Chat with any provider

Description

This is a generic interface to all the other chat_ functions that allow to you pick the provider and the model with a simple string.

Usage

chat(
  name,
  ...,
  system_prompt = NULL,
  params = NULL,
  echo = c("none", "output", "all")
)

Arguments

name	Provider (and optionally model) name in the form "provider/model" or "provider" (which will use the default model for that provider).
...	Arguments passed to the provider function.
system_prompt	A system prompt to set the behavior of the assistant.
params	Common model parameters, usually created by params().
echo	One of the following options: none: don't emit any output (default when running in a function). output: echo text and tool-calling output as it streams in (default when running at the console). all: echo all input and output. Note this only affects the chat() method.
