Ellama

Ellama is a tool for interacting with large language models from Emacs. It allows you to ask questions and receive responses from the LLMs. Ellama can perform various tasks such as translation, code review, summarization, enhancing grammar/spelling or wording and more through the Emacs interface. Ellama natively supports streaming output, making it effortless to use with your preferred text editor.

What's new

• 28.10.2023 - Switched from ollama's API to llm library. Many providers supported.

Installation

Install the package ellama from MELPA. Just M-x package-installEnter ellama Enter. By default it uses ollama provider and zephyr model. If you ok with it, you need to install ollama and pull zephyr. You can use ellama with other model or other llm provider. In that case you should customize ellama configuration like this:

(use-package ellama
  :init
  (setopt ellama-language "German")
  (require 'llm-ollama)
  (setopt ellama-provider
		  (make-llm-ollama
		   :chat-model "zephyr:7b-alpha-q5_K_M" :embedding-model "zephyr:7b-alpha-q5_K_M")))

Acknowledgments

Thanks Jeffrey Morgan for excellent project ollama. This project cannot exist without it.

Thanks zweifisch - I got some ideas from ollama.el what ollama client in Emacs can do.

Thanks Dr. David A. Kunz - I got more ideas from gen.nvim.

Thanks Andrew Hyatt for llm library. Without it only ollama would be supported.
