generate_from_context

generate_from_context(self, action: Component | CBlock, ctx: Context) -> tuple[ModelOutputThunk, Context]
Generates a model output from a context. May not mutate the context. This must be called from a running event loop as it creates a task to run the generation request. Args:
  • action: The last item of the context should be passed in as an action instead of as part of the ctx. See docs/dev/generate_signature_decisions.md.
  • ctx: The rest of the context.
  • format: A response format to used for structured outputs / constrained decoding.
  • model_options: Any model options to upsert into the defaults for this call.
  • tool_calls: If True, then tool calls are extracts from the action Component. Assumption: if tool_calls is enabled, then the action Component has a TemplateRepresentation
Returns:
  • a tuple of (ModelOutputThunk, Context) where the Context is the new context after the generation has been completed.
