What are Models? - Agno

Models act as the brain of the Agent - helping it reason, act, and respond to the user. The better the model, the smarter the Agent.

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat

agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    description="Share 15 minute healthy recipes.",
    markdown=True,
)
agent.print_response("Share a breakfast recipe.", stream=True)

Error handling

You can set exponential_backoff to True on the Agent to automatically retry requests that fail due to third-party model provider errors.

agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    exponential_backoff=True,
    retries=2,
    retry_delay=1,
)
