I actually wish that no one took the llm namespace. It's annoyingly vague.

I think it's a pretty great name for my tool, given that it lets you interact with dozens of different LLMs via plugins.

Plus I like that it's three letters, since it's designed for CLI usage.

But your tool isn't an llm. llmt for e.g. llm tool could be better

Yes - at the same time it would similarly fit other tools where some form of working with LLMs is the main feature. And with time we might get more of these.

At least it’s not called “ai”, we have that already, e.g. https://github.com/yufeikang/ai-cli

Sure, but it’s not like you own the name LLM.

I mean, let’s say you picked say, “ghost pony”; ok, sure, it’s obviously a name.

But LLM? I mean, it’s not like you can get a lot more generic than that. If your tools name is “tool” and some else makes a tool called “tool”, you can’t really complain that much…

This is kinda how I feel about HTTPie taking using 'http' in the CLI.

Almost every package is vague if you're just going off names of packages. Is 'pandas' some kind of screensaver showcasing the cute animals?

I like what Go does (I know, the irony). Buy a domain name, that's your namespace.

If the name is available, someone will take it, and I can think of no better steward of it than Simon
