Description

Adds the OpenAI inference provider (OpenAIInferenceProvider) backed by Pydantic AI:

  • Builds PAI OpenAIProvider from configured API key and base URL
  • Discovers models via the OpenAI models list API
  • Creates LLM (OpenAIResponsesModel) and embedding (OpenAIEmbeddingModel) instances
  • Rejects rerank with ModelTypeNotSupportedError
  • Infers catalog model type from shared Pydantic AI known-name tables (model_type_inference)
  • Registers the provider in PROVIDER_CLASSES
  • Adds _get_provider on the inference ABC for initialized PAI provider access

Unit tests cover discovery, catalog allow-list behavior, creators, and model-type inference.

Checklist before requesting a review

  • I have performed a self-review of my code.
  • PR has passed all pre-merge test jobs.
  • If it is a core feature, I have added thorough tests.

Testing

  • uv run pytest tests/unit/providers/inference/openai tests/unit/providers/inference/test_model_type_inference.py -q
  • uv run make format && uv run make verify (or targeted pyright/ruff/pydocstyle on touched files)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for connecting to OpenAI using a configured API key and base URL.
    • OpenAI models can be discovered and identified as language or embedding models, with support for creating both types.
    • Reranking models are not supported by the OpenAI provider.

Walkthrough

The inference package now includes an OpenAI provider. It configures the provider, discovers models, infers model types, creates LLM and embedding models, and rejects rerank creation. Unit tests cover provider configuration and these behaviors.

Changes

OpenAI inference provider

Layer / File(s) Summary
Known model type inference
src/providers/inference/model_type_inference.py, tests/unit/providers/inference/test_model_type_inference.py
Known Pydantic AI model aliases are converted to unprefixed ID sets. The inference function maps known IDs to embedding or llm and returns None for unknown IDs. Tests cover these mappings.
Provider setup, model operations, and registration
src/providers/inference/base.py, src/providers/inference/openai/*, src/providers/inference/registry.py, tests/unit/providers/inference/openai/*
The OpenAI provider uses the configured API key and base URL. It discovers models, creates Responses API and embedding models, and raises ModelTypeNotSupportedError for rerank creation. The provider is exported and registered. Tests cover configuration and provider operations.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b938e

The new OpenAI provider works for known models, but two issues should be fixed before merging. The new tests currently fail the Python lint check. Without an allow-list, discovery also lists every unrecognized OpenAI model, such as transcription models, as a chat model, so users can select models that cannot answer chat requests. Plain-HTTP endpoints remain a supported configuration.

Full details: Security And Secret Handling

Explanation

PASSED. In src/providers/inference/openai/provider.py:38-41, the API key comes from SecretStr.get_secret_value() and is passed to OpenAIProvider; it is not hardcoded or logged. The only changed API call is the authenticated OpenAI models request at lines 50-51. The diff adds no API endpoint, SQL/command/path handling, sensitive response or log output, or Kubernetes Secret/RH Secret manifest. Test-only test-key values are dummy fixtures.

Full details: Performance And Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

The new OpenAI discovery path performs an unbounded list operation without pagination or a limit. src/providers/inference/openai/provider.py:50 calls client.models.list() once and :51-56 processes only response.data. The OpenAI models endpoint is paginated, so discovery can omit models after the first page and can load an unnecessarily large page into memory. The added test at tests/unit/providers/inference/openai/test_provider.py:69 also locks in a no-argument, single-page call.

Resolution

Update _discover_models to consume all pages through the OpenAI client's async pagination support, or apply an explicit bounded limit when the configured behavior permits it. Add a test that returns multiple pages and verifies that discovery handles the page boundary without extra unbounded work.

Review comments at @src/providers/inference/openai/provider.py:
- Around line 53-54: Update automatic model discovery around _infer_model_type
to exclude models whose capabilities are unsupported instead of defaulting
unknown IDs to "llm"; preserve the explicit configuration path for custom LLM
IDs.

Review comments at @tests/unit/providers/inference/openai/test_provider.py:
- Line 109: Update the assertion in the test using model._provider to avoid an
unsuppressed protected-member access: assert the provider configuration through
a public API, or add a targeted W0212 suppression if identity must be checked.
- Around line 16-17: Rename the `provider` fixture function to avoid shadowing
the `provider` test parameters, while preserving its injected fixture name with
`@pytest.fixture(name="provider")`. Update any references to the function itself
as needed.

Learning: In this repository, it is acceptable for Python package `__init__.py` files to contain functional code (not only docstrings/metadata) and to perform package-level re-exports. Do not flag `__init__.py` solely for containing imports or other logic used to re-export symbols; this is allowed when it’s implemented via imports and `__all__` (or otherwise clearly intended to define the package’s public API).
