Compared to other LM frameworks, kani is less opinionated and offers more fine-grained customizability over the parts of the control flow that matter, making it the perfect choice for NLP researchers, hobbyists, and developers alike. kani comes with support for the following models out of the box, with a model-agnostic framework to add support for many more: **Hosted Models** - OpenAI Models (GPT-3.5-turbo, GPT-4, GPT-4-turbo, GPT-4o) - Anthropic Models (Claude, Claude Instant) **Open Source Models** kani supports every chat model available on Hugging Face through `transformers` or `llama.cpp`! In particular, we have reference implementations for the following base models, and their fine-tunes: - [LLaMA 3](https://huggingface.co/collections/meta-llama/meta-llama-3-66214712577ca38149ebb2b6) (all sizes) - [Mistral-7B](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2), [Mixtral-8x7B](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1), and [Mixtral-8x22B](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x22B-Instruct-v0.1) - [Command R](https://huggingface.co/CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01) and [Command R+](https://huggingface.co/CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-plus) - [Gemma](https://huggingface.co/collections/google/gemma-release-65d5efbccdbb8c4202ec078b) (all sizes) - [LLaMA 2](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama) (all sizes) - [Vicuna v1.3](https://huggingface.co/lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3) Check out the [Model Zoo](examples/4_engines_zoo.py) to see how to use each of these models in your application! **Interested in contributing?

We will never decide for you how to format your own data, unlike other popular language model libraries. - **Fast to iterate and intuitive to learn** - With kani, you only write Python - we handle the rest. - **Asynchronous design from the start** - kani can scale to run multiple chat sessions in parallel easily, without having to manage multiple processes or programs. ## Installation kani requires Python 3.10 or above. To install model-specific dependencies, kani uses various extras (brackets after the library name in `pip install`). To determine which extra(s) to install, see the [model table](https://kani.readthedocs.io/en/latest/engines.html), or use the `[all]` extra to install everything. ```shell # for OpenAI models $ pip install "kani[openai]" # for Hugging Face models $ pip install "kani[huggingface]" torch # or install everything: $ pip install "kani[all]" ``` For the most up-to-date changes and new models, you can also install the development version from Git's `main` branch: ```shell $ pip install "kani[all] @ git+https://github.com/zhudotexe/kani.git@main" ``` ## Quickstart <a href="https://colab.research.google.com/github/zhudotexe/kani/blob/main/examples/colab_examples.ipynb"> <img alt="Quickstart in Colab" src="https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg"> </a> kani requires Python 3.10 or above. First, install the library. In this quickstart, we'll use the OpenAI engine, though kani is [model-agnostic](https://kani.readthedocs.io/en/latest/engines.html). ```shell $ pip install "kani[openai]" ``` Then, let's use kani to create a simple chatbot using ChatGPT as a backend. ```python # import the library import asyncio from kani import Kani, chat_in_terminal from kani.engines.openai import OpenAIEngine # Replace this with your OpenAI API key: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys api_key = "sk-..." # kani uses an Engine to interact with the language model. You can specify other model # parameters here, like temperature=0.7. engine = OpenAIEngine(api_key, model="gpt-4o-mini") # The kani manages the chat state, prompting, and function calling. Here, we only give # it the engine to call ChatGPT, but you can specify other parameters like # system_prompt="You are..." here. ai = Kani(engine) # kani comes with a utility to interact with a kani through your terminal... chat_in_terminal(ai) # or you can use kani programmatically in an async function! async def main(): resp = await ai.chat_round("What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?") print(resp.text) asyncio.run(main()) ``` kani makes the time to set up a working chat model short, while offering the programmer deep customizability over every prompt, function call, and even the underlying language model. ## Function Calling Function calling gives language models the ability to choose when to call a function you provide based off its documentation. With kani, you can write functions in Python and expose them to the model with just one line of code: the `@ai_function` decorator. ```python # import the library import asyncio from typing import Annotated from kani import AIParam, Kani, ai_function, chat_in_terminal, ChatRole from kani.engines.openai import OpenAIEngine # set up the engine as above api_key = "sk-..." engine = OpenAIEngine(api_key, model="gpt-4o-mini") # subclass Kani to add AI functions class MyKani(Kani): # Adding the annotation to a method exposes it to the AI @ai_function() def get_weather( self, # and you can provide extra documentation about specific parameters location: Annotated[str, AIParam(desc="The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA")], ): """Get the current weather in a given location.""" # In this example, we mock the return, but you could call a real weather API return f"Weather in {location}: Sunny, 72 degrees fahrenheit." ai = MyKani(engine) # the terminal utility allows you to test function calls... chat_in_terminal(ai) # and you can track multiple rounds programmatically. async def main(): async for msg in ai.full_round("What's the weather in Tokyo?"): print(msg.role, msg.text) asyncio.run(main()) ``` kani guarantees that function calls are valid by the time they reach your methods while allowing you to focus on writing code. For more information, check out [the function calling docs](https://kani.readthedocs.io/en/latest/function_calling.html). ## Streaming kani supports streaming responses from the underlying language model token-by-token, even in the presence of function calls. Streaming is designed to be a drop-in superset of the ``chat_round`` and ``full_round`` methods, allowing you to gradually refactor your code without ever leaving it in a broken state. ```python async def stream_chat(): stream = ai.chat_round_stream("What does kani mean?") async for token in stream: print(token, end="") print() msg = await stream.message() # or `await stream` async def stream_with_function_calling(): async for stream in ai.full_round_stream("What's the weather in Tokyo?"): async for token in stream: print(token, end="") print() msg = await stream.message() ``` ## Why kani? Existing frameworks for language models like LangChain and simpleaichat are opinionated and/or heavyweight - they edit developers' prompts under the hood, are challenging to learn, and are difficult to customize without adding a lot of high-maintenance bloat to your codebase. <img style="max-width: 800px;" alt="kani" src="docs/_static/lib-comparison_white.png"> We built kani as a more flexible, simple, and robust alternative. A good analogy between frameworks would be to say that kani is to LangChain as Flask (or FastAPI) is to Django. kani is appropriate for everyone from academic researchers to industry professionals to hobbyists to use without worrying about under-the-hood hacks. ## Docs To learn more about how to [customize kani with your own prompt wrappers](https://kani.readthedocs.io/en/latest/customization.html), [function calling](https://kani.readthedocs.io/en/latest/function_calling.html), and more, [read the docs!](http://kani.readthedocs.io/) Or take a look at the hands-on examples [in this repo](https://github.com/zhudotexe/kani/tree/main/examples). ## Demo Want to see kani in action?
