  • litellm

    Call all LLM APIs using the OpenAI format. Use Bedrock, Azure, OpenAI, Cohere, Anthropic, Ollama, Sagemaker, HuggingFace, Replicate (100+ LLMs)

  • There are a few libs that already abstract this away, for example:

    - https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm

    - https://jxnl.github.io/instructor/

    - langchain

    It's not hard for me to imagine a future where there is something like the CNCF for AI models, tools, and infra.

  • plandex

    An AI coding engine for building complex, real-world software with LLMs

  • I'm looking forward to trying this out with Plandex[1] (a terminal-based AI coding tool I recently launched that can build large features and whole projects).

    Plandex does rely on OpenAI's streaming function calls for its build progress indicators, so the lack of streaming is a bit unfortunate. But great to hear that it will be included in GA.

    I've been getting a lot of requests to support Claude, as well as open source models. A humble suggestion for folks working on models: focus on full compatibility with the OpenAI API as soon as you can, including function calls and streaming function calls. Full support for function calls is crucial for building advanced functionality.

  • LLMEasyTools

    Tools for LLM agents.

  • I have a library with similar api but in python: https://github.com/zby/LLMEasyTools. Even the names match.
