codex-ai 0.2.2

Gemini-first and OpenAI provider helpers for Codex

codex-ai

Gemini-first and OpenAI provider helpers for the Codex ecosystem. The library keeps the legacy prompt router for text generation, and exposes direct provider methods for practical Gemini workflows.

Install

pip install codex-ai
pip install "codex-ai[gemini]"
pip install "codex-ai[openai]"
pip install "codex-ai[openai,gemini]"

Requires Python 3.12 or newer.

Gemini Direct API

from pydantic import BaseModel

from codex_ai import GeminiProvider


class LootItem(BaseModel):
    name: str
    power: int


gemini = GeminiProvider(api_key="AIza...")

text = await gemini.generate_text("Write one short tavern rumor.")
loot = await gemini.generate_json("Create one loot item.", schema=LootItem)
image_bytes, content_type = await gemini.generate_image_bytes(
    "A fantasy clan banner, game icon style.",
    model="gemini-2.5-flash-image",
    response_mime_type="image/webp",
)

imagen_bytes, imagen_content_type = await gemini.generate_imagen_bytes(
    "A fantasy clan banner, game icon style.",
    response_mime_type="image/jpeg",
)

answer(prompt) remains available as a compatibility wrapper for text generation.

generate_image_bytes() targets Gemini image models through generate_content and treats response_mime_type as a preferred/fallback MIME type. It does not pass image MIME values to Gemini's text response_mime_type config field. Use generate_imagen_bytes() for Imagen models; that path uses generate_images and passes the requested MIME as output_mime_type.

Router Pipeline

from codex_ai import GeminiProvider, LLMDispatcher, LLMMessage, LLMRouter, PromptResult

router = LLMRouter()


@router.prompt("chat")
async def build_chat(text: str, **kw) -> PromptResult:
    return PromptResult(
        messages=[LLMMessage(role="user", content=text)],
        system="You are a helpful assistant.",
    )


dispatcher = LLMDispatcher(provider=GeminiProvider(api_key="AIza..."))
dispatcher.include_router(router)

response = await dispatcher.process("chat", text="Hello!")
