This article introduces llm-cli—a concise command-line interface tool that supports multiple large language model (LLM) vendors through a unified interface, offering practical features like conversation history management, bookmark functionality, and YAML configuration.
Section 01
This article introduces llm-cli—a minimalist command-line tool that supports multi-vendor LLMs such as OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and OpenRouter. It provides a unified interface, conversation history management, bookmark functionality, and YAML configuration to solve the friction of switching between different model APIs.
Section 02
With the development of the LLM ecosystem, developers need to switch between vendors like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Each vendor has different API formats and SDKs, leading to usage friction. llm-cli aims to simplify multi-model interactions through a unified interface.
Section 03
Design Philosophy: Bare-bones, focusing on core functions to reduce learning costs, and facilitate iteration and maintenance. Technical Features:
Section 04
Basic Conversation: llm-cli starts a new session.
Model Switching: llm-cli -m gpt5 (via configuration alias).
Continue History: llm-cli -c selects and continues an old session.
One-Time Query: llm-cli "Explain blockchain" (suitable for quick queries/script integration).

Section 06
Installation:
pip install llm-cliuv tool install git+https://github.com/dansclearov/llm-cli.gitexport OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...), which can be added to the shell configuration file for automatic loading.Section 07
Section 08
Future: Support more vendors, plugin systems, conversation sharing, and advanced parameter control. Conclusion: llm-cli provides an efficient solution with a minimalist design, suitable for terminal users to freely switch between multiple models without learning multiple tools.

Splinter is a minimalist, high-performance key-value (KV) and vector storage system enabling zero-latency inter-process communication via shared memory and atomic operations. With only 766 lines of core code, it supports millions of operations per second and 768-dimensional vector storage, offering a new architectural approach for local LLM inference and data-intensive applications.
LiteMind is a Python framework that provides developers with a unified API to integrate mainstream LLM providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and Ollama. It supports multimodal input/output, tool calling, RAG enhancement, and agent construction.
OmniRoute is an open-source AI gateway that integrates over 67 large model providers through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint. It offers intelligent routing, load balancing, automatic degradation, and quota management, helping developers get the most available AI services at the lowest cost.
This article introduces an open-source multimodal RAG framework based on Google Gemini Embedding 2, which can uniformly handle embedding and retrieval of four media types: text, images, videos, and audio. Combined with Supabase pgvector vector database and OpenRouter large language models, it provides a complete production-level retrieval-augmented generation pipeline.
