuration with existing settings.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
modelConfig	T	Configuration object with model-specific settings to update

Returns

void

---

getConfig()

abstract getConfig(): T;

Defined in: src/models/model.ts:191

Retrieves the current model configuration.

Returns

T

The current configuration object

---

stream()

abstract stream(messages, options?): AsyncIterable<ModelStreamEvent>;

Defined in: src/models/model.ts:208

Streams a conversation with the model. Returns an async iterable that yields streaming events as they occur.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
messages	Message[]	Array of conversation messages
options?	StreamOptions	Optional streaming configuration

Returns

AsyncIterable<ModelStreamEvent>

Async iterable of streaming events

---

countTokens()

countTokens(messages, options?): Promise<number>;

Defined in: src/models/model.ts:224

Count tokens for the given input before sending to the model.

Used for proactive context management (e.g., triggering compression at a threshold). The base implementation uses a character-based heuristic (chars/4 for text, chars/2 for JSON).

Subclasses should override this method to use native token counting APIs (e.g., Bedrock CountTokens, Anthropic countTokens, Gemini countTokens) for improved accuracy, falling back to super.countTokens() on API failure.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
messages	Message[]	Array of conversation messages to count tokens for
options?	CountTokensOptions	Optional options containing system prompt and tool specs

Returns

Promise<number>

Total input token count

---

streamAggregated()

streamAggregated(messages, options?): AsyncGenerator<
  | ContentBlock
| ModelStreamEvent, StreamAggregatedResult, undefined>;

Defined in: src/models/model.ts:282

Streams a conversation with aggregated content blocks and messages. Returns an async generator that yields streaming events and content blocks, and returns the final message with stop reason and optional metadata.

This method enhances the basic stream() by collecting streaming events into complete ContentBlock and Message objects, which are needed by the agentic loop for tool execution and conversation management.

The method yields:

• ModelStreamEvent - Original streaming events (passed through)
• ContentBlock - Complete content block (emitted when block completes)

The method returns:

• StreamAggregatedResult containing the complete message, stop reason, and optional metadata

All exceptions thrown from this method are wrapped in ModelError to provide a consistent error type for model-related errors. Specific error subtypes like ContextWindowOverflowError, ModelThrottledError, and MaxTokensError are preserved.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
messages	Message[]	Array of conversation messages
options?	StreamOptions	Optional streaming configuration

Returns

AsyncGenerator< | ContentBlock | ModelStreamEvent, StreamAggregatedResult, undefined>

Async generator yielding ModelStreamEvent | ContentBlock and returning a StreamAggregatedResult

Throws

ModelError - Base class for all model-related errors

Throws

ContextWindowOverflowError - When input exceeds the model’s context window

Throws

ModelThrottledError - When the model provider throttles requests

Throws

MaxTokensError - When the model reaches its maximum token limit
