Proxy Agent

Most of our agents allow you to specify a set of parameters like temperature, model, max_tokens, vendor, etc. However, there are some cases where you might need to define those parameters dynamically.

For example, you might want to use a different temperature or model based on some external factors. This is where the Proxy Agent comes in.

The Proxy Agent allows you to define a set of parameters dynamically for each request using the request body.

Use cases

  • Chat application where you want to allow users to choose their preferred model.
  • A/B testing different parameters to see which one works best.

Should I use this agent?

✅ You need to switch between different parameters for each request.

⛔ You prefer to define the parameters in the agent configuration and make sure they are consistent across all requests.
