“Models” have been fully integrated into a “Plugin” ecosystem. For detailed development instructions on model plugins, please refer to Plugin Development. The following content has been archived.

After completing the supplier integration, the next step is to integrate the models under the supplier.

First, we need to determine the type of model to be integrated and create the corresponding model type module in the directory of the respective supplier.

The currently supported model types are as follows:

  • llm Text Generation Model
  • text_embedding Text Embedding Model
  • rerank Rerank Model
  • speech2text Speech to Text
  • tts Text to Speech
  • moderation Moderation

Taking Anthropic as an example, Anthropic only supports LLM, so we create a module named llm in model_providers.anthropic.

For predefined models, we first need to create a YAML file named after the model under the llm module, such as: claude-2.1.yaml.

​
Preparing the Model YAML

model: claude-2.1  # Model identifier
# Model display name, can be set in en_US English and zh_Hans Chinese. If zh_Hans is not set, it will default to en_US.
# You can also not set a label, in which case the model identifier will be used.
label:
  en_US: claude-2.1
model_type: llm  # Model type, claude-2.1 is an LLM
features:  # Supported features, agent-thought supports Agent reasoning, vision supports image understanding
- agent-thought
model_properties:  # Model properties
  mode: chat  # LLM mode, complete for text completion model, chat for dialogue model
  context_size: 200000  # Maximum context size supported
parameter_rules:  # Model invocation parameter rules, only LLM needs to provide
- name: temperature  # Invocation parameter variable name
  # There are 5 preset variable content configuration templates: temperature/top_p/max_tokens/presence_penalty/frequency_penalty
  # You can set the template variable name directly in use_template, and it will use the default configuration in entities.defaults.PARAMETER_RULE_TEMPLATE
  # If additional configuration parameters are set, they will override the default configuration
  use_template: temperature
- name: top_p
  use_template: top_p
- name: top_k
  label:  # Invocation parameter display name
    zh_Hans: 取样数量
    en_US: Top k
  type: int  # Parameter type, supports float/int/string/boolean
  help:  # Help information, describes the parameter's function
    zh_Hans: 仅从每个后续标记的前 K 个选项中采样。
    en_US: Only sample from the top K options for each subsequent token.
  required: false  # Whether it is required, can be omitted
- name: max_tokens_to_sample
  use_template: max_tokens
  default: 4096  # Default parameter value
  min: 1  # Minimum parameter value, only applicable to float/int
  max: 4096  # Maximum parameter value, only applicable to float/int
pricing:  # Pricing information
  input: '8.00'  # Input unit price, i.e., Prompt unit price
  output: '24.00'  # Output unit price, i.e., return content unit price
  unit: '0.000001'  # Price unit, the above price is per 100K
  currency: USD  # Price currency

It is recommended to prepare all model configurations before starting the implementation of the model code.

Similarly, you can refer to the YAML configuration information in the directories of other suppliers under the model_providers directory. The complete YAML rules can be found in: Schema.

​
Implementing Model Invocation Code

Next, create a Python file with the same name llm.py under the llm module to write the implementation code.

Create an Anthropic LLM class in llm.py, which we will name AnthropicLargeLanguageModel (name can be arbitrary), inheriting from the __base.large_language_model.LargeLanguageModel base class, and implement the following methods:

  • LLM Invocation

    Implement the core method for LLM invocation, supporting both streaming and synchronous responses.

    def _invoke(self, model: str, credentials: dict,
            prompt_messages: list[PromptMessage], model_parameters: dict,
            tools: Optional[list[PromptMessageTool]] = None, stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
            stream: bool = True, user: Optional[str] = None) \
        -> Union[LLMResult, Generator]:
    """
    Invoke large language model

    :param model: model name
    :param credentials: model credentials
    :param prompt_messages: prompt messages
    :param model_parameters: model parameters
    :param tools: tools for tool calling
    :param stop: stop words
    :param stream: is stream response
    :param user: unique user id
    :return: full response or stream response chunk generator result
    """

    When implementing, note to use two functions to return data, one for handling synchronous responses and one for streaming responses. Since Python recognizes functions containing the yield keyword as generator functions, returning a fixed data type of Generator, synchronous and streaming responses need to be implemented separately, like this (note the example below uses simplified parameters, actual implementation should follow the parameter list above):

    def _invoke(self, stream: bool, **kwargs) \
        -> Union[LLMResult, Generator]:
    if stream:
          return self._handle_stream_response(**kwargs)
    return self._handle_sync_response(**kwargs)

def _handle_stream_response(self, **kwargs) -> Generator:
    for chunk in response:
          yield chunk
def _handle_sync_response(self, **kwargs) -> LLMResult:
    return LLMResult(**response)

  • Precompute Input Tokens

    If the model does not provide a precompute tokens interface, return 0 directly.

    def get_num_tokens(self, model: str, credentials: dict, prompt_messages: list[PromptMessage],
                   tools: Optional[list[PromptMessageTool]] = None) -> int:
    """
    Get number of tokens for given prompt messages

    :param model: model name
    :param credentials: model credentials
    :param prompt_messages: prompt messages
    :param tools: tools for tool calling
    :return:
    """

  • Model Credentials Validation

    Similar to supplier credentials validation, this validates the credentials for a single model.

    def validate_credentials(self, model: str, credentials: dict) -> None:
    """
    Validate model credentials

    :param model: model name
    :param credentials: model credentials
    :return:
    """

  • Invocation Error Mapping Table

    When a model invocation error occurs, it needs to be mapped to the InvokeError type specified by Runtime, facilitating Dify to handle different errors differently.

    Runtime Errors:

    • InvokeConnectionError Invocation connection error
    • InvokeServerUnavailableError Invocation service unavailable
    • InvokeRateLimitError Invocation rate limit reached
    • InvokeAuthorizationError Invocation authorization failed
    • InvokeBadRequestError Invocation parameter error
    @property
def _invoke_error_mapping(self) -> dict[type[InvokeError], list[type[Exception]]]:
    """
    Map model invoke error to unified error
    The key is the error type thrown to the caller
    The value is the error type thrown by the model,
    which needs to be converted into a unified error type for the caller.

    :return: Invoke error mapping
    """
