About
Note: Starting with version 1.x, RLLM has become a simple wrapper around llm. Both crates will be actively maintained and kept in sync. If you are new to this ecosystem, you can use either llm directly or rllm - they provide the same features.
RLLM is a Rust library that lets you use multiple LLM backends in a single project: OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Ollama, DeepSeek, xAI, Phind, Groq and Google. With a unified API and builder style - similar to the Stripe experience - you can easily create chat or text completion requests without multiplying structures and crates.

Base crate is : LLM
Key Features
- Multi-backend: Manage OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, DeepSeek, xAI, Phind, Groq and Google through a single entry point.
- Multi-step chains: Create multi-step chains with different backends at each step.
- Templates: Use templates to create complex prompts with variables.
- Builder pattern: Configure your LLM (model, temperature, max_tokens, timeouts...) with a few simple calls.
- Chat & Completions: Two unified traits (
ChatProviderandCompletionProvider) to cover most use cases. - Extensible: Easily add new backends.
- Rust-friendly: Designed with clear traits, unified error handling, and conditional compilation via features.
- Validation: Add validation to your requests to ensure the output is what you expect.
- Evaluation: Add evaluation to your requests to score the output of LLMs.
- Parallel Evaluation: Evaluate multiple LLM providers in parallel and select the best response based on scoring functions.
- Function calling: Add function calling to your requests to use tools in your LLMs.
- REST API: Serve any LLM backend as a REST API with openai standard format.
- Vision: Add vision to your requests to use images in your LLMs.
- Reasoning: Add reasoning to your requests to use reasoning in your LLMs.
- Structured Output: Request structured output from certain LLM providers based on a provided JSON schema.
- Speech to text: Transcribe audio to text

Order: strongest tier first, then most downloads, then name, with unmeasured values last. A library counts downloads over 30 days. An app counts binary downloads per release. An app with none counts its crate downloads over 30 days. ML Rust runs this catalogue, so its closest project always gets a row.

Why ListedNo archive, New or Featured rule places it, so it is Listed.
What it lacks for Featured
- It has 1 active dependents and 0 new dependents in 365 days. Featured needs 11 active dependents or 9 new dependents in 365 days. The repository route reads 137 stars, 4 forks and 1 contributor. It needs 4,539 stars, 434 forks and 79 contributors together.
What else the check found
- The last activity is on 20 May 2025, 538 days ago. The rules expect an update within 700 days. Dormancy rule
