RubyLLM reviews and mentions

• 🇺🇸 Glancer — Ask your Rails database questions in plain language
  3 projects | dev.to | 27 May 2026

  OpenAI and OpenRouter are also supported. It runs on top of RubyLLM, so any model it supports works here too. You can assign different models per role: a smarter model for query generation, a cheaper one for writing the response.

• How to implement AI agents in Rails with RubyLLM
  2 projects | dev.to | 24 Apr 2026

  RubyLLM is a Ruby gem and an AI interface for GPT, Claude, and Gemini to give us an easy way to run LLM chat inside a Ruby application. It allows us to avoid writing JSON and lets us work with AI using beautiful Ruby DSL.

• Semantic Caching for RubyLLM: Cut Your AI Costs by 70%
  1 project | dev.to | 2 Feb 2026

  If you're using RubyLLM to build AI-powered applications in Ruby, you're already enjoying a clean, unified API across multiple providers. But there's one problem RubyLLM doesn't solve: every API call costs money.

• T-Ruby is Ruby with syntax for types

  I have been programming with Ruby for 11 years with most of the time in a professional context. It's my favorite language :).

  I don't care much for types, but it can be useful with denser libraries where IDE's can assist with writing code. It has been helpful in my professional life with regards to typed Python and Typescript.

  One potential example that would be interesting is utilizing types for reflection for AI tool calling, the python library for Ollama already supports this[0].

  It would make it easier to use such tools in a Ruby context and potentially enhance libraries like ruby-llm [1] and ollama-ruby [2].

• Async Ruby is the Future of AI Apps (And It's Already Here)
  2 projects | dev.to | 9 Jul 2025

  Then, building RubyLLM and Chat with Work, I noticed that LLM communication is async Ruby's killer app. The unique demands of streaming AI responses -- long-lived connections, token-by-token delivery, thousands of concurrent conversations -- expose exactly why async matters.
