// Package model defines the ChatModel component interface for interacting with
// large language models (LLMs).
//
// # Overview
//
// A ChatModel takes a slice of [schema.Message] as input and returns a response
// message — either in full ([BaseChatModel.Generate]) or incrementally as a
// stream ([BaseChatModel.Stream]). It is the most fundamental building block in
// an eino pipeline: every application that talks to an LLM goes through this
// interface.
//
// Concrete implementations (OpenAI, Ark, Ollama, …) live in eino-ext:
//
// github.com/cloudwego/eino-ext/components/model/
//
// # Interface Hierarchy
//
// BaseChatModel — Generate + Stream (all implementations)
// ├── ToolCallingChatModel — preferred; WithTools returns a new instance (concurrency-safe)
// └── ChatModel — deprecated; BindTools mutates state (avoid in new code)
//
// # Choosing Generate vs Stream
//
// Use [BaseChatModel.Generate] when the full response is needed before
// proceeding (e.g. structured extraction, classification).
// Use [BaseChatModel.Stream] when output should be forwarded to the caller
// incrementally (e.g. chat UI, long-form generation). Always close the
// [schema.StreamReader] returned by Stream — failing to do so leaks the
// underlying connection:
//
// reader, err := model.Stream(ctx, messages)
// if err != nil { ... }
// defer reader.Close()
//
// # Implementing a ChatModel
//
// Implementations must call [GetCommonOptions] to extract standard options and
// [GetImplSpecificOptions] to extract their own options from the Option list.
// Expose implementation-specific options via [WrapImplSpecificOptFn].
//
// See https://www.cloudwego.io/docs/eino/core_modules/components/chat_model_guide/
// for the full component guide.
