google-ai

Will be passed as the x-goog-api-key header. Default: env.GOOGLE_API_KEY

x-goog-api-key: $api_key

The base URL for the API. Default: https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta

The default role for any prompts that don’t specify a role. Default: user

We don’t have any checks for this field, you can pass any string you wish.

The model to use. Default: gemini-1.5-flash

We don’t have any checks for this field, you can pass any string you wish.

See the Google Model Docs for the latest models.

Additional headers to send with the request.

Example:

1
client<llm> MyClient {
2
  provider google-ai
3
  options {
4
    model "gemini-1.5-flash"
5
    headers {
6
      "X-My-Header" "my-value"
7
    }
8
  }
9
}

The role to use if the role is not in the allowed_roles. Default: "user" usually, but some models like OpenAI’s gpt-4o will use "system"

Picked the first role in allowed_roles if not “user”, otherwise “user”.

Which roles should we forward to the API? Default: ["system", "user", "assistant"] usually, but some models like OpenAI’s o1-mini will use ["user", "assistant"]

When building prompts, any role not in this list will be set to the default_role.

Which role metadata should we forward to the API? Default: []

For example you can set this to ["foo", "bar"] to forward the cache policy to the API.

If you do not set allowed_role_metadata, we will not forward any role metadata to the API even if it is set in the prompt.

Then in your prompt you can use something like:

1
client<llm> Foo {
2
  provider openai
3
  options {
4
    allowed_role_metadata: ["foo", "bar"]
5
  }
6
}
7
8
client<llm> FooWithout {
9
  provider openai
10
  options {
11
  }
12
}
13
template_string Foo() #"
14
  {{ _.role('user', foo={"type": "ephemeral"}, bar="1", cat=True) }}
15
  This will be have foo and bar, but not cat metadata. But only for Foo, not FooWithout.
16
  {{ _.role('user') }}
17
  This will have none of the role metadata for Foo or FooWithout.
18
"#

You can use the playground to see the raw curl request to see what is being sent to the API.

Whether the internal LLM client should use the streaming API. Default: true

Then in your prompt you can use something like:

1
client<llm> MyClientWithoutStreaming {
2
  provider anthropic
3
  options {
4
    model claude-3-haiku-20240307
5
    api_key env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
6
    max_tokens 1000
7
    supports_streaming false
8
  }
9
}
10
11
function MyFunction() -> string {
12
  client MyClientWithoutStreaming
13
  prompt #"Write a short story"#
14
}

1
# This will be streamed from your python code perspective, 
2
# but under the hood it will call the non-streaming HTTP API
3
# and then return a streamable response with a single event
4
b.stream.MyFunction()
5
6
# This will work exactly the same as before
7
b.MyFunction()

BAML will auto construct this field for you from the prompt
