## Returns

**model:** (`MastraLanguageModel | Promise<MastraLanguageModel>`): The language model configured for the agent, either as a direct instance or a promise that resolves to the model.

## Extended usage example

await agent.getModel({
  requestContext: new RequestContext(),
});
```

### Options parameters

**requestContext?:** (`RequestContext`): Request Context for dependency injection and contextual information. (Default: `undefined`)
