The Modus Models API allows you to invoke AI models directly from your functions, irrespective of the model’s host.

Since many models have unique interfaces, the design of the Models API is extremely flexible. A common base class forms the core of the API, which extends to conform to any model’s required schema.

The SDK contains both the base classes and pre-defined implementations for many commonly used models. You can either use one of the pre-defined classes, or can create custom classes for any model you like, by extending from the base Model class.

For your reference, several complete examples for using the Models API are available in Model Invoking.

Each example demonstrates using different types of AI models for different purposes. However, the Models interface isn’t limited to these purposes. You can use it for any task that an AI model can perform.

​
Import

To begin, import the models namespace from the SDK:

import github.com/hypermodeinc/modus/sdk/go/pkg/models

You’ll also need to import one or more classes for the model you are working with. For example:

import github.com/hypermodeinc/modus/sdk/go/pkg/models/experimental

If you would like to request a new model, please open an issue. You can also send a pull request, if you’d like to contribute a new model yourself.

​
Models APIs

The APIs in the models namespace are below, organized by category.

We’re constantly introducing new APIs through ongoing development with early users. Open an issue if you have ideas on what would make Modus even more powerful for your next app!

​
Functions

​
getModel

Get a model instance by name and type.

models.getModel<T>(modelName: string): T
​
T
Type
required

The type of model to return. This can be any class that extends the Model base class.

​
modelName
string
required

The name of the model to retrieve. This must match the name of a model defined in your project’s manifest file.

​
Objects

​
Model

abstract class Model<TInput, TOutput> {
  debug: boolean;
  info: ModelInfo;
  invoke(input: TInput): TOutput;
}

The base class for all models that Hypermode functions can invoke.

If you are implementing a custom model, you should extend this class. You’ll also need classes to represent the input and output types for your model. See the implementations of the pre-defined models in the models-as repository for examples.

​
TInput
Type
required

The type of the input data for the model. This can be any type, including a custom type defined in your project. It should match the shape of the data expected by the model. It’s usually a class.

​
TOutput
Type
required

The type of the output data from the model. This can be any type, including a custom type defined in your project. It should match the shape of the data returned by the model. It’s usually a class.

​
debug
boolean

A flag to enable debug mode for the model. When enabled, Hypermode automatically logs the full request and response data to the console. implementations can also use this flag to enable additional debug logging. Defaults to false.

​
info
ModelInfo

Information about the model set by the Hypermode Runtime when creating the instance. See the ModelInfo object for more information.

​
invoke(input)
function

Invokes the model with input data and returns the output data.

​
ModelInfo

class ModelInfo {
  readonly name: string;
  readonly fullName: string;
}

Information about a model that’s used to construct a Model instance. It’s also available as a property on the Model class.

This class relays information from the Modus runtime to the model implementation. Generally, you don’t need to create ModelInfo instances directly.

However, if you are implementing a custom model, you may wish to use a property from this class, such as the fullName, for model providers that require the model name in the input request body.

We may add additional properties to this class in the future, as needed.

​
name
string

The name of the model from the app manifest.

​
fullName
string

The full name or identifier of the model, as defined by the model provider.
