# Meta Llama and AIMLAPI runs work again

> Agno runs on the Meta Llama and AIMLAPI models work again. Their message formatting had drifted from OpenAIChat, and every call raised a TypeError.

Every Agno run on the `LlamaOpenAI` and `AIMLAPI` models raised a `TypeError`, and the model layer returned that error as the assistant's answer.

Both providers override `_format_message`, and their overrides no longer matched `OpenAIChat`, which now passes `compress_tool_results` as a positional argument.

The Llama override now matches the base class and passes the flag through. The AIMLAPI override is gone, so `AIMLAPI` uses the base class directly. Compressed tool results now reach both models too.

```python
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.aimlapi import AIMLAPI
from agno.models.meta import LlamaOpenAI

Agent(model=LlamaOpenAI()).print_response("Summarize the benefits of open-source models.")
Agent(model=AIMLAPI()).print_response("Summarize the benefits of open-source models.")
```
