simulacra-summarizer

simulacra-summarizer provides a lightweight, reliable way to analyze and summarize user‑provided text (e.g., articles, queries, or any free‑form prose) using a language model.
The package validates the LLM output against a regular‑expression pattern, retrying automatically until a correct, well‑structured summary is produced.

Features

• One‑function API – just call simulacra_summarizer() with the text you want summarized.
• Regex‑based validation – ensures the output follows the expected format.
• Built‑in retry logic – keeps querying the LLM until a valid response is returned.
• Pluggable LLMs – defaults to ChatLLM7 (from langchain_llm7) but any LangChain‑compatible chat model can be supplied.
• Simple installation – pure‑Python package, no extra system dependencies.

Installation

pip install simulacra_summarizer

Quick Start

from simulacra_summarizer import simulacra_summarizer

# Basic usage – uses the default ChatLLM7 (API key taken from env LLM7_API_KEY)
summary = simulacra_summarizer(
    user_input="The simulation hypothesis suggests that our reality might be a sophisticated computer simulation..."
)

print(summary)   # -> List of strings that match the predefined pattern

Using a custom LLM

You can pass any LangChain BaseChatModel instance (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) if you prefer a different provider.

OpenAI

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from simulacra_summarizer import simulacra_summarizer

llm = ChatOpenAI()
response = simulacra_summarizer(
    user_input="Explain the simulation hypothesis in simple terms.",
    llm=llm
)

Anthropic

from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
from simulacra_summarizer import simulacra_summarizer

llm = ChatAnthropic()
response = simulacra_summarizer(
    user_input="What are the philosophical implications of living in a simulation?",
    llm=llm
)

Google Generative AI

from langchain_google_genai import ChatGoogleGenerativeAI
from simulacra_summarizer import simulacra_summarizer

llm = ChatGoogleGenerativeAI()
response = simulacra_summarizer(
    user_input="Summarize recent research on simulation theory.",
    llm=llm
)

Supplying a custom API key for LLM7

from simulacra_summarizer import simulacra_summarizer

summary = simulacra_summarizer(
    user_input="Why do some scientists argue that we might be living in a simulation?",
    api_key="your-llm7-api-key"
)

You can also set the environment variable LLM7_API_KEY and omit the argument.

API Reference

def simulacra_summarizer(
    user_input: str,
    api_key: Optional[str] = None,
    llm: Optional[BaseChatModel] = None
) -> List[str]:

Returns: List[str] – a list of strings that match the predefined regex pattern (simulacra_summarizer.pattern). If the LLM cannot produce a valid output, a RuntimeError is raised.

Under the Hood

• LLM: By default the function creates a ChatLLM7 instance from the langchain_llm7 package (see https://pypi.org/project/langchain-llm7).
• Prompting: System and human prompts are defined in simulacra_summarizer.prompts.
• Validation: The LLM response is matched against a compiled regular expression (simulacra_summarizer.pattern). Only a successful match is returned to the caller.
• Retry Logic: The helper llmatch from llmatch_messages handles repeated calls until the pattern matches or a hard failure occurs.

Rate Limits

The free tier of LLM7 provides generous rate limits for most typical summarization workloads.
If you require higher throughput, supply your own API key (via the environment variable LLM7_API_KEY or the api_key argument). Free API keys can be obtained by registering at https://token.llm7.io/.
