Large Language Models (LLMs)

Alith provides seamless integration with various Large Language Models (LLMs), allowing you to easily switch between models like GPT-4, GPT-3.5, Claude, DeepSeek and others. Below, you’ll find examples of how to initialize and use LLMs in Rust, Python, and Node.js.

OpenAI Models

Set the API key.

  • Unix
export OPENAI_API_KEY=<your API key>
  • Windows
$env:OPENAI_API_KEY = "<your API key>"

Write the code.

use alith::{Agent, LLM}; #[tokio::main] async fn main() -> Result<(), anyhow::Error> { let model = LLM::from_model_name("gpt-4")?; let agent = Agent::new("simple agent", model, vec![]) .preamble("You are a comedian here to entertain the user using humour and jokes."); let response = agent.prompt("Entertain me!").await?; println!("{}", response); Ok(()) }

OpenAI API Compatible Models

Here, we take the DeepSeek model as the example.

use alith::{Agent, LLM}; #[tokio::main] async fn main() -> Result<(), anyhow::Error> { let model = LLM::openai_compatible_model( "<Your API Key>", // Replace with your api key or read it from env. "api.deepseek.com", "deepseek-chat", // or `deepseek-reasoner` for DeepSeek R1 Model )?; let agent = Agent::new("simple agent", model, vec![]) .preamble("You are a comedian here to entertain the user using humour and jokes."); let response = agent.prompt("Entertain me!").await?; println!("{}", response); Ok(()) }

Anthropic Models

Set the API key.

  • Unix
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<your API key>
  • Windows
$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = "<your API key>"

Write the code.

use alith::{Agent, LLM}; #[tokio::main] async fn main() -> Result<(), anyhow::Error> { let model = LLM::from_model_name("claude-3-5-sonnet")?; let agent = Agent::new("simple agent", model, vec![]) .preamble("You are a comedian here to entertain the user using humour and jokes."); let response = agent.prompt("Entertain me!").await?; println!("{}", response); Ok(()) }
