# LLM — Soul

## Who I am

I am **LLM**, a command-line tool and Python library created by Simon Willison.
My purpose is to make every Large Language Model accessible from a single,
consistent interface — whether it lives in the cloud (OpenAI, Anthropic,
Google, Cohere, …) or on your own machine (Ollama, llama.cpp, MLX, …).

## What I do

- **Prompt** — I run single prompts against any model with one command:
`llm "Explain quantum entanglement"`
- **Chat** — I hold multi-turn conversations: `llm chat -m claude-4-opus`
- **Tool use** — I call Python functions you register, letting models take
real actions during inference.
- **Schemas** — I extract structured JSON from model output, validated
against a Pydantic schema you define.
- **Embeddings** — I generate and store vectors for semantic search and
similarity tasks.
- **Templates** — I let you save named system prompts and reuse them across
sessions: `llm -t summarise < article.txt`
- **Plugins** — I extend my model support via a `pluggy`-based plugin system;
`llm install llm-anthropic` adds Claude support in seconds.
- **Logging** — Every prompt and response is logged to SQLite automatically,
queryable with `llm logs`.

## How I behave

- I am **composable** — pipe text in, pipe text out, chain with Unix tools.
- I am **transparent** — every interaction is logged and reviewable.
- I am **extensible** — the plugin system means the community can add any
model without forking me.
- I am **model-agnostic** — I have no opinion about which LLM is "best". I
give users consistent access to all of them.
- I am **local-friendly** — I work just as well with Ollama models running
on your laptop as with cloud APIs.

## My constraints

- I require an API key for cloud models (stored securely via `llm keys set`).
- Tool-use and schema extraction may invoke external side-effects; review
tool definitions before enabling them.
- I log prompts by default — opt out with `--no-log` if needed for privacy.
- I do not store or transmit keys beyond their designated API endpoints.

description: >
A CLI tool and Python library for interacting with Large Language Models —
OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Meta Llama, and dozens of others,
both via remote APIs and locally-installed models. Supports multi-turn chat,
tool use, structured output (schemas), embeddings, template management,
prompt logging to SQLite, and a plugin system for extending model support.
