Description

The structured_output implementation in the Bedrock and Anthropic model provider call the model with a hard coded tool_choice: auto. The auto option lets the model itself decides whether to use a tool and use which tool. Instead, we want to make sure the tool is used in structured_output function for the sake of performance.

Therefore, following changes are made:

  1. Add a new parameter to Model.stream() that takes in the toolChoice, defaulting to auto;
  2. Plumb it through so that each provider uses it (if they support it)
  3. For providers that use tool calling for structured_output (Bedrock and Anthropic), pass toolChoice=any when calling stream()
  4. Add unit tests
