openai-agents-python-providers

Community model providers for the OpenAI Agents SDK.

Because OpenAI's SDK is intentionally focused on first-party integrations, this package provides ready-to-use ModelProvider implementations for locally-hosted and OpenAI-compatible backends:

Installation

pip install openai-agents-python-providers

# or with temporal support
pip install "openai-agents-python-providers[temporal]"

Quickstart

Ollama

Make sure Ollama is running and you have a model pulled:

import asyncio
import os
from agents import Agent, Runner, RunConfig
from openai_agents_providers import OllamaProvider

# Configure via environment or parameters
provider = OllamaProvider(
    model=os.getenv("MODEL_NAME", "llama3.2"),
    base_url=os.getenv("PROVIDER_URL", "http://localhost:11434/v1")
)

agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant.",
)

async def main():
    result = await Runner.run(
        agent,
        "What is the capital of France?",
        run_config=RunConfig(model_provider=provider),
    )
    print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

llama.cpp

Start a llama.cpp server:

llama-server --model my-model.gguf --port 8080

import asyncio
import os
from agents import Agent, Runner, RunConfig
from openai_agents_providers import LlamaCppProvider

provider = LlamaCppProvider(
    base_url=os.getenv("PROVIDER_URL", "http://localhost:8080/v1"),
    model=os.getenv("MODEL_NAME"),  # optional
    api_key="sk-anything",
)

agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant.",
)

async def main():
    result = await Runner.run(
        agent,
        "Explain quantum entanglement in one sentence.",
        run_config=RunConfig(model_provider=provider),
    )
    print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

Temporal Integration

This package works seamlessly with the Temporal OpenAI Agents Plugin. You can use local providers like OllamaProvider or LlamaCppProvider while running agents durably in Temporal workflows.

See examples/temporal/ for a complete "tool-as-activity" demonstration.

# Install temporal dependencies
uv sync --group temporal

# Start the worker (pointing to your infrastructure)
TEMPORAL_ADDRESS="temporal.example.com:7233" \
PROVIDER_TYPE="ollama" \
MODEL_NAME="llama3.2" \
uv run examples/temporal/worker.py

# Start the workflow
TEMPORAL_ADDRESS="temporal.example.com:7233" \
uv run examples/temporal/starter.py "What is the weather where I am?"
