fj-llm 0.3.0

Lightweight, config-driven client for multiple LLM providers

fj-llm

Lightweight, config-driven Python client for multiple LLM providers. One interface, any provider — no provider SDK required.

Install

pip install fj-llm

Providers

Provider	Config key	Env var
OpenAI	openai	OPENAI_API_KEY
Anthropic	anthropic	ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
DeepSeek	deepseek	DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
Google	google	GOOGLE_API_KEY

Configuration

On first use, a default config is created at ~/.config/fj_llm/config.yaml. Edit it to add your API keys and define model aliases:

models:
  gpt-best:
    provider: openai
    model_name: gpt-4o
    api_key_env: OPENAI_API_KEY
    base_url: https://api.openai.com/v1
    max_tokens: 4000
    temperature: 0.1
    pricing:
      input_per_1m_tokens: 2.50
      output_per_1m_tokens: 10.00
    fallback: gpt-light        # optional: alias to use on quota exhaustion

  gpt-light:
    provider: openai
    model_name: gpt-4o-mini
    api_key_env: OPENAI_API_KEY
    base_url: https://api.openai.com/v1
    max_tokens: 4000
    temperature: 0.1
    pricing:
      input_per_1m_tokens: 0.15
      output_per_1m_tokens: 0.60

defaults:
  retry_attempts: 3
  retry_delay: 1.0
  timeout: 30

For Cloud Functions or other environments without filesystem access, set the FJ_LLM_CONFIG environment variable to a JSON string of the same structure.

Usage

from fj_llm import LLMClient

client = LLMClient()
response = client.query("gpt-best", "Summarise this in one sentence.", context=long_text)

if response.success:
    print(response.content)
    print(f"Cost: ${response.cost:.6f}")
else:
    print(f"Error: {response.error}")

Cost logging

Every successful call is appended as a JSONL record to ~/.local/share/fj_llm/costs.jsonl. Override the path via the FJ_LLM_COST_LOG env var, or set cost_log in the config file.

CLI

llm-query gpt-best "What is the capital of France?"
