Roadmap for Extensions.AI

[flintlouis]

Is there a roadmap for Microsoft.Extensions.AI somewhere?
For example which other AI providers will be added to IChatClient besides Ollama, OpenAI and AzureOpenAI?

The intent with Microsoft.Extensions.AI was never to have dotnet/extensions be the source of all implementations. Rather, it's providing the exchange types, with the goal of every client library that provides a client for an AI service then also implementing these abstractions. So, for example, the AWS SDK includes an IChatClient and IEmbeddingGenerator for Bedrock Runtime. The Anthropic.SDK nuget package includes an IChatClient. The ONNX Runtime GenAI nuget package includes an IChatClient. OllamaSharp includes an IChatClient. The Azure.AI.Agents.Persistent nuget package includes an IChatClient. Etc.
