Version 0.9.8 of package Gptel has just been released in NonGNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Gptel describes itself as: =================================== Interact with ChatGPT or other LLMs =================================== More at https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/gptel.html ## Summary: gptel is a simple Large Language Model chat client, with support for multiple models and backends. It works in the spirit of Emacs, available at any time and in any buffer. gptel supports: - The services ChatGPT, Azure, Gemini, Anthropic AI, Anyscale, Together.ai, Perplexity, Anyscale, OpenRouter, Groq, PrivateGPT, DeepSeek, Cerebras, Github Models, Novita AI, xAI and Kagi (FastGPT & Summarizer). - Local models via Ollama, Llama.cpp, Llamafiles or GPT4All Additionally, any LLM service (local or remote) that provides an OpenAI-compatible API is supported. Features: ## Recent NEWS: # -*- mode: org; -*- * 0.9.9 ** New features and UI changes - The new option ~gptel-curl-extra-args~ can be used to specify extra arguments to the Curl command used for the request. This is the global version of the gptel-backend-specific ~:curl-args~ slot, which can be used to specify Curl arguments when using a specific backend. * 0.9.8 2025-03-13 Version 0.9.8 adds support for new Gemini, Anthropic, OpenAI, Perplexity, and DeepSeek models, introduces LLM tool use/function calling, a redesign of ~gptel-menu~, includes new customization hooks, dry-run options and refined settings, improvements to the rewrite feature and control of LLM "reasoning" content. ** Breaking changes - ~gemini-pro~ has been removed from the list of Gemini models, as this model is no longer supported by the Gemini API. - Sending an active region in Org mode will now apply Org mode-specific rules to the text, such as branching context. - The following obsolete variables and functions have been removed: - ~gptel-send-menu~: Use ~gptel-menu~ instead. - ~gptel-host~: Use ~gptel-make-openai~ instead. - ~gptel-playback~: Use ~gptel-stream~ instead. - ~gptel--debug~: Use ~gptel-log-level~ instead. ** New models and backends - Add support for several new Gemini models including ~gemini-2.0-flash~, ~gemini-2.0-pro-exp~ and ~gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp~, among others. - Add support for the Anthropic model ~claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219~, including its "reasoning" output. - Add support for OpenAI's ~o1~, ~o3-mini~ and ~gpt-4.5-preview~ models. - Add support for Perplexity. While gptel supported Perplexity in earlier releases by reusing its OpenAI support, there is now first class support for the Perplexity API, including citations. - Add support for DeepSeek. While gptel supported DeepSeek in earlier releases by reusing its OpenAI support, there is now first class support for the DeepSeek API, including support for handling "reasoning" output. ** New features and UI changes - ~gptel-rewrite~ now supports iterating on responses. - gptel supports the ability to simulate/dry-run requests so you can see exactly what will be sent. This payload preview can now be edited in place and the request continued. - Directories can now be added to gptel's global context. Doing so will add all files in the directory recursively. - "Oneshot" settings: when using gptel's Transient menus, request parameters, directives and tools can now be set for the next request only in addition to globally across the Emacs session and buffer-locally. This is useful for making one-off requests with different settings. - ~gptel-mode~ can now be used in all modes derived from ~text-mode~. - gptel now tries to handle LLM responses that are in mixed Org/Markdown markup correctly. - Add ~gptel-org-convert-response~ to toggle the automatic conversion of (possibly) Markdown-formatted LLM responses to Org markup where appropriate. - You can now look up registered gptel backends using the ~gptel-get-backend~ function. This is intended to make scripting and configuring gptel easier. ~gptel-get-backend~ is a generalized variable so you can (un)set backends with ~setf~. - Tool use: gptel now supports LLM tool use, or function calling. Essentially you can equip the LLM with capabilities (such as filesystem access, web search, control of Emacs or introspection of Emacs' state and more) that it can use to perform tasks for you. gptel runs these tools using argument values provided by the LLMs. This requires specifying tools, which are elisp functions with plain text descriptions of their arguments and results. gptel does not include any tools out of the box yet. - You can look up registered gptel tools using the ~gptel-get-tool~ function. This is intended to make scripting and configuring gptel easier. ~gptel-get-tool~ is a generalized variable so you can (un)set tools with ~setf~. - New hooks for customization: ... ...
