A Python library for making asynchronous LLM calls

async-llms: A Python Library for Asynchronous LLM Calls

async-llms is a Python library for making asynchronous LLM calls to accelerate LLM evaluation experiments.

Installation

You can install the package using pip:

pip install async-llms

Usage

Set API Key

Set the API key for the LLM provider you want to use.

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_api_key"
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your_api_key"
export XAI_API_KEY="your_api_key"

If you are using Google Vertex AI, you can set the project and location using the GOOGLE_PROJECT and GOOGLE_LOCATION environment variables.

export USE_VERTEX_AI="True"  # default is False
export GOOGLE_PROJECT="your_project"
export GOOGLE_LOCATION="your_location"  # "us-central1"

(Optional) Set Timeout

You can set the timeout for the LLM calls using the ASYNC_LLM_TIMEOUT environment variable.

export ASYNC_LLM_TIMEOUT=1800  # 1800 seconds per request

Command Line Interface

You can use the package directly from the command line:

async-llms \
    --api_type "openai" \
    --input_jsonl "path/to/input.jsonl" \
    --output_jsonl "path/to/output.jsonl" \
    --num_parallel_tasks "num_parallel_tasks"

Input Format

The input JSONL file format is identical to the one used in OpenAI's Batch API: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/batch

{
    "custom_id": "unique_id_for_this_request",
    "body": {
        // Your LLM request parameters here
    }
}
