Model groups#
Module for handling processing logic using model groups.
This module provides the class for grouping models in document processing workflows. Each model of a group extracts the aspects and concepts routed to it by its role, e.g. to use a smaller model for simpler tasks and a more capable model for more complex ones.
- class contextgem.public.models.DocumentModelGroup(**data)[source]#
Bases:
_DocumentModelGroupRepresents a group of models with unique roles for processing document content.
This class manages multiple models, each of which extracts the aspects and concepts routed to it by its role, e.g. to use a smaller model for simpler tasks and a more capable model for more complex ones. A group can also have decision models (
DocumentDecisionModel) next to its LLMs: a decision model extracts the aspects routed to it, and the concepts routed to it that have values from a closed set of options.- Variables:
models (list[DocumentLLM | DocumentDecisionModel]) – A list of models (DocumentLLM instances, DocumentDecisionModel instances, or both), each with a unique
role. An aspect/concept is extracted by the model with theroleequal to themodel_roleof the aspect/concept, and an aspect/concept withoutmodel_roleis extracted by the model withoutrole. Only one model in the group can have no role. At least 2 instances are required.output_language (LanguageRequirement) – Language for produced output text (justifications, explanations). Values: “en” (always English) or “adapt” (matches document/image language). All LLMs in the group must share the same output_language setting. Defaults to “en”. Applies to the extraction prompts of the LLMs, and to their default system messages. Does not apply to the decision models in the group, which produce no text.
- Parameters:
- Note:
Refer to the
DocumentLLMclass for more information on constructing LLMs for the group.- Example:
- Model group definition#
from contextgem import DocumentLLM, DocumentModelGroup # Create an extractor LLM with a fallback. This LLM has no role, i.e. it extracts # the aspects and concepts that have no `model_role`. extractor = DocumentLLM( model="openai/gpt-6-luna", api_key="your-openai-api-key", # Replace with your actual API key ) # Create a fallback LLM for the extractor extractor_fallback = DocumentLLM( model="anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5", api_key="your-anthropic-api-key", # Replace with your actual API key is_fallback=True, # Must have the same role as the primary LLM (here: no role) ) # Assign the fallback LLM to the primary extractor extractor.fallback_models = [extractor_fallback] # Create a reasoner LLM. A role is a label of your choice: this LLM extracts # the aspects and concepts that have `model_role="reasoner"`. reasoner = DocumentLLM( model="openai/gpt-6.1-sol", api_key="your-openai-api-key", # Replace with your actual API key role="reasoner", # For more complex tasks that require reasoning ) # Create an LLM dedicated to images. This LLM extracts the concepts that have # `model_role="vision"`, e.g. the concepts with `modality="image"`. vision_extractor = DocumentLLM( model="openai/gpt-5.6-luna", api_key="your-openai-api-key", # Replace with your actual API key role="vision", # For extraction from images ) # Create a DocumentModelGroup with all three LLMs model_group = DocumentModelGroup( models=[extractor, reasoner, vision_extractor], output_language="en", # All LLMs must have the same output language ("en" is default) ) # This group will have 4 LLMs: three main ones (one without a role, two with roles), # and one fallback LLM for a specific LLM. Each LLM can have one or more fallback models. # Get usage statistics for the whole group or for a specific role group_usage = model_group.get_usage() reasoner_usage = model_group.get_usage(model_role="reasoner") # Get cost statistics for the whole group or for a specific role all_costs = model_group.get_cost() reasoner_cost = model_group.get_cost(model_role="reasoner") # Reset usage and cost statistics for the whole group or for a specific role model_group.reset_usage_and_cost() model_group.reset_usage_and_cost(model_role="reasoner")
Create a new model by parsing and validating input data from keyword arguments.
Raises [ValidationError][pydantic_core.ValidationError] if the input data cannot be validated to form a valid model.
self is explicitly positional-only to allow self as a field name.
- _eq_deserialized_llm_config(other)#
Custom config equality method to compare this _DocumentModelGroup with a deserialized instance.
Uses the _eq_deserialized_model_config method of each model in the group, of any kind, to compare it with its counterpart, including fallbacks, if any.
- Parameters:
other (
contextgem.internal.base.models._DocumentModelGroup) – Another _DocumentModelGroup instance to compare with- Returns:
True if the instances are equal, False otherwise
- Return type:
- extract_all(document, *, overwrite_existing=False, max_items_per_call=0, use_concurrency=False, max_paragraphs_to_analyze_per_call=0, max_images_to_analyze_per_call=0, raise_exception_on_extraction_error=True)#
Extracts all aspects and concepts from a document and its aspects.
This method performs comprehensive extraction by processing the document for aspects and concepts, then extracting concepts from each aspect. The operation can be configured for concurrent processing and customized extraction parameters.
This is the synchronous version of extract_all_async().
- Parameters:
document (

Use this option when API rate limits allow for multiple concurrent requests. Defaults to False.max_paragraphs_to_analyze_per_call (
int) – Maximum paragraphs to include in a single LLM prompt. A decision model is sent each paragraph in a request of its own for aspects, whatever the value. For concepts, it is sent a text with more paragraphs in parts of at most that many paragraphs, each in a request of its own: a concept then gets an extracted item for each part, and a concept withsingular_occurrence=Trueis rejected withValueError. Defaults to 0 (all paragraphs). Cannot be negative.max_images_to_analyze_per_call (
int) – Maximum images to include in a single LLM prompt. Defaults to 0 (all images). Cannot be negative. Relevant only for document-level concepts.raise_exception_on_extraction_error (
