A command line interface for the OpenAI Large Language Models that emulates some features of ChatGPT.
UPDATE: GPT4 Support is Here!
Note: This project has recently been updated to default to the GPT3.5-Turbo Model. You can access other models (including GPT4) with the --model option.
In addition to providing a simple interface for talking with GPT, this tool also offers a few extra features built on top of the GPT APIs.
- Act as a chat bot (emulates chatGPT)
- Read local files
- Automatically prepend subject domains & context (Bash, JS, Physics etc.)
- Expert Mode (act as an expert on some subject)
- Explain it like I'm 5 (explain the answer simply)
You can do whatever you want :)
I made this for the following reasons:
- Access LLMs without leaving the command line
- Access LLMs without logging in to OpenAI (use a token instead)
- Directly read and write local files
- I don't always have easy access to a GUI
$ sllm what would be the advantage of talking to a LLM via the command line?
The advantage of talking to a LLM via the command line is that it allows for a more efficient and direct way of communicating. It also allows for more precise and specific commands to be used, which can help to quickly get the desired results.
$ sllm what can be used to check the status of a running systemd service? -e bash scripting
The command to check the status of a running systemd service is "systemctl status <service_name>".
$ sllm how can I get the full log instead? -d bash -H 1
To get the full log of a running systemd service, you can use the command "journalctl -u <service_name>".
npm install -g sllm
Get an OpenAI API KEY.
export OPENAI_API_KEY=<your_api_key>
$ sllm how many people live in china?
According to the latest estimates, there are approximately 1.4 billion people living in China.
To enable a "chat mode" similar to chatGPT, run the following command:
sllm .settings -H 3
This will remind the LLM about the last 3 prompts it was given.
$ sllm --help

$ sllm .prompt --help
Usage: sllm .prompt [options] <prompt...>
send a prompt (default command)
Arguments:
prompt the prompt text
Options:
-v, --verbose verbose output
-x, --max-tokens <number> maximum tokens to use in response (default: "256")
-X, --unlimited do not limit tokens used in response
-t, --temperature <number> temperature to use (default: "0.2")
-c, --context <string...> context to prepend
-d, --domain <string...> subject domain to prepend
-e, --expert <string...> act as an expert on this domain
-C, --code <language> respond only with executable code (default: "JavaScript")
-5, --like-im-five explain it like I'm 5 years old
-H, --history <number> prepend history (chatGPT mode)
-f, --file <path> prepend the given file contents
-T, --trim automatically trim the given file contents
-m, --model <model-name> specify the model name (default: "gpt-3.5-turbo")
--mock dont actually send the prompt to the API
-h, --help display help for command
You can prepend a reference to a file with the -f or --file option.
However, be aware that files can not exceed 4k tokens. To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to get the GPT3 API to process more than 4096 tokens at once which means that this is a hard limitation and it would not be possible to get a meaningful analysis of a file that exceeds 4k tokens.
NOTE: At the time of writing, sending a file that contains 4k tokens would cost about $0.08 (USD). See OpenAI Pricing for more info.
If your files are too large or you simply want to save a few tokens, you can try adding the --trim flag when loading a file. This command will attempt to remove all white spaces, tabs and new lines from the file. This might confuse the LLM so it's typically better to avoid this option unless needed.
Depending on the type of file you want to analyze, you might also try minifying the file before running it through sllm.
$ sllm write a summary of this file -f sllm.js
This file is a Node.js script that provides a command line interface (CLI) for interacting with OpenAI's GPT-3 API.
$ sllm what dependencies does this have -f ./package.json
This package.json file has two dependencies: gpt-3-encoder and openai.
$ sllm what version of npm is this file built for? -f ./package.json
This package.json file is built for npm version 6.14.4 or higher.
$ cat example.js
const e = require('./llm.js');
console.log(e);
$ sllm is this file NodeJS or Browser JS? -f example.js
This file is Node.js.
$ sllm why do you say that? -H 1
This file contains code that is specific to Node.js, such as the require statement, which is not supported in browser JavaScript.
$ sllm what is this file about? -f mute.cpp
This file is about demonstrating the differences between mutating a value by reference, by pointer, and not mutating it at all. It contains three functions, noMute, muteR, and muteP, which respectively do not mutate the value, mutate the value by reference, and mutate the value by pointer. There is also a print function to output the results of the functions.
$ sllm what is this file about? -f cfg.txt
This file is about creating a GIF animation of Conway's Game of Life using the .sorg settings. The animation will have a file name of "life", a frame delay of 1, 512 frames to render, 0 generations to run before render, a canvas width of 64, a canvas height of 64, a pixel/image scale of 8, a gif color pallet of lime, and a rule set of dtsd. Additionally, the .sorg settings include a file to load of "noise", a center of 0, an x offset of 1, and a y offset of 1.
If you want to estimate how many tokens a prompt or file will consume, you can use the sllm count command.
$ sllm .count --help
Usage: sllm .count [options]
estimate the tokens used by a prompt or file
Options:
-p, --prompt <string...> the prompt string to check
-f, --file <path> the file path to check
-h, --help display help for command
