Hi, thanks for building AdalFlow, I added a small client so people can point Generator at Runcrate the same way they do with the xAI or DeepSeek clients.

What does this PR do?

Adds RuncrateClient, a thin subclass of OpenAIClient for Runcrate, an AI cloud with an OpenAI-compatible inference API for open-weight models. It has the same shape as XAIClient: it only changes the default base_url (https://api.runcrate.ai/v1) and the API key variable (RUNCRATE_API_KEY), and overrides no methods. API docs: https://runcrate.ai/docs/models/chat-completions

Changes

• adalflow/adalflow/components/model_client/runcrate_client.py: new RuncrateClient with a docstring and a Generator usage example.
• adalflow/adalflow/components/model_client/__init__.py: lazy import (needs only the openai package, like XAIClient) and __all__ entry, so it is also registered in EntityMapping.
• adalflow/tests/test_runcrate_client.py: defaults, package-level import, sync and async client setup, key from RUNCRATE_API_KEY, custom base_url, and request kwargs.

No new dependency. I did not add an integrations tile because those use logo images; happy to add one if you send the preferred asset.

How tested

In a Python 3.11 venv with pip install -e ".[openai]" pytest pytest-asyncio, from the adalflow/ directory:

• pytest tests/test_runcrate_client.py tests/test_deepseek_client.py tests/test_model_client.py -q: 13 passed.
• black --check on the three touched files: clean. Ruff's newer default rules flag the same typing style the existing xai_client.py has, so I kept that style.
• Live call with a real key: Generator(model_client=RuncrateClient(), model_kwargs={"model": "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash", "stream": False}) returned pong with no error.

Before submitting

• Was this discussed/agreed via a GitHub issue? No, it is a small additive client that follows the existing OpenAI-compatible clients. If you would prefer an issue first, I am glad to open one.
• Did you read the contributor guideline?
• Did you make sure your PR does only one thing?
• Did you make sure to update the documentation with your changes? The client docstring is the documentation, as for the other clients.
• Did you write any new necessary tests?
• Did you verify new and existing tests pass locally with your changes? The ones listed above.
• Did you list all the breaking changes? None.

Disclosure: I work on Runcrate.

This PR was prepared with AI assistance (omp with Claude): the client, tests and this description were written with it, and the commands and the live call above were run as described.
