[Refactor] model family resolution to support non-prefixed names like Mistral (#6158)
This PR improves how model_family is resolved when selecting a
transformer from the registry.
Previously, model families were inferred using a simple prefix-based
match like:
```
if model.startswith(family): ...
```
This works for cleanly prefixed models (e.g., `gpt-4o`, `claude-3`) but
fails for models like `mistral-large-latest`, `codestral-latest`, etc.,
where prefix-based matching is ambiguous or misleading.

To address this:
	•	model_family can now be passed explicitly (e.g., via ModelInfo)
• _find_model_family() is only used as a fallback when the value is
"unknown"
	•	Transformer lookup is now more robust and predictable
• Example integration in to_oai_type() demonstrates this pattern using
self._model_info["family"]

This change is required for safe support of models like Mistral and
other future models that do not follow standard naming conventions.

AutoGen Python packages

0.4 Docs PyPi autogen-core PyPi autogen-agentchat PyPi autogen-ext

This directory works as a single uv workspace containing all project packages. See packages to discover all project packages.

Migrating from 0.2.x?

Please refer to the migration guide for how to migrate your code from 0.2.x to 0.4.x.

Development

TL;DR, run all checks with:

uv sync --all-extras
source .venv/bin/activate
poe check

Setup

uv is a package manager that assists in creating the necessary environment and installing packages to run AutoGen.

Note: To prevent incompatibilities between versions the same UV version as is running in CI should be used. Check the version in CI by looking the setup-uv action, here for example.

For example, to change your version to 0.5.18, run:

uv self update 0.5.18

Virtual Environment

During development, you may need to test changes made to any of the packages.
To do so, create a virtual environment where the AutoGen packages are installed based on the current state of the directory.
Run the following commands at the root level of the Python directory:

uv sync --all-extras
source .venv/bin/activate
  • uv sync --all-extras will create a .venv directory at the current level and install packages from the current directory along with any other dependencies. The all-extras flag adds optional dependencies.
  • source .venv/bin/activate activates the virtual environment.

Common Tasks

To create a pull request (PR), ensure the following checks are met. You can run each check individually:

  • Format: poe format
  • Lint: poe lint
  • Test: poe test
  • Mypy: poe mypy
  • Pyright: poe pyright
  • Build docs: poe --directory ./packages/autogen-core/ docs-build
  • Auto rebuild+serve docs: poe --directory ./packages/autogen-core/ docs-serve
  • Check samples in python/samples: poe samples-code-check Alternatively, you can run all the checks with:
  • poe check

Note

These need to be run in the virtual environment.

Syncing Dependencies

When you pull new changes, you may need to update the dependencies. To do so, first make sure you are in the virtual environment, and then in the python directory, run:

uv sync --all-extras

This will update the dependencies in the virtual environment.

Creating a New Package

To create a new package, similar to autogen-core or autogen-chat, use the following:

uv sync --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activate
cookiecutter ./templates/new-package/
