Important

Starting from v0.4.7, ModelInfo's required fields will be enforced. So please include all required fields when you use model_info when creating model clients. For example,

from autogen_core.models import UserMessage
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(
    model="llama3.2:latest",
    base_url="http://localhost:11434/v1",
    api_key="placeholder",
    model_info={
        "vision": False,
        "function_calling": True,
        "json_output": False,
        "family": "unknown",
    },
)

response = await model_client.create([UserMessage(content="What is the capital of France?", source="user")])
print(response)

See ModelInfo for more details.
