feat: Add a Unified Model Providers configuration

Open HimavarshaVS opened this issue 1 month ago • 3 comments

PR Summary: Unified Model Providers Configuration

Overview

This PR introduces a centralized system for managing AI model providers and configurations across Langflow, moving from provider-specific implementations to a unified, dynamic approach.

Key Features Added

1. New API Endpoints (/models and /model_options)

  • Model Catalog Management:

    • List available model providers
    • Filter models by provider, type, and metadata (tool_calling, reasoning, deprecated, etc.)
    • Retrieve provider-to-credential mappings
  • User-Specific Model Management:

    • Get enabled providers for current user
    • Get/update enabled/disabled models per user
    • Set/get/clear default models for language and embedding types
  • Model Options:

    • Language model options endpoint
    • Embedding model options endpoint

2. Variable Management

  • Variable validation for model provider keys
  • Filter internal variables (names with __prefix__) from API responses
  • Enhanced variable creation/retrieval/deletion

3. Component Refactoring (20+ Starter Projects)

Unified all language model components from provider-specific implementations to a generic approach:

Before:

inputs = [
    DropdownInput(name="provider", options=["OpenAI", "Anthropic", ...]),
    DropdownInput(name="model_name", options=[...]),
    SecretStrInput(name="api_key"),
    # ... provider-specific fields
]

After:

inputs = [
    ModelInput(name="model", providers=[...], dynamic_options=True),
    SecretStrInput(name="api_key"),
    # ... unified fields
]

Affected Projects:

  • Basic Prompt Chaining, Basic Prompting, Blog Writer
  • Custom Component Generator, Financial Report Parser, Invoice Summarizer
  • Memory Chatbot, News Aggregator, Nvidia Remix, Pokédex Agent
  • Price Deal Finder, Research Translation Loop, SEO Keyword Generator
  • SaaS Pricing, Search Agent, Social Media Agent, Text Sentiment Analysis
  • And more...

4. Cleanup

  • Removed unused forward imports from openai_constants.py
  • Added docstring to Alembic versions module

Technical Highlights

  • Backend Service Integration: Uses DatabaseVariableService for user-scoped variable storage (disabled models, default models)
  • Dynamic Configuration: Components now use get_llm() and update_model_options_in_build_config() helpers for runtime model resolution
  • Provider Prioritization: Default model provider appears first, followed by enabled providers, then alphabetical
  • Metadata-Driven: Model enablement considers provider status, deprecation flags, and user preferences

Impact

  • Simplifies model provider integration
  • Enables runtime model discovery and configuration
  • Provides consistent UX across all language model components
  • Centralizes model credential management
  • Supports future provider additions without component changes

This is a significant architectural improvement that standardizes model handling across the entire Langflow platform.

Walkthrough

Introduces new v1 API endpoints for model management and provider discovery, integrating with a DatabaseVariableService to track user-specific model enablement and defaults. Concurrently, updates 17 starter project JSON templates to replace provider-specific language model inputs with a unified, dynamic ModelInput-based configuration, and removes re-exported OpenAI model constants.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
New Model Management API
src/backend/base/langflow/api/router.py, src/backend/base/langflow/api/v1/__init__.py
Registered two new routers (models_router and model_options_router) in the v1 API module; exposed routers in public API exports.
Model Providers & Listing Endpoints
src/backend/base/langflow/api/v1/models.py
Added 8 new endpoints: list_model_providers(), list_models(), get_model_provider_mapping(), get_enabled_providers(), get_enabled_models(), update_enabled_models(), get_default_model(), set_default_model(), clear_default_model(). Integrates DatabaseVariableService for persistence of user-scoped disabled/default models. Introduced ModelStatusUpdate and DefaultModelRequest data models.
Model Options Endpoints
src/backend/base/langflow/api/v1/model_options.py
Added two GET endpoints under /model_options: get_language_model_options_endpoint() and get_embedding_model_options_endpoint() for returning user-specific model options.
Variable API Updates & Validation
src/backend/base/langflow/api/v1/variable.py
Added reserved-variable validation for model provider keys via validate_model_provider_key(). Implemented filtering to exclude internal variables (names starting and ending with __) from read responses. Imported model provider mapping utilities.
OpenAI Constants Cleanup
src/backend/base/langflow/base/models/openai_constants.py
Removed forward re-exports of OPENAI_EMBEDDING_MODEL_NAMES and OPENAI_MODEL_NAMES and their __all__ entries.
Starter Project Refactoring
src/backend/base/langflow/initial_setup/starter_projects/{Basic Prompt Chaining, Basic Prompting, Blog Writer, Custom Component Generator, Financial Report Parser, Invoice Summarizer, Memory Chatbot, News Aggregator, Nvidia Remix, Pokédex Agent, Price Deal Finder, Research Translation Loop, SEO Keyword Generator, SaaS Pricing, Search agent, Social Media Agent, Text Sentiment Analysis}.json
Replaced provider-specific LanguageModelComponent/AgentComponent inputs (DropdownInput for provider/model_name, static inputs per provider) with unified ModelInput-based configuration. Updated node/edge IDs, removed legacy provider-specific fields (e.g., openai_api_base, base_url, project_id, max_output_tokens), renamed API key display labels, and regenerated graph positions. Migrated component build logic from explicit per-provider branches to centralized get_llm pathway.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 4 (Complex) | ⏱️ ~75 minutes

