## OpenAICompatibleModel

```python theme={"system"}
class OpenAICompatibleModel(BaseModelBackend):
```

Constructor for model backend supporting OpenAI compatibility.

**Parameters:**

* **model\_type** (Union\[ModelType, str]): Model for which a backend is created.
* **model\_config\_dict** (Optional\[Dict\[str, Any]], optional): A dictionary that will be fed into:obj:`openai.ChatCompletion.create()`. If :obj:`None`, :obj:`{}` will be used. (default: :obj:`None`)
* **api\_key** (str): The API key for authenticating with the model service.
* **url** (str): The url to the model service.
* **token\_counter** (Optional\[BaseTokenCounter], optional): Token counter to use for the model. If not provided, :obj:`OpenAITokenCounter( ModelType.GPT_4O_MINI)` will be used. (default: :obj:`None`)
* **timeout** (Optional\[float], optional): The timeout value in seconds for API calls. If not provided, will fall back to the MODEL\_TIMEOUT environment variable or default to 180 seconds. (default: :obj:`None`)
* **max\_retries** (int, optional): Maximum number of retries for API calls. (default: :obj:`3`)
* **client** (Optional\[Any], optional): A custom synchronous OpenAI-compatible client instance. If provided, this client will be used instead of creating a new one. Useful for RL frameworks like AReaL or rLLM that provide OpenAI-compatible clients (e.g., ArealOpenAI). The client should implement the OpenAI client interface with `.chat.completions.create()` and `.beta.chat. completions.parse()` methods. (default: :obj:`None`)
* **async\_client** (Optional\[Any], optional): A custom asynchronous OpenAI-compatible client instance. If provided, this client will be used instead of creating a new one. The client should implement the AsyncOpenAI client interface. (default: :obj:`None`) \*\*kwargs (Any): Additional arguments to pass to the OpenAI client initialization. These can include parameters like 'organization', 'default\_headers', 'http\_client', etc. Ignored if custom clients are provided.

<a id="camel.models.openai_compatible_model.OpenAICompatibleModel._run" />

### \_run

```python theme={"system"}
def _run(
    self,
    messages: List[OpenAIMessage],
    response_format: Optional[Type[BaseModel]] = None,
    tools: Optional[List[Dict[str, Any]]] = None
):
```

Runs inference of OpenAI chat completion.

**Parameters:**

* **messages** (List\[OpenAIMessage]): Message list with the chat history in OpenAI API format.
* **response\_format** (Optional\[Type\[BaseModel]]): The format of the response.
* **tools** (Optional\[List\[Dict\[str, Any]]]): The schema of the tools to use for the request.

**Returns:**

Union\[ChatCompletion, Stream\[ChatCompletionChunk]]:
`ChatCompletion` in the non-stream mode, or
`Stream[ChatCompletionChunk]` in the stream mode.
`ChatCompletionStreamManager[BaseModel]` for
structured output streaming.
