+## Generate a reply with OpenAI or Gemini
+
+`LLMProvider` sends the input, current state, and up to five recent memories to OpenAI or Gemini. It uses Python's standard library, so no provider SDK is required. Set the provider and its API key in the environment; credentials are never stored in the DODL file:
+
+```bash
+export NOESIS_PROVIDER=openai  # or gemini
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key
+```
+
+For Gemini, set `GEMINI_API_KEY` instead. `NOESIS_PROVIDER` defaults to `openai`. The default models are `gpt-4o-mini` and `gemini-2.0-flash`; override them with `OPENAI_MODEL` or `GEMINI_MODEL` if needed.
+
+```python
+from model.me import AIEngine, LLMProvider
+
+with open("noe-model.dodl", "rb") as model_file:
+    engine = AIEngine.import_model(model_file.read())
+
+provider = LLMProvider()  # Reads NOESIS_PROVIDER and the matching API key
+result = engine.respond({"type": "user_input", "value": "Hello!"}, provider)
+print(result["reply"])
+
+with open("noe-model.dodl", "wb") as model_file:
+    model_file.write(engine.export_model())
+```
+
+`respond()` asks the provider for a text reply, then runs one normal local engine step and returns its result with a `reply` field. The provider generates the conversational reply; it does not choose the engine's action. Provider configuration is runtime-only and does not change the DODL format. `LLMProviderError` is raised for provider request or response errors.

 ## Model format and limits
 
 The file starts with the `DODL` magic signature and a versioned header. It stores JSON metadata followed by the neural network's float32 arrays. The format is intended for this module's serializer and deserializer; it is not a JSON document.

 - `AIEngine.step(input_value)` observes input, chooses and executes an action, evaluates it, learns, updates state, and returns the cycle result.
