trivialai 0.7.1

A trivial set of API bindings for AI models, because I'd like them to be easy to use.

TrivialAI

(A set of trivial bindings for AI models)

Install

pip install trivialai
# Optional: HTTP/2 for OpenAI/Anthropic
# pip install "trivialai[http2]"
# Optional: AWS Bedrock support (via boto3)
# pip install "trivialai[bedrock]"
# Optional: Google Gemini support
# pip install "trivialai[gemini]"

Requirements

• Python ≥ 3.10 (the codebase uses X | Y type unions)
• Uses httpx for HTTP-based providers, boto3 for Bedrock, and google-genai for Gemini

---

Quick start

>>> from trivialai import claude, gemini, ollama, chatgpt, bedrock

Note: The legacy gcp module (backed by vertexai.generative_models) has been removed. Use gemini.Gemini instead — it supports both the Gemini Developer API and Vertex AI, and provides text and image generation through a single client.

---

Credentials

Anthropic (Claude)

Use an Anthropic Console API key directly:

claude.Claude("claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022", os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"])

OpenAI (ChatGPT)

Use an OpenAI Platform API key:

chatgpt.ChatGPT("gpt-4o-mini", os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"])

Google Gemini

Go to Google AI Studio, sign in with a Google account, and click "Get API key" → "Create API key" in the left sidebar. The key starts with AIza.... No billing setup is required for the free tier.

gemini.Gemini(api_key=os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"])

For Vertex AI (service account or Application Default Credentials), see the Vertex AI auth section below.

AWS Bedrock

1. Enable Bedrock and request model access in a supported region via the AWS Console.
2. Ensure your IAM user/role has bedrock:Converse* and bedrock:InvokeModel* permissions.
3. Provide credentials via aws configure, environment variables, instance role, or explicit keys.

bedrock.Bedrock(
    model_id="us.anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0",
    region="us-east-1",
)

Synchronous usage

Ollama

>>> client = ollama.Ollama("gemma2:2b", "http://localhost:11434/")
>>> client.generate("sys msg", "Say hi with 'platypus'.").content
"Hi there—platypus!"
>>> client.generate_json("sys msg", "Return {'name': 'Platypus'} as JSON").content
{'name': 'Platypus'}

Claude (Anthropic API)

>>> client = claude.Claude("claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620", os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"])
>>> client.generate("sys msg", "Say hi with 'platypus'.").content
"Hello, platypus!"

ChatGPT (OpenAI API)

>>> client = chatgpt.ChatGPT("gpt-4o-mini", os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"])
>>> client.generate("sys msg", "Say hi with 'platypus'.").content
"Hello, platypus!"

Gemini (Google) — text + image

Gemini is a unified client: one object, one set of credentials, two capabilities. model targets text generation; image_model targets image generation. Both default to sensible values, so you can use either or both.

# Text generation
>>> gem = gemini.Gemini(api_key=os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"])
>>> gem.generate(
...     system="Reply concisely.",
...     prompt="What is the capital of France?",
... ).content
"Paris."

# Image generation (txt2img)
>>> img = gem.generate_image("A corgi in a spacesuit floating above the Earth")
>>> img.file()
'/tmp/trivialai-img-ho9ftavj.png'

# Image editing (img2img)
>>> edited = gem.generate_image("Make it sunset colours", image=img)
>>> edited.file()
'/tmp/trivialai-img-x7q2kl1m.png'

Image and text models are independent — you can override either per-call or at construction:

gem = gemini.Gemini(
    model="gemini-3-pro-preview",                     # text model
    image_model="gemini-3-pro-image-preview",         # image model (Nano Banana Pro)
    api_key=os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"],
)

To discover what models are available on your key:

>>> gem.models()
{'text': [{'name': 'models/gemini-3-flash-preview', ...}, ...],
 'image': [{'name': 'models/gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview', ...}, ...]}

>>> gem.text_model_names()
['models/gemini-3-flash-preview', 'models/gemini-3-pro-preview', ...]
>>> gem.image_model_names()
['models/gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview', 'models/gemini-3-pro-image-preview', ...]

