GitHub - crabhi/vim-llmchat: Editable interactive chat with large language models directly in your editor
Mar 08, 2024 - github.com
The article introduces vim-llmchat, a plugin that allows editable interactive chat with large language models directly in your editor. Unlike other tools, this plugin uses the buffer directly, enabling immediate saving and editing of conversations. Users can even modify the chatbot's responses to control the dialogue flow. The plugin requires the Python OpenAI module and works with the 'llmchat' filetype. Users can modify the chatbot's "personality" with a system prompt and initiate dialogue where user prompts start with '>' and the chatbot's replies are printed as paragraphs.
The installation process involves cloning the plugin from GitHub and installing the Python OpenAI module. It is recommended to map the 'llmchat#send()' call to a key sequence. The plugin supports only the OpenAI provider at the moment. The file structure starts with options, with the only supported option being the model name. The default value is 'gpt-3.5-turbo'. The plugin allows users to copy, paste, and modify any part of the text file.
