llm-github-models 0.15. Anthony Shaw's llm-github-models plugin just got an upgrade: it now supports LLM 0.26 tool use for a subset of the models hosted on the GitHub Models API, contributed by Caleb Brose.
The neat thing about this GitHub Models plugin is that it picks up an API key from your GITHUB_TOKEN
- and if you're running LLM within a GitHub Actions worker the API key provided by the worker should be enough to start executing prompts!
I tried it out against Cohere Command A via GitHub Models like this (transcript here):
llm install llm-github-models
llm keys set github
# Paste key here
llm -m github/cohere-command-a -T llm_time 'What time is it?' --td
We now have seven LLM plugins that provide tool support, covering OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Ollama, llama-server and now GitHub Models.
