PyLLMut 0.5.0

An LLM-driven mutant generator library for Python

PyLLMut

Introduction

PyLLMut—pronounced "Pill Moot" (/pɪl muːt/)—is a research-based LLM-driven mutant generator library for Python. It uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate mutants for Python programs. The current version of PyLLMut supports GPT-4o and GPT-4o mini through their APIs. We plan to add support for more models, such as DeepSeek-R1.
