LLM Clients
Maticlib provides a unified interface for multiple LLM providers. All clients inherit from BaseLLMClient and support both synchronous and asynchronous completion.

Response Models
Standardized models used to ensure consistency across providers.
OpenAI Response
maticlib.llm.openai.openai_classes.OpenAIResponse
Bases: LLMResponseBase
OpenAI Responses API response (/v1/responses).
Maps the raw JSON payload onto the shared LLMResponseBase interface
so callers can use response.content and response.content_parts
the same way they would with MistralResponse or GeminiResponse.
Common (inherited) fields populated automatically: content -- concatenated text from all output_text parts content_parts -- one ContentPart per output_text chunk prompt_tokens -- mapped from usage.input_tokens completion_tokens-- mapped from usage.output_tokens total_tokens -- mapped from usage.total_tokens finish_reason -- mapped from first output item's status response_id -- mapped from top-level id raw_response -- original JSON dict
OpenAI-specific fields
id (str): Response ID (resp_...). object (str): Always "response". created_at (int): Unix timestamp of creation. status (str): Response-level status (completed, failed, ...). output (List[OpenAIOutputMessage]): Ordered list of output items. usage (OpenAIUsage): Detailed token-usage breakdown. model_version (str): Model string echoed back by OpenAI.

cached_tokens
property
Input tokens served from the prompt cache.
A non-zero value means the model reused previously computed KV-cache entries, which are billed at a reduced rate.
reasoning_tokens
property
Tokens used for internal model reasoning (o-series models only).
Returns None for standard GPT models that do not expose
reasoning-token counts.
Mistral Response

Mistral-specific response structure.
Supports both text-only and multimodal (Pixtral) models. Inherits from LLMResponseBase and adds Mistral-specific fields.
Source code in maticlib/llm/mistral/mistral_classes.py
