Pull request overview
This PR introduces multi-provider AI support for Directus, adding Google and OpenAI-compatible providers alongside the existing OpenAI and Anthropic support. It creates a new @directus/ai package to centralize AI-related types and model definitions, implements a provider abstraction layer via registry pattern, and updates AI SDK dependencies from beta to stable versions.
Changes:
- Created
@directus/aipackage with shared types, model definitions, and helper functions - Added Google Gemini and OpenAI-compatible provider support in both API and app
- Implemented provider registry abstraction with configuration building and model validation
- Updated AI SDK packages to stable versions (3.0.x for providers, 6.0.25 for ai core)

These ai features are really coming together! When using Ollama locally, I tried both llama3.2 and llama3.1. I was able to chat using those models, but they couldn't access the tools. That being said, when I used the ollama cloud api endpoint and one of their cloud models, I had no issues, so maybe there is something with my local setup that is preventing access to the tools. I love that we now have the option to add an openai-compatible provider. I think a future improvement could be to allow multiple openai-compatible providers. For example, when I was going between Ollama cloud and my Ollama local setup, I had to edit the single local provider, but I could see a case for someone wanting to use Ollama cloud for some models, and Ollama local for others, so having them both in there would be nice. I think mostly everyone will be using the big providers though, and that experience is really great ❤️ |
