## Introduction
LLMConnect API is a developer-friendly Python-based CLI utility designed to manage and execute Large Language Models (LLMs) on local servers or clusters. It enables users to run a variety of standard and custom tasks with popular models such as Llama-2, Mistral, Falcon, etc., and also supports the integration of new LLMs.


## Features
- Task Versatility: Execute predefined tasks like NER, Sentiment Analysis, Summarisation, or craft your own.
- LLM Selection: Choose from an array of predefined models or add your custom LLMs.
- Configurable Parameters: Adjust model settings like token limits and temperature for optimal performance.
- Adaptable Environments: Operate seamlessly on local servers and extend to local network clusters.
- Hardware Compatibility: Ensure efficient LLM functioning with GPU compatibility checks and memory monitoring.

CLI Interface:
- Navigate tasks, models, and hardware diagnostics with simple, intuitive commands.
:female-technologist: Development & Security:
- Developed in Python 3.x, emphasising seamless LLM integration, comprehensive testing (via pytest), and detailed documentation.
- Features enhanced input validation for secure, reliable operations.

Deployment:
- Eager to experience the power of Large Language Models through a Python-based Command Line Interface? LLMConnect API is your gateway to harnessing this technology on your local systems!
