Studio Multi-Provider LLM Interface

A Flask-based web interface for interacting with multiple language model providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Cohere, Mistral, Perplexity, xAI, Gemini) with support for chat, image generation, video generation, and image analysis.

Quick Start

Using the Management Script (Recommended)

# Start the server
./studio.sh start

# Stop the server
./studio.sh stop

# Restart the server
./studio.sh restart

# Check server status
./studio.sh status

# View live logs
./studio.sh logs

Direct Python Launch

# Activate virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

# Run the app
python app.py

Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the project root with your API keys:

# Flask Configuration
FLASK_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-here
STUDIO_PORT=5413

# LLM Provider API Keys
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here
COHERE_API_KEY=your-key-here
MISTRAL_API_KEY=your-key-here
PERPLEXITY_API_KEY=your-key-here
XAI_API_KEY=your-key-here
GEMINI_API_KEY=your-key-here

# Optional: Base path for reverse proxy
STUDIO_BASE_PATH=/studio

Password

Default password: friendship

To change, edit PASSWORD in app.py (line 28).

Features

Chat

• Multi-provider chat interface
• Conversation history management
• Model selection per provider
• Streaming responses

Image Generation

• Providers: OpenAI (DALL-E), xAI (Aurora)
• Save generated images
• Image prompt library

Image Analysis

• Providers: Anthropic (Claude Vision), OpenAI (GPT-4 Vision)
• Upload and analyze images
• Custom analysis prompts

Video Generation

• Providers: xAI (Grok Video) - when available
• Text-to-video and image-to-video

Troubleshooting

Port Already in Use

If you see "Port 5413 is already in use":

# Kill existing processes
./studio.sh stop

# Or manually
kill -9 $(lsof -ti :5413)

# Or use a different port
export STUDIO_PORT=5414
./studio.sh start

Provider Initialization Errors

Check the startup logs to see which providers failed to initialize:

./studio.sh logs

Common issues:

• Missing API keys in .env file
• Invalid API keys
• Shared library not found (/home/coolhand/shared/llm_providers)

Import Errors

If you see import errors for the shared library:

# Verify shared library path
ls -la /home/coolhand/shared/llm_providers/

# Check if all provider modules exist
ls /home/coolhand/shared/llm_providers/*_provider.py

Development

Running in Debug Mode

Debug mode is enabled by default when running with python app.py or ./studio.sh start.

To disable debug mode, edit app.py line 434:

app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=PORT, debug=False)

Adding New Providers

1. Create provider in shared library: /home/coolhand/shared/llm_providers/
2. Import in providers/studio_adapters.py
3. Create adapter class in providers/studio_adapters.py
4. Export from providers/__init__.py
5. Initialize in app.py (around line 95)

Accessibility Considerations

• Semantic HTML structure
• ARIA labels for interactive elements
• Keyboard navigation support
• Clear error messages
• High contrast UI elements

Security Notes

• Password authentication required
• Session-based authentication
• API keys stored in environment variables
• Never commit .env file to git
