This repository provides Neovim scripts for interacting with Large Language Models (LLMs), aimed at developers and power users seeking to integrate AI assistance directly into their coding workflow. It offers a lightweight, event-driven approach to LLM integration, designed to avoid potential deadlocks found in other implementations.

How It Works

The plugin leverages Neovim's event system via plenary.nvim for asynchronous LLM interactions, a departure from timed loops. This event-driven architecture is intended to provide a more stable and responsive experience. It supports multiple LLM providers (OpenAI-compatible APIs, Groq, Anthropic, Lambda Labs) and allows for custom API call formatting and response handling, enabling flexible integration with various LLM services.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install via lazy.nvim or similar package managers:

{
  'yacineMTB/dingllm.nvim',
  dependencies = { 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim' },
  config = function()
    -- ... configuration ...
  end,
}

• Requires plenary.nvim.
• API keys for desired LLM providers must be set as environment variables (e.g., OPEN_ROUTER_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY, LAMBDA_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY).
• Configuration involves defining LLM endpoints, models, system prompts, and key mappings.

Highlighted Details

• Event-driven LLM interaction using plenary.nvim to prevent editor deadlocks.
• Supports multiple LLM providers including Groq, Anthropic, Lambda Labs, and OpenRouter.
• Allows customization of API call arguments and response handling functions.
• Provides example configurations for replacing or augmenting code with LLM output.

Maintenance & Community

The project is a fork and rewrite of melbaldove/llm.nvim. The author indicates a willingness to push breaking changes and recommends users read and copy the code directly. No specific community channels or roadmap are linked in the README.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository does not explicitly state a license. The README mentions it's a fork of melbaldove/llm.nvim, which is licensed under the MIT License. Users should verify licensing for commercial or closed-source use.

Limitations & Caveats

The author explicitly states they will be pushing breaking changes, suggesting a potentially unstable development state. The project is described as "no frills" and "really simple," implying a focus on core functionality rather than extensive features or robust error handling.
