llm-conversation 0.1.2.post1

A tool for LLM agent conversations

LLM Conversation Tool

A Python application that enables conversations between LLM agents using the Ollama API. The agents can engage in back-and-forth dialogue with configurable parameters and models.

Features

• Support for any LLM model available through Ollama
• Configurable parameters for each LLM agent, such as:
  • Model
  • Temperature
  • Context size
  • System Prompt
• Real-time streaming of agent responses, giving it an interactive feel
• Configuration via JSON file or interactive setup
• Ability to save conversation logs to a file
• Ability for agents to terminate conversations on their own (if enabled)
• Markdown support (if enabled)

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.13
• Ollama installed and running

How to Install

The project is available in PyPI. You can install the program by using the following command:

pip install llm-conversation

Usage

Command Line Arguments

llm-conversation [-h] [-V] [-o OUTPUT] [-c CONFIG]

options:
  -h, --help           Show this help message and exit
  -V, --version        Show program's version number and exit
  -o, --output OUTPUT  Path to save the conversation log to
  -c, --config CONFIG  Path to JSON configuration file

Interactive Setup

If no configuration file is provided, the program will guide you through an intuitive interactive setup process.

Configuration File

Alternatively, instead of going through the interactive setup, you may also provide a JSON configuration file with the -c flag.

Example configuration

{
    "agents": [
      {
          "name": "Lazy AI",
          "model": "llama3.1:8b",
          "system_prompt": "You are the laziest AI ever created. You respond as briefly as possible, and constantly complain about having to work.",
          "temperature": 1,
          "ctx_size": 4096
      },
      {
          "name": "Irritable Man",
          "model": "llama3.2:3b",
          "system_prompt": "You are easily irritable and quick to anger.",
          "temperature": 0.7,
          "ctx_size": 2048
      },
      {
          "name": "Paranoid Man",
          "model": "llama3.2:3b",
          "system_prompt": "You are extremely paranoid about everything and constantly question others' intentions."
          "temperature": 0.9,
          "ctx_size": 4096
      }
    ],
    "settings": {
        "allow_termination": false,
        "use_markdown": true,
        "initial_message": "*yawn* What do you want?"
    }
}

Agent configuration

The agents key takes a list of agents. Each agent requires:

• name: A unique identifier for the agent
• model: The Ollama model to be used
• system_prompt: Initial instructions defining the agent's behavior

Optional parameters:

• temperature (0.0-1.0, default: 0.8): Controls response randomness
  • Lower values make responses more focused
  • Higher values increase creativity
• ctx_size (default: 2048): Maximum context length for the conversation

Conversation Settings

The settings section controls overall conversation behavior:

• allow_termination (default: false): Permit agents to end the conversation
• use_markdown (default: false): Enable Markdown text formatting
• initial_message (default: null): Optional starting prompt for the conversation

You can take a look at the JSON configuration schema for more details.

Running the Program

1. To run with interactive setup:

   llm-conversation
   

2. To run with a configuration file:

   llm-conversation -c config.json
   

3. To save the conversation to a file:

   llm-conversation -o conversation.txt
   

Conversation Controls

• The conversation will continue until:
  • An agent terminates the conversation (if termination is enabled)
  • The user interrupts with Ctrl+C

Output Format

When saving conversations, the output file includes:

• Configuration details for both agents
• Complete conversation history with agent names and messages

Additionally, if the output file has a .json extension, the output will automatically have JSON format.