Areas requiring extra attention:

  • src/backend/base/langflow/api/v1/models.py — Dense logic with provider aggregation, per-provider model enablement computation combining provider status, model metadata (deprecated/not_supported flags), and user-disabled lists; DatabaseVariableService integration for persistence; sorting prioritizing default provider first.
  • Model default and disabled-model persistence — JSON parsing, variable store key naming, and fallback handling for missing/malformed variables require careful verification of edge cases (e.g., missing default-model variable should not error).
  • Variable API reserved-key validation — The new validate_model_provider_key() check in create_variable() endpoint blocks creation of variables matching provider keys; verify it integrates correctly with existing tests and does not block legitimate variable creation.
  • Starter project refactoring scope — 17 files with similar but distinct structural changes (node ID regeneration, field renaming, input model conversion). While the pattern is consistent, verify a sample of each project type (Agent-based, Component-based, Chat-based) to ensure component signatures are correctly translated and that the new ModelInput-based configuration is applied uniformly.
  • Backward compatibility — Verify that existing stored disabled-models and default-model variables are correctly parsed and migrated (or handled gracefully if missing/malformed).

Possibly related PRs

  • langflow-ai/langflow#8268 — Introduced unified/detailed model metadata catalog (get_unified_models_detailed) and provider-variable mappings that are directly consumed by the new /models endpoints.
  • langflow-ai/langflow#8708 — Refactored LanguageModelComponent and starter-project templates to use unified provider-agnostic ModelInput, directly overlapping with the starter-project JSON updates in this PR.
  • langflow-ai/langflow#10471 — Adds provider-specific model fetch helpers (fetch_ibm_models/fetch_ollama_models) for IBM watsonx.ai/Ollama; this PR removes in-method per-provider logic in favor of centralized option-fetching, so the two refactor the same code paths in opposite directions.

@erichare I've completed a comprehensive assessment of PR #10565. Here are my findings:

⚠️ Important: Commit Hash Discrepancy

The branch is currently at commit bd3a45c10fd (autofix attempt 2/3), but you requested 03183dfc6a5b (autofix attempt 3/3). The requested commit exists in the history but isn't the current HEAD. Please verify which commit should be reviewed.


1️⃣ QUALITY ASSESSMENT: GOOD (7/10)

✅ Strengths:

  • Well-structured code: Clear separation of concerns with dedicated routers, models, and helper functions
  • Comprehensive input validation: Pydantic models with custom validators (@field_validator) enforcing length limits and non-empty strings
  • Robust error handling: Consistent try/except patterns with appropriate HTTPException responses
  • Audit logging: Sensitive operations (model updates, default changes) are logged with user IDs
  • Security constants: MAX_STRING_LENGTH=200, MAX_BATCH_UPDATE_SIZE=100 prevent abuse
  • Test coverage: Multiple test files exist (test_models_api.py, test_models_enabled_providers.py)
  • Type safety: Comprehensive type hints throughout
  • API key validation: Calls validate_model_provider_key asynchronously when creating/updating provider credentials

⚠️ Issues:

