Open-source building blocks

LLM Works provides a modular open-source platform that organizes the infrastructure layer between LLMs and agents. The libraries are hosted on GitHub and published on PyPI.

Scores below are produced by the open-source grade-python-project grader, which runs against any Python project and has inspectable criteria. appinfra scoreboard:

An appinfra CLI creates a SAIA object, connects to an Anthropic backend via llm-infer, and sends one request.

import sys, asyncio
from appinfra.app import AppBuilder
from llm_infer.client import Factory, SAIAAdapter
from llm_saia import SAIA

# build the CLI app via appinfra (provides self.lg, self.args, app.main)
app = AppBuilder("hello-llm").build()

# bind run() as the "run" subcommand with a positional "prompt" argument
@app.tool(name="run")
@app.argument("prompt")
def run(self):
    asyncio.run(_send(self.lg, self.args.prompt))

async def _send(lg, prompt):
    # open an async Anthropic client via llm-infer
    async with Factory(lg).anthropic() as client:
        # build a SAIA session using the llm-infer client as its backend
        saia = SAIA.builder().backend(SAIAAdapter(client)).build()
        # invoke the instruct verb to get a typed response
        print((await saia.instruct(prompt)).value)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    sys.exit(app.main())

Usage:

$ pip install appinfra llm-saia "llm-infer[anthropic,saia]"
$ export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
$ python app.py run "What is systems engineering?"
