Hi everyone,
I'm excited to share a project I've been working on, llmlite.
It's an open-source library that aims to be the first unified LLM (Large Language Model) provider library for the Zig programming language.
While LLM ecosystems are booming in other languages, Zig developers often have to manually integrate different APIs or use heavy C bindings. llmlite seeks to solve that.
Why llmlite? Our Core Design Goals:
A Unified API: The goal is not just one more API wrapper. It provides a common interface for multiple LLMs.
Priority Support for Key Suites: We have initially focused on supporting the complete API suites of GenAI and Minimax.
Zig-First, Zero Dependencies: We are committed to a zero-dependency build, maximizing performance, reducing security surface area, and maintaining the minimalist philosophy of Zig.
Full Compile-Time Type Safety: Leveraging Zig's compile-time capabilities, we ensure that your LLM interactions are as type-safe as possible before your code even runs.
Lightweight: The entire library is ~500KB.
Features Supported:
Streaming & Embeddings
Context Caching & Tuning
(And more as we expand the list of providers)
System Requirements:
Zig 0.15+
Apache 2.0 License
We would love for you to try it out, critique the code, and contribute to its development. Our goal is to make AI development in Zig as seamless and robust as possible.
