Caillou is a project to explore AI technologies (e.g. LLMs, LangChain etc.) by implementing some utilities for the terminal

Some topics to explore:

• Use an LLM to translate a text to another language
• Allow to use a local LLM to guaranty privacy and free of charge LLM usage
• Use an LLM to generate an answer by using the content of local documents
• Use an LLM to generate an answer by using a function or tool

etc.

You can install the application the following command:

pip install caillou

In order to use the application with an OpenAI LLM, you need to provide an API key defined as an environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY.

N.B. This API key can also be defined directly in the configuration file created after the first execution (e.g. on Linux: $HOME/.config/caillou/config.json)

In order to use the application with a local LLM, you need to:

• Install Ollama
• Install the desired LLM (e.g. "llama3", "mistral" etc.) with Ollama
• Adapt the configuration file created after the first execution (e.g. on Linux: $HOME/.config/caillou/config.json)

Using the translate command, you can quickly translate a sentence:

$ caillou translate FR This app rocks bro!
Cette application déchire mec !

(Generated with LLM: openai-gpt-3.5-turbo)

Using the roll command, you can list included applications:

$ caillou roll
Here is a list of available applications:
 - translator

and launch one of them:

$ caillou roll translator