Vertex AI auth

# Service account JSON file (project auto-read from the file)
gem = gemini.Gemini(vertex_api_creds="/path/to/sa.json", region="us-central1")

# Application Default Credentials (gcloud auth application-default login)
gem = gemini.Gemini(project="my-gcp-project", region="us-central1", use_vertexai=True)

Bedrock (AWS) — text + image

Bedrock is also a unified client. model_id targets text (via the Converse API); image_model_id targets image generation (via InvokeModel). Both are optional and independent.

client = bedrock.Bedrock(
    model_id="us.anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0",
    image_model_id="amazon.nova-canvas-v1:0",           # default
    region="us-east-1",
    aws_access_key_id=os.environ["AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"],
    aws_secret_access_key=os.environ["AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"],
)

# Text
res = client.generate(
    system="You are a helpful assistant.",
    prompt="Explain neural networks in one sentence.",
)
print(res.content)

# Image (txt2img)
img = client.generate_image("A watercolour fox reading a book in an autumn forest")
img.file()   # → '/tmp/trivialai-img-4ai11zoz.png'

# Image (img2img)
edited = client.generate_image("Add snow", image=img)

Supported image models: Nova Canvas (amazon.nova-canvas-v1:0), Titan Image (amazon.titan-image-generator-v2:0), and Stability AI (stability.*).

To discover available models in your region:

>>> client.models()
{'text': [{'model_id': 'anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0', ...}, ...],
 'image': [{'model_id': 'amazon.nova-canvas-v1:0', ...}, ...]}

>>> client.image_model_ids()
['amazon.nova-canvas-v1:0', 'amazon.titan-image-generator-v2:0', ...]

Choosing the right model_id

Bedrock distinguishes between foundation model IDs (anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0) and inference profile IDs (us.anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0). Some models/regions require the region-prefixed profile ID. If you get a validation error about on-demand throughput, switch to the us. / eu. prefixed form.

Streaming (NDJSON-style events) via BiStream

All providers expose a common streaming shape via stream(...).

Important: stream(...) (and helpers like stream_checked(...) / stream_json(...)) return a BiStream, which supports both sync and async iteration.

LLM event schema

• {"type":"start", "provider":"<ollama|openai|anthropic|gemini|bedrock>", "model":"..."}
• {"type":"delta", "text":"...", "scratchpad":"..."}
  • Ollama: scratchpad may contain content extracted from <think>…</think>.
  • Gemini: scratchpad carries native thought tokens (no tag parsing needed).
  • Other providers: scratchpad is typically "" in deltas.
• {"type":"end", "content":"...", "scratchpad": <str|None>, "tokens": <int|None>}
• {"type":"error", "message":"..."}

stream_checked(...) / stream_json(...) append a final parse event:

• {"type":"final", "ok": true|false, "parsed": ..., "error": ..., "raw": ...}

Image stream event schema

Image generation via imagestream(...) yields:

• {"type":"start", "provider":"...", "model":"...", "mode":"txt2img"|"img2img"}
• {"type":"progress", "progress": 0.0–1.0, "state":"...", "textinfo":"..."} (where supported)
• {"type":"end", "image": ImageResult, "model":"...", "mode":"..."}
• {"type":"error", "message":"..."}

Note on Gemini / Bedrock image streaming: both APIs are single-shot REST calls with no server-sent progress. The stream emits a synthetic progress: 0.0 event immediately before the blocking call (so progress-bar consumers see activity), then an end event when the image resolves. The end payload is identical to other providers.

