    this.adaptationThreshold = 0.8;
  }

  async adaptToUserBehavior(userInteractions) {
    const patterns = await this.analyzePatterns(userInteractions);
    const adaptations = this.generateAdaptations(patterns);

    return this.applyAdaptations(adaptations);
  }

  async analyzePatterns(interactions) {
    // Implementation of pattern analysis
    // Future: Add machine learning models
  }
}

    this.rateLimits = new Map();
  }

  registerAPI(apiConfig) {
    const {
      name,
      endpoint,
      authentication,
      rateLimit,
      transformers
    } = apiConfig;

    this.supportedAPIs.set(name, {
      endpoint,
      authentication,
      rateLimit,
      transformers
    });
  }

  async handleRequest(apiName, request) {
    const api = this.supportedAPIs.get(apiName);
    if (!api) throw new Error(`API ${apiName} not supported`);

    // Implementation of API handling
    // Future: Add automatic rate limiting and retry logic
  }
}

Emerging Technologies

AI Model Advancements

  1. Model Integration Framework
class ModelIntegration {
  constructor() {
    this.supportedModels = new Set();
    this.modelConfigs = new Map();
  }

  async addModel(modelConfig) {
    const {
      name,
      provider,
      capabilities,
      requirements
    } = modelConfig;

    // Validation and integration logic
    // Future: Add automatic model selection based on task
  }

  async selectOptimalModel(task) {
    return this.rankModels(task, Array.from(this.supportedModels));
  }
}
  1. Enhanced Retrieval Mechanisms
class AdvancedRetrieval {
  constructor() {
    this.retrievalMethods = new Map();
    this.optimizationRules = new Set();
  }

  addRetrievalMethod(method) {
    const {
      name,
      algorithm,
      useCase,
      performance
    } = method;

    this.retrievalMethods.set(name, {
      algorithm,
      useCase,
      performance
    });
  }

  async optimize(query, context) {
