llm VS griptape

That's a great use case, you might be able to do this if you've got a copy and paste on the command line with

https://github.com/simonw/llm

In between. An alias like pdfwtf translating to "paste | llm command | copy"

I added support for this model to my LLM CLI tool via a new plugin: https://github.com/simonw/llm-command-r

So now you can do this:

    pipx install llm

If you're willing to use the CLI, Simon Willison's llm library[0] should do the trick.

I'm not thrilled about https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/localllm/blob/main/ll... calling their Python package "llm" and installing "llm" as a CLI command, when my similar https://llm.datasette.io/ project has that namespace reserved on PyPI already: https://pypi.org/project/llm/

I've been gleefully exploring the intersection of LLMs and CLI utilities for a few months now - they are such a great fit for each other! The unix philosophy of piping things together is a perfect fit for how LLMs work.

I've mostly been exploring this with my https://llm.datasette.io/ CLI tool, but I have a few other one-off tools as well: https://github.com/simonw/blip-caption and https://github.com/simonw/ospeak

I'm puzzled that more people aren't loudly exploring this space (LLM+CLI) - it's really fun.

Seems nice if you're using c# or java. It also supports python, but for that Simon's llm library is nice because he designed it as both a library and a command line tool: https://github.com/simonw/llm

Have you looked at griptape? https://github.com/griptape-ai/griptape

From the docs we can see the format of how Griptape Prompt Drivers work, and if we look at the project source code we can see code for Falcon, so there is hope yet!

So what are the alternatives to LangChain that the HN crowd uses?

I see two contenders:

https://github.com/griptape-ai/griptape

There is also the llm command line utility that has a very thin underlying library, but which might grow eventually:

Griptape is an enterprise alternative to LangChain built by former AWS engineers.

Griptape is an enterprise grade alternative to LangChain.

Check out Griptape. Keeps the data off prompt by default. To be clear, for things like summary, you’d use a second local model. But it lets you use vendors like openai for the brains / workflow

Check out Griptape. All former AWS engineers. Used by a few auto manufacturers and industrials already. Keeps data off prompt so it’s able to work directly with larger datasets. Abstractions are clean and little to no prompt engineering required.
