# LLM provider routing

> @livepeer/agent supports four LLM backends: Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, and Livepeer. Swap providers without changing application code.

  <Tip>Provider swap is a one-line change. The AgentRunner interface is identical regardless of which LLM backend processes the request.</Tip>
</CenteredContainer>

<CustomDivider />

`@livepeer/agent` abstracts LLM access behind a provider interface. The `AgentRunner` accepts any provider that implements the common interface; switching from Gemini to Claude or OpenAI requires changing one import and one constructor argument.

  </tbody>
</StyledTable>

The Livepeer provider routes all LLM calls through Livepeer infrastructure with a single Daydream API key from `daydream.live`. This is the simplest configuration: one key, one provider, all LLM backends available.

<CustomDivider />

## Swapping providers

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dark-plus"}}
import { AgentRunner, ToolRegistry, WorkingMemoryStore, SessionMemoryStore } from '@livepeer/agent';

// Option 1: Gemini directly
import { GeminiProvider } from '@livepeer/agent/providers/gemini';
const provider = new GeminiProvider({ apiKey: process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY! });

// Option 2: Claude directly
import { ClaudeProvider } from '@livepeer/agent/providers/claude';
const provider = new ClaudeProvider({ apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY! });

// Option 3: All LLM calls through Livepeer (single API key)
import { LivepeerProvider } from '@livepeer/agent/providers/livepeer';
const provider = new LivepeerProvider({ apiKey: process.env.DAYDREAM_API_KEY! });

// The runner interface is identical regardless of provider
const runner = new AgentRunner(
  provider,
  new ToolRegistry(),
  new WorkingMemoryStore(),
  new SessionMemoryStore(),
);

const result = await runner.run({ user: 'generate an image of a mountain' });
```

The `AgentRunner` calls `provider.complete()` internally. Each provider translates the common message format to its backend's native API shape. Tool calls, working memory, and session memory work identically across all providers.

<CustomDivider />

## CLI provider selection

The CLI reads the provider from environment variables. Set the API key for the provider you want to use:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dark-plus"}}
# Gemini (default if GEMINI_API_KEY is set)
export GEMINI_API_KEY=your-key
livepeer run flux-schnell --prompt "a mountain at dawn"

# Claude
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key
livepeer run flux-schnell --prompt "a mountain at dawn"

# Livepeer (all backends via single key)
export DAYDREAM_API_KEY=sk_live_xxx
livepeer run flux-schnell --prompt "a mountain at dawn"
```

If multiple API keys are set, the CLI uses this precedence: `DAYDREAM_API_KEY` > `GEMINI_API_KEY` > `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` > `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
