Lucas Zhu a2b92caab0 feat(genai): add Atlas Cloud as an OpenAI-compatible GenAI provider
Add an `atlas` GenAI provider backed by Atlas Cloud, an OpenAI-compatible
inference platform serving vision-capable models. The provider subclasses
the existing OpenAIClient and only defaults the base_url to the Atlas
endpoint, reusing all vision, streaming, reasoning, and tool-calling logic.

<b><a href="https://www.atlascloud.ai/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=frigate">Atlas Cloud</a></b> is an OpenAI-compatible inference platform that can power Frigate's
<a href="https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/genai/">Generative AI</a> features as a drop-in multimodal LLM backend.
Point the <code>atlas</code> provider at Atlas Cloud and use a vision-capable model
(such as <code>qwen/qwen3-vl-235b-a22b-thinking</code> or <code>Qwen/Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct</code>)
to generate natural-language object and review descriptions from detection frames —
no local GPU required. See the <a href="https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/genai/">GenAI configuration docs</a>
to get started, or grab a <a href="https://www.atlascloud.ai/console/coding-plan">coding plan</a>.

<summary>Vision-capable Atlas Cloud models for GenAI descriptions</summary>
Frigate's GenAI features require a **vision-capable** model. Good multimodal choices on Atlas Cloud include:
- `qwen/qwen3-vl-235b-a22b-thinking`
- `Qwen/Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct`
- `qwen/qwen3-vl-30b-a3b-instruct`
- `qwen/qwen3-vl-30b-a3b-thinking`
- `qwen/qwen3-vl-8b-instruct`
- `google/gemini-3.5-flash`
- `google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview`
The full, always-current model catalog is available at the
[Atlas Cloud console](https://www.atlascloud.ai/console).

A complete and local NVR designed for [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io) with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras.
Use of a GPU or AI accelerator is highly recommended. AI accelerators will outperform even the best CPUs with very little overhead. See Frigate's supported [object detectors](https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/object_detectors/).
- Tight integration with Home Assistant via a [custom component](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate-hass-integration)
- Designed to minimize resource use and maximize performance by only looking for objects when and where it is necessary
- Leverages multiprocessing heavily with an emphasis on realtime over processing every frame
- Uses a very low overhead motion detection to determine where to run object detection
- Object detection with TensorFlow runs in separate processes for maximum FPS
- Communicates over MQTT for easy integration into other systems
- Records video with retention settings based on detected objects
- 24/7 recording
- Re-streaming via RTSP to reduce the number of connections to your camera
- WebRTC & MSE support for low-latency live view
