From 45498172902d49aa4275a0831058cf891be79f5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Federico Kamelhar Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 09:29:31 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] docs: add OCI Generative AI recipe Route between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Generative AI models through the service's OpenAI-compatible endpoint with a compartment-scoped Generative AI API key. Covers the endpoint and credential setup (policy before key), a capability route and a stage route over OCI model IDs, the Python host path, and the endpoint's known limits. Validated against the released v0.3.0 server with --dry-run; adds the page under Integrate Switchyard > Model Providers.

Keeps the recipe's text routing example as is and tells agent builders which efficient target to pick.
