CLI Usage

Commands are organized into groups: maque <group> <command>. Short alias mq is also available.

Config Management

maque config show                 # Show current configuration
maque config edit                 # Open config in editor
maque config init                 # Initialize config file

MLLM (Multimodal LLM)

# Process images from a table
maque mllm call-table data.xlsx --image_col="image_path" --model="gpt-4o"

# Process images from a folder
maque mllm call-images ./photos --recursive=True --output_file="results.csv"

LLM Server

# Start LLM inference server
maque llm serve Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct --port=8000

# AWQ quantized model (requires: pip install maque[awq])
maque llm serve Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct-AWQ

# Interactive chat
maque llm chat --model="gpt-4o"

Embedding Service

# Start embedding API server
maque embedding serve --model=BAAI/bge-m3 --port=8001

# Test embedding endpoint
maque embedding test --text="Hello world"

Data Processing

# Interactive table viewer (Streamlit)
maque data table-viewer data.csv --port=8501

# Convert between formats
maque data convert input.json output.csv

System Utilities

# Kill processes on ports
maque system kill 8000 8001

# Pack directory
maque system pack ./folder

# Split large file
maque system split large_file.dat --chunk_size=1GB

Git Helpers

# Clone with options
maque git clone https://github.com/user/repo --branch=dev

# Generate SSH key
maque git gen-key project_name --email=[e-mail]

Python API

IO Utilities

from maque import yaml_load, yaml_dump, json_load, json_dump, jsonl_load, jsonl_dump

# Load/save YAML
config = yaml_load("config.yaml")
yaml_dump(data, "output.yaml")

# Load/save JSONL
records = jsonl_load("data.jsonl")
jsonl_dump(records, "output.jsonl")

MLLM Client

from flexllm import MllmClient

client = MllmClient(
    base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1",
    api_key="your-api-key",
    model="gpt-4o"
)

# Single image
response = client.call("Describe this image", image_path="photo.jpg")

# Batch processing
from flexllm import MllmTableProcessor
processor = TableProcessor(client)
results = processor.process("data.xlsx", image_col="image_path", prompt="Describe the image")

Async Executor

from flexllm.async_api import ConcurrentExecutor

async def process_item(item):
    # Your async processing logic
    return result

executor = ConcurrentExecutor(
    max_concurrent=10,
    max_qps=5,
    max_retries=3
)

results = await executor.run(
    process_item,
    items,
    progress=True
)

Embedding & Retrieval

from maque.embedding import TextEmbedding
from maque.retriever import ChromaRetriever, Document

# Initialize
embedding = TextEmbedding(base_url="http://localhost:8001/v1", model="bge-m3")
retriever = ChromaRetriever(
    embedding,
    persist_dir="./chroma_db",
    collection_name="my_data"
)

# Insert documents
documents = [Document(id="1", content="text...", metadata={"source": "file1"})]
retriever.upsert_batch(documents, batch_size=32, skip_existing=True)

# Search
results = retriever.search("query text", top_k=10)

Clustering Pipeline

from maque.clustering import ClusterAnalyzer

analyzer = ClusterAnalyzer(algorithm="hdbscan", min_cluster_size=15)

# Analyze from ChromaDB
result = analyzer.analyze_chroma(
    persist_dir="./chroma_db",
    collection_name="my_data",
    output_dir="./results",
    sample_size=10000,
    visualize=True
)

# Access results
print(f"Found {result.n_clusters} clusters")
print(result.labels)
print(result.cluster_stats)

Performance Measurement

from maque import MeasureTime

with MeasureTime("model inference", gpu=True):
    output = model(input)
# Prints: model inference took 0.123s (GPU: 0.089s)

Configuration

maque uses hierarchical configuration (highest priority first):

1. ./maque_config.yaml (current directory)
2. Project root config
3. ~/.maque/config.yaml (user config)

Example configuration:

mllm:
  model: gpt-4o
  base_url: https://api.openai.com/v1
  api_key: ${OPENAI_API_KEY}

embedding:
  model: BAAI/bge-m3
  base_url: http://localhost:8001/v1

llm:
  default_port: 8000

Initialize config:

maque config init
