Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Guidance-like library for Node.js

This library is a port of the Guidance library for Node.js. It allows you to generate text from templates using a Language Model (LLM) and an endpoint that can generate text from a prompt.

Installation

npm install @mikugg/guidance

Usage

You can use end OpenAI endpoint to generate text from templates. The template processor will generate text from the template and then use the generated text as a prompt to the OpenAI endpoint. The generated text will be appended to the template and the process will repeat until the stop condition is met. The endpoint needs to support structured_outputs: { choice: string[]} https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/features/structured_outputs/

import * as Guidance from '@mikugg/guidance';

const tokenizer = new Guidance.Tokenizer.LLaMATokenizer();
const generator = new Guidance.TokenGenerator.OpenAITokenGenerator({
  apiKey: 'sk-EMPTY',
  baseURL: 'http://localhost:2242/v1',
  model: 'mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1',
});
const templateProcessor = new Guidance.Template.TemplateProcessor(tokenizer, generator);

let result = await templateProcessor
  .processTemplate(
    `Common sense question and answer, with short answers
  Question: What is your favorite food?
  Answer: "Sushi."
  Question: What is your favorite color?
  Answer: "Blue."
  Question: What is your favorite animal?
  Answer: "{{GEN response stop=" }}"`,
    new Map([]),
  )
  .then((result) => {
    console.log(result.entries()); // {"response": "Elephant."}
  });

Select from a list of options

You can provide an array of options to select the next text. The TemplateProcessor will increase the probability of one of those options being selected by the LLM.

import * as Guidance from '@mikugg/guidance';

const tokenizer = new Guidance.Tokenizer.LLaMATokenizer();
const generator = new Guidance.TokenGenerator.OpenAITokenGenerator({
  apiKey: 'sk-EMPTY',
  baseURL: 'http://localhost:2242/v1',
  model: 'mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1',
});
const templateProcessor = new Guidance.Template.TemplateProcessor(tokenizer, generator);

let result = await templateProcessor.processTemplate(
  `RPG Game Character specification
  {
    "name": "{{name}}",
    "job": "{{GEN job stop=",}}",
    "armor": "{{SEL armor options=valid_armors}}",
    "weapon": "{{SEL weapon options=valid_weapons}}",
    "pants": "{{SEL pants options=valid_pants}}"
  }`,
  new Map<string, string[] | string>([
    ['name', 'Rudeus'],
    ['valid_armors', ['plate', 'leather']],
    ['valid_weapons', ["axe", "mace", "spear", "sword", "bow", "crossbow"]],
    ['valid_pants', ['leather_jacket', 'leather_shorts', 'hat']], // Should select leather_shorts
  ])
).then((result) => {
  console.log(result.entries());
});