Example: streaming text (sync)

client = ollama.Ollama("gemma2:2b", "http://localhost:11434/")

for ev in client.stream("sys", "Explain, think step-by-step."):
    if ev["type"] == "delta":
        print(ev["text"], end="")
    elif ev["type"] == "end":
        print("\n-- scratchpad --")
        print(ev["scratchpad"])

Example: streaming + parse-at-end

from trivialai.util import loadch

for ev in client.stream_checked(loadch, "sys", "Return a JSON object gradually."):
    if ev["type"] == "final":
        print("Parsed JSON:", ev["parsed"])

# Shortcut:
for ev in client.stream_json("sys", "Return {'name':'Platypus'} as JSON."):
    if ev["type"] == "final":
        print("Parsed:", ev["parsed"])

Example: streaming image (Gemini)

gem = gemini.Gemini(api_key=os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"])

for ev in gem.imagestream("A rainy Tokyo street at night, neon reflections"):
    if ev["type"] == "progress":
        print(f"  {ev['textinfo']}")
    elif ev["type"] == "end":
        ev["image"].file("tokyo.png")

Example: streaming image (Bedrock)

client = bedrock.Bedrock(image_model_id="amazon.nova-canvas-v1:0", region="us-east-1")

for ev in client.imagestream("A watercolour fox reading a book in an autumn forest"):
    if ev["type"] == "end":
        ev["image"].file("fox.png")

Example: streaming text (async)

async for ev in client.stream("sys", "Stream something."):
    ...

BiStream: one stream interface for sync + async

from trivialai.bistream import BiStream

BiStream[T] wraps a sync Iterable[T], an async AsyncIterable[T], or another BiStream[T] and exposes both iterator interfaces.

Key behaviour:

• Single-consumer: once consumed, exhausted.
• Mode-locked: a given instance may be consumed either sync or async.
• Bridging: async → sync driven by a background event loop thread; sync → async wraps next().

---

Chaining streams with then / map / mapcat / branch

All combinators are mode-preserving (sync in → sync out, async in → async out).

then(...): append a follow-up stage after upstream terminates

pipeline = client.stream("sys", "Answer, streaming.").then(lambda: [
    {"type": "note", "text": "stream ended"},
])

Your follow-up can be 0-arg or 1-arg (done receives StopIteration.value if present).

map(...): transform each event

pipeline = client.stream("sys", "Stream.").map(
    lambda ev: (ev | {"text": ">> " + ev["text"]}) if ev.get("type") == "delta" else ev
)

mapcat(...): per-item stream expansion (flatMap), with optional concurrency

events = BiStream(["a.py", "b.py", "c.py"]).mapcat(
    lambda path: agent.streamed(f"Analyze {path}"),
    concurrency=8,
)

branch(...): fan-out, then fan-in via .sequence() / .interleave()

base = client.stream("sys", "First: describe the plan.")
fan  = base.branch(["doc1", "doc2", "doc3"],
                   lambda doc: client.stream("sys", f"Summarize: {doc}"))
for ev in fan.interleave(concurrency=8):
    handle(ev)

---

Extra helpers

tap(...): side effects without changing events

stream = client.stream("sys", "Stream.").tap(lambda ev: log(ev))

repeat_until(...): agent loops

from trivialai.bistream import repeat_until, is_type

looped = repeat_until(
    src=client.stream("sys", "First attempt..."),
    step=lambda driver: client.stream("sys", f"Next attempt, based on {driver}..."),
    stop=is_type("final"),
    max_iters=10,
)

---

Embeddings

from trivialai.embedding import OllamaEmbedder

embed = OllamaEmbedder(model="nomic-embed-text", server="http://localhost:11434")
vec = embed("hello world")

---

Notes & compatibility

• Dependencies: httpx for HTTP providers; boto3 for Bedrock; google-genai + optionally google-auth for Gemini.
• Scratchpad: Ollama surfaces <think> content; Gemini routes native thought tokens; other providers emit scratchpad="" in deltas and None in the final end.
• gcp module removed: the old gcp.GCP class (backed by vertexai.generative_models, deprecated June 2025) has been removed. Migrate to gemini.Gemini — it supports all three auth modes the old class did, plus image generation.
• BiStream: single-use and single-consumer — don't consume the same instance from multiple tasks.
