LLM is my command-line tool for running prompts against Large Language Models.
2024
Use an llm to automagically generate meaningful git commit messages. Neat, thoroughly documented recipe by Harper Reed using my LLM CLI tool as part of a scheme for if you’re feeling too lazy to write a commit message—it uses a prepare-commit-msg Git hook which runs any time you commit without a message and pipes your changes to a model along with a custom system prompt.
Building files-to-prompt entirely using Claude 3 Opus
files-to-prompt is a new tool I built to help me pipe several files at once into prompts to LLMs such as Claude and GPT-4.
[... 3,235 words]llm-command-r. Cohere released Command R Plus today—an open weights (non commercial/research only) 104 billion parameter LLM, a big step up from their previous 35 billion Command R model.
Both models are fine-tuned for both tool use and RAG. The commercial API has features to expose this functionality, including a web-search connector which lets the model run web searches as part of answering the prompt and return documents and citations as part of the JSON response.
I released a new plugin for my LLM command line tool this morning adding support for the Command R models.
In addition to the two models it also adds a custom command for running prompts with web search enabled and listing the referenced documents.
llm-nomic-api-embed. My new plugin for LLM which adds API access to the Nomic series of embedding models. Nomic models can be run locally too, which makes them a great long-term commitment as there’s no risk of the models being retired in a way that damages the value of your previously calculated embedding vectors.
llm-gemini 0.1a1. I upgraded my llm-gemini plugin to add support for the new Google Gemini Pro 1.5 model, which is beginning to roll out in early access.
The 1.5 model supports 1,048,576 input tokens and generates up to 8,192 output tokens—a big step up from Gemini 1.0 Pro which handled 30,720 and 2,048 respectively.
The big missing feature from my LLM tool at the moment is image input—a fantastic way to take advantage of that huge context window. I have a branch for this which I really need to get into a useful state.
llm cmd undo last git commit—a new plugin for LLM
I just released a neat new plugin for my LLM command-line tool: llm-cmd. It lets you run a command to to generate a further terminal command, review and edit that command, then hit <enter> to execute it or <ctrl-c> to cancel.
Semgrep: AutoFixes using LLMs (via) semgrep is a really neat tool for semantic grep against source code—you can give it a pattern like “log.$A(...)” to match all forms of log.warning(...) / log.error(...) etc.
Ilia Choly built semgrepx— xargs for semgrep—and here shows how it can be used along with my llm CLI tool to execute code replacements against matches by passing them through an LLM such as Claude 3 Opus.
llm-claude-3 0.3. Anthropic released Claude 3 Haiku today, their least expensive model: $0.25/million tokens of input, $1.25/million of output (GPT-3.5 Turbo is $0.50/$1.50). Unlike GPT-3.5 Haiku also supports image inputs.
I just released a minor update to my llm-claude-3 LLM plugin adding support for the new model.
llm-claude-3. I built a new plugin for LLM—my command-line tool and Python library for interacting with Large Language Models—which adds support for the new Claude 3 models from Anthropic.
llmc.sh (via) Adam Montgomery wrote this a neat wrapper around my LLM CLI utility: it adds a “llmc” zsh function which you can ask for shell commands (llmc ’use ripgrep to find files matching otter’) which outputs the command, an explanation of the command and then copies the command to your clipboard for you to paste and execute if it looks like the right thing.
Weeknotes: a Datasette release, an LLM release and a bunch of new plugins
I wrote extensive annotated release notes for Datasette 1.0a8 and LLM 0.13 already. Here’s what else I’ve been up to this past three weeks.
[... 1,074 words]llm-sentence-transformers 0.2. I added a new --trust-remote-code option when registering an embedding model, which means LLM can now run embeddings through the new Nomic AI nomic-embed-text-v1 model.
llm-embed-onnx. I wrote a new plugin for LLM that acts as a thin wrapper around onnx_embedding_models by Benjamin Anderson, providing access to seven embedding models that can run on the ONNX model framework.
The actual plugin is around 50 lines of code, which makes for a nice example of how thin a plugin wrapper can be that adds new models to my LLM tool.
LLM 0.13: The annotated release notes
I just released LLM 0.13, the latest version of my LLM command-line tool for working with Large Language Models—both via APIs and running models locally using plugins.
