## Provider Model Strings
Format: `provider:model-name`
```python
from pydantic_ai import Agent
# OpenAI
Agent('openai:gpt-4o')
Agent('openai:gpt-4o-mini')
Agent('openai:o1-preview')
# Anthropic
Agent('anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-5')
Agent('anthropic:claude-haiku-4-5')
# Google (API Key)
Agent('google-gla:gemini-2.0-flash')
Agent('google-gla:gemini-2.0-pro')
# Google (Vertex AI)
Agent('google-vertex:gemini-2.0-flash')
# Groq
Agent('groq:llama-3.3-70b-versatile')
Agent('groq:mixtral-8x7b-32768')
# Mistral
Agent('mistral:mistral-large-latest')
# Other providers
Agent('cohere:command-r-plus')
Agent('bedrock:anthropic.claude-3-sonnet')
```
## Model Settings
```python
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.settings import ModelSettings
agent = Agent(
'openai:gpt-4o',
model_settings=ModelSettings(
temperature=0.7,
max_tokens=1000,
top_p=0.9,
timeout=30.0, # Request timeout
)
)
# Override per-run
result = await agent.run(
'Generate creative text',
model_settings=ModelSettings(temperature=1.0)
)
```
## Fallback Models
Chain models for resilience:
```python
from pydantic_ai.models.fallback import FallbackModel
# Try models in order until one succeeds
fallback = FallbackModel(
'openai:gpt-4o',
'anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-5',
'google-gla:gemini-2.0-flash'
)
agent = Agent(fallback)
result = await agent.run('Hello')
# Custom fallback conditions
from pydantic_ai.exceptions import ModelAPIError
def should_fallback(error: Exception) -> bool:
"""Only fallback on rate limits or server errors."""
if isinstance(error, ModelAPIError):
return error.status_code in (429, 500, 502, 503)
return False
fallback = FallbackModel(
'openai:gpt-4o',
'anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-5',
fallback_on=should_fallback
)
```
## Streaming Responses
```python
async def stream_response():
async with agent.run_stream('Tell me a story') as response:
