LLM9P

About

llm9p bridges the gap between powerful Large Language Models and traditional Unix-like operating systems by presenting LLM access through the elegant and lightweight 9P filesystem protocol. This innovative approach allows users, scripts, and AI agents to interact with LLMs using familiar file operations like `cat` and `echo`, eliminating the need for complex SDKs or HTTP APIs. It supports various backends, including Anthropic API and Claude Code CLI, with planned support for local LLMs, making it a versatile tool for integrating conversational AI into any environment that understands files.

Key Features

• Enables conversation history management and reset functionality.
• Manages LLM parameters like model, temperature, and system prompts through dedicated files.
• Access LLMs via the 9P filesystem protocol using standard file operations.
• Provides a streaming interface for real-time retrieval of LLM responses.
• 1 GitHub stars
• Supports multiple LLM backends: Anthropic API, Claude Code CLI, and planned local Ollama integration.

Use Cases

• Exploring and utilizing Large Language Models within Plan 9 or Inferno OS environments.
• Integrating LLM capabilities into shell scripts and Unix pipelines for automated text processing.
• Allowing AI agents to interact with LLMs through a standardized filesystem interface.