  1. Missing database migration: PR description mentions "adds a category column to the variable table" but no such Alembic migration exists
  2. Broad exception catching: Several except Exception as e blocks (lines 151, 250, 425 in models.py)
  3. Heavy JSON serialization: Storing model lists as JSON strings in variables could impact performance at scale
  4. Inconsistent variable cleanup: Internal variables (e.g., __disabled_models__) are filtered from read_variables but created alongside user variables

2️⃣ SECURITY ROBUSTNESS: MODERATE (6/10)

✅ Strengths:

  • Authentication enforced: All endpoints require CurrentActiveUser dependency
  • Input validation: String length limits (200 chars), batch size limits (100 items), Pydantic validators
  • SQL injection protection: Uses SQLAlchemy ORM with parameterized queries
  • User isolation: Operations scoped to current_user.id prevent unauthorized access
  • Audit trails: Logs user actions for model configuration changes
  • API key validation: External validation (validate_model_provider_key) before storing credentials
  • Internal variable filtering: Variables starting/ending with __ hidden from public listing

🚨 Critical Security Gaps:

  1. NO RATE LIMITING: Endpoints like /models/enabled_models (POST) lack rate limiting, enabling:

    • Brute force attacks on API key validation
    • DoS via repeated large batch updates
    • Resource exhaustion through repeated JSON parsing
  2. Batch size concerns: MAX_BATCH_UPDATE_SIZE=100 is high; a malicious actor could repeatedly update 100 models to exhaust resources

  3. No timeout on external calls: validate_model_provider_key has no visible timeout, risking hanging requests

  4. Exception suppression: Line 151 in models.py silences exceptions when fetching default models (# noqa: BLE001)

  5. Dependency on external validation: Security relies on lfx.base.models.unified_models.validate_model_provider_key whose implementation isn't visible

Recommendations:

# Add rate limiting (example using slowapi)
from slowapi import Limiter
from slowapi.util import get_remote_address

limiter = Limiter(key_func=get_remote_address)

@router.post("/enabled_models", status_code=200)
@limiter.limit("10/minute")  # Limit to 10 updates per minute
async def update_enabled_models(...):
    ...

3️⃣ MERGE WORTHINESS: CONDITIONAL APPROVAL (⚠️ Requires Fixes)

  1. Missing database migration: PR description claims category column addition but no migration found. This could cause:

    • Runtime errors if code expects the column
    • Data integrity issues
    • Failed deployments
  2. Commit hash mismatch: Current HEAD ≠ requested commit for review

⚠️ High-Risk Areas:

  1. Large surface area: Updates to 19 starter project JSON files with substantial LanguageModelComponent refactoring

    • Risk: Breaking existing user flows
    • Mitigation: Requires thorough integration testing
  2. No rate limiting: Production deployment could be vulnerable immediately

  3. Variable service assumptions: Code assumes DatabaseVariableService with isinstance checks but no fallback logic

✅ Positive Signals:

  • Non-breaking API changes: Only adds new endpoints
  • Clean router integration: Simple 2-line additions to router.py
  • Test coverage: Tests exist for core functionality
  • Follows conventions: Consistent with existing codebase patterns
  • User isolation: Proper scoping prevents cross-user data leakage

📋 Recommendations Before Merge:

Must-Have:

  1. Resolve commit discrepancy - checkout 03183dfc6a5b or clarify intent
  2. Add/verify category migration - Check if it was accidentally excluded or if PR description is incorrect
  3. Implement rate limiting - At minimum on POST endpoints
  4. Integration tests - Verify starter projects load correctly with new component structure

Should-Have:

  1. Add timeout to validate_model_provider_key calls
  2. Lower MAX_BATCH_UPDATE_SIZE to 50 or add exponential backoff
  3. Add API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger annotations)
  4. Consider caching for get_model_provider_variable_mapping() (called frequently)

Nice-to-Have:

  1. Add metrics/monitoring for model configuration changes
  2. Consider pagination for /models endpoint if catalog grows large
  3. Add validation that model_name/provider exist before setting as default

🎯 Final Verdict:

Conditional Merge - Code quality is good and architecture is sound, but blocking issues must be resolved:

  • Clarify missing category migration
  • Add rate limiting
  • Verify commit hash

Once addressed, this PR provides a solid foundation for unified model provider management with proper security boundaries.
