README.org: Update README with new information and a multi-llm demo.
gptel.el (gptel-host, gptel--known-backends, gptel--api-key,
gptel--create-prompt, gptel--request-data, gptel--parse-buffer, gptel-request,
gptel--parse-response, gptel--openai, gptel--debug, gptel--restore-state,
gptel, gptel-backend):
Integrate multiple LLMs through the introcution of gptel-backends. Each backend
is composed of two pieces:
1. An instance of a cl-struct, containing connection, authentication and model
information. See the cl-struct `gptel-backend` for details. A separate
cl-struct type is defined for each supported backend (OpenAI, Azure, GPT4All and
Ollama) that inherits from the generic gptel-backend type.
2. cl-generic implementations of specific tasks, like gathering up and
formatting context (previous user queries and LLM responses), parsing responses
or responses streams etc. The four tasks currently specialized this way are
carried out by `gptel--parse-buffer` and `gptel--request-data` (for constructing
the query) and `gptel--parse-response` and `gptel-curl--parse-stream` (for
parsing the response). See their implementations for details. Some effort has
been made to limit the number of times dispatching is done when reading
streaming responses.
When a backend is created, it is registered in the collection
`gptel--known-backends` and can be accessed by name later, such as from the
transient menu.
Only one of these backends is active at any time in a buffer, stored in the
buffer-local variable `gptel-backend`. Most messaging, authentication etc
accounts for the active backend, although there might be some leftovers.
When using `gptel-request` or `gptel-send`, the active backend can be changed or
let-bound.
- Obsolete `gptel-host`
- Fix the rear-sticky property when restoring sessions from files.
- Document some variables (not user options), like `gptel--debug`
gptel-openai.el (gptel-backend, gptel-make-openai, gptel-make-azure,
gptel-make-gpt4all): This file (currently always loaded) sets up the generic
backend struct and includes constructors for creating OpenAI, GPT4All and Azure
backends. They all use the same API so a single set of defgeneric
implemenations suffices for all of them.
gptel-ollama.el (gptel-make-ollama): This file includes the cl-struct,
constructor and requisite defgeneric implementations for Ollama support.
gptel-transient.el (gptel-menu, gptel-provider-variable, gptel--infix-provider,
gptel-suffix-send):
- Provide access to all available LLM backends and models from `gptel-menu`.
- Adjust keybindings in gptel-menu: setting the model and query parameters is
now bound to two char keybinds, while redirecting input and output is bound to
single keys.
