LLM Tool: A Versatile Language Model Interface

LLM is a command-line tool written in Python that allows you to interact with various language models. You can install it using 'pipx install LLM' and it comes with plugins that enable you to use different models, including ones hosted locally or in the cloud. With the LLM tool, you can easily run prompts and get responses from the models. It follows the Unix philosophy, making it easy to pipe inputs and outputs between different commands. The tool also supports system prompts, where you can provide instructions to the model along with your input. LLM is not only useful for generating code, but it can also explain code snippets, assist with writing release notes, and much more.
