Intro

Proto-LLM is an open-source framework for fast protyping of LLM-based applications.

Proto LLM features

• Rapid prototyping of information retrieval systems based on LLM using RAG:

  Implementations of architectural patterns for interacting with different databases and web service interfaces; Methods for optimising RAG pipelines to eliminate redundancy.

• Development and integration of applications with LLM with connection of external services and models through plugin system:

  Integration with AutoML solutions for predictive tasks; Providing structured output generation and validation;

• Implementation of ensemble methods and multi-agent approaches to improve the efficiency of LLMs:

  Possibility of combining arbitrary LLMs into ensembles to improve generation quality, automatic selection of ensemble composition; Work with model-agents and ensemble pipelines;

• Generation of complex synthetic data for further training and improvement of LLM:

  Generating examples from existing models and data sets; Evolutionary optimisation to increase the diversity of examples; Integration with Label Studio;

• Providing interoperability with various LLM providers:

  Support for native models (GigaChat, YandexGPT, vsegpt, openrouter, etc.). Interaction with open-source models deployed locally.

Project Structure

The latest stable release of ProtoLLM is in the main branch.

The repository includes the following directories:

• Package protollm contains the main modules. It is the core of the ProtoLLM framework;

• Package protollm_tools contains side tools with specific dependensied;

• Package examples includes several how-to-use-cases where you can start to discover how ProtoLLM works;

• All unit and integration tests can be observed in the test directory;

• The sources of the documentation are in the docs directory.

Packages protollm-api and protollm-sdk are available in external repositories.

Installation

• The simplest way to install ProtoLLM is using pip:

$ pip install protollm

A standard installation of ProtoLLM includes the main package with dependencies.

• Modules with tools can be installed separately:

$ pip install protollm-api

$ pip install protollm-sdk

Contribution Guide
