Eduard van Valkenburg 5e056b672e Python: [BREAKING] Python: Provider-leading client design & OpenAI package extraction (#4818)
* Python: Provider-leading client design & OpenAI package extraction

Major refactoring of the Python Agent Framework client architecture:

- Extract OpenAI clients into new `agent-framework-openai` package
- Core package no longer depends on openai, azure-identity, azure-ai-projects
- Rename clients for discoverability: OpenAIResponsesClient → OpenAIChatClient,
  OpenAIChatClient → OpenAIChatCompletionClient
- Unify `model_id`/`deployment_name`/`model_deployment_name` → `model` param
- New FoundryChatClient for Azure AI Foundry Responses API
- New FoundryAgent/FoundryAgentClient for connecting to pre-configured Foundry agents
- Remove OpenAIBase/OpenAIConfigMixin from non-deprecated client MRO
- Deprecate AzureOpenAI* clients, AzureAIClient, OpenAIAssistantsClient
- Reorganize samples: azure_openai+azure_ai+azure_ai_agent → azure/
- ADR-0020: Provider-Leading Client Design

* fix: missing Agent imports in samples, .model_id → .model in foundry_local sample

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix: CI failures — mypy errors, coverage targets, sample imports

- azure-ai mypy: add type ignores for TypedDict total=, model arg, forward ref
- Coverage: replace core.azure/openai targets with openai package target
- project_provider: add type annotation for opts dict

Ollama Examples

This folder contains examples demonstrating how to use Ollama models with the Agent Framework.

Prerequisites

  1. Install Ollama: Download and install Ollama from ollama.com
  2. Start Ollama: Ensure Ollama is running on your local machine
  3. Pull a model: Run ollama pull mistral (or any other model you prefer)
    • For function calling examples, use models that support tool calling like mistral or qwen2.5
    • For reasoning examples, use models that support reasoning like qwen3:8b
    • For multimodal examples, use models like gemma3:4b

Note

: Not all models support all features. Function calling, reasoning, and multimodal capabilities depend on the specific model you're using.

The recommended way to use Ollama with Agent Framework is via the native OllamaChatClient from the agent-framework-ollama package. This provides full support for Ollama-specific features like reasoning mode.

Alternatively, you can use the OpenAIChatClient configured to point to your local Ollama server, which may be useful if you're already familiar with the OpenAI client interface.

Examples

File Description
ollama_agent_basic.py Basic Ollama agent with tool calling using native Ollama Chat Client. Shows both streaming and non-streaming responses.
ollama_agent_reasoning.py Ollama agent with reasoning capabilities using native Ollama Chat Client. Shows how to enable thinking/reasoning mode.
ollama_chat_client.py Direct usage of the native Ollama Chat Client with tool calling.
ollama_chat_multimodal.py Ollama Chat Client with multimodal (image) input capabilities.
ollama_with_openai_chat_client.py Alternative approach using OpenAI Chat Client configured to use local Ollama models.

Configuration

The examples use environment variables for configuration. Set the appropriate variables based on which example you're running:

For Native Ollama Examples

Set the following environment variables:

  • OLLAMA_HOST: The base URL for your Ollama server (optional, defaults to http://localhost:11434)

    • Example: export OLLAMA_HOST="http://localhost:11434"
  • OLLAMA_MODEL_ID: The model name to use

    • Example: export OLLAMA_MODEL_ID="qwen2.5:8b"
    • Must be a model you have pulled with Ollama

For OpenAI Client with Ollama (ollama_with_openai_chat_client.py)

Set the following environment variables:

  • OLLAMA_ENDPOINT: The base URL for your Ollama server with /v1/ suffix

    • Example: export OLLAMA_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:11434/v1/"
  • OLLAMA_MODEL: The model name to use

    • Example: export OLLAMA_MODEL="mistral"
    • Must be a model you have pulled with Ollama
