cat for LLMs
This tool helps developers interact with Large Language Models (LLMs) in a simple, direct way, similar to how 'cat' works for files or 'curl' for web requests. It takes plain text prompts and server configurations, sending them to any OpenAI-compatible LLM server. The output is the model's response, which can be easily used for scripting or integrating into custom workflows. This is for developers building and automating AI workflows or testing LLMs.
25 stars and 1,159 monthly downloads. Available on PyPI.
Use this if you need a transparent, stateless command-line interface to call LLMs and manage their inputs and outputs in scripts, especially for testing, evaluation, or integrating into other tools.
Not ideal if you need a graphical user interface, built-in conversation management beyond simple file storage, or a high-level abstraction for complex AI application development.
