And now that the client's done, it was pretty easy to turn a remote OpenAPI spec into RubyLLM tools, so that I can chat with the API.

Of course, RubyLLM works great on JRuby! And then you also have access to a world of AI and ML tooling on the JVM like Langchain4J and official TensorFlow bindings. I'm glad to see communities like Ruby's working to compete with Python in the AI space.

Iโ€™m an AI skeptic, but Carmineโ€™s talk on RubyLLM at #EuRuKo is super exciting. And the Ruby code snippets are ๐Ÿ’ฏ.

HN discussion on a 94-line Ruby coding agent using RubyLLM. Explores Ruby for AI tasks, LLMs in agentic AI, and the balance of libraries vs. core code. Overview of the thread. #AIagent 1/5

The brevity of the "94 lines" agent heavily leverages the RubyLLM library. The discussion highlighted the balance between using powerful libraries and the significance of the custom core logic in such projects. #Programming 3/5

Took a little while to get back to this, but I will be releasing a new library to tie in LLM-generated explanations to # brakeman warnings soon. It essentially wraps RubyLLM so you can call into any of the supported providers very easily.

Charles Oliver Nutter shared that JRuby 10 is passing the Ruby spec suite with only a few issues left

Loving RubyLLM! Definitely simplifies the integration of LLMs with Rails. As someone who has to build and ship web apps with Gen AI frequently, the speed up and enforcing of best practices is great. Will definitely be using this heavily. Thanks @paolino.me!
