Introduction

VibeRetry is a lightweight python package that allows users to use natural language (LLMs) to intelligently retry failed function calls. For example, VibeRetry can be used as a decorator to wrap a function and, in the event of an exception, the LLM will decide whether to retry the function and for how long to wait before retrying. It supports OpenAI and Google Gemini clients currently and a simple example illustrating how it can be used can be seen below:

from google import genai
from viberetry import VibeRetry

# create a google gemini client
client = genai.Client(api_key=os.getenv("GEMINI_API_KEY"))

# create a viberetry instance using the above client and specify a model
viberetry = VibeRetry(client, model="gemini-2.0-flash-lite")

# the example below simulates a function that always raises an exception
# to demonstrate the retry mechanism
@viberetry(max_retries=3, remarks="use exponential backoff")
def simulate_failure() -> int:
    """
    This function raises a simulated exception to demonstrate the retry mechanism.
    """
    raise Exception("Simulated exception.")

# this will fail, but the LLM will retry it a few times
# before finally raising the exception
simulate_failure()

VibeRetry is published on pypi and can be easily installed with:

python3 -m pip install viberetry

Details on the usage of the package and available APIs can be found on the wiki page.
