VERSION

SYNOPSIS

my $system_prompt = 'You are a helpful assistant.';

# Local models via Ollama
use Langertha::Engine::Ollama;

my $ollama = Langertha::Engine::Ollama->new(
    url           => 'http://127.0.0.1:11434',
    model         => 'llama3.1',
    system_prompt => $system_prompt,
);
print $ollama->simple_chat('Do you wanna build a snowman?');

# OpenAI
use Langertha::Engine::OpenAI;

my $openai = Langertha::Engine::OpenAI->new(
    api_key       => $ENV{OPENAI_API_KEY},
    model         => 'gpt-4o-mini',
    system_prompt => $system_prompt,
);
print $openai->simple_chat('Do you wanna build a snowman?');

# Anthropic Claude
use Langertha::Engine::Anthropic;

my $claude = Langertha::Engine::Anthropic->new(
    api_key => $ENV{ANTHROPIC_API_KEY},
    model   => 'claude-sonnet-4-6',
);
print $claude->simple_chat('Generate Perl Moose classes to represent GeoJSON data.');

# Google Gemini
use Langertha::Engine::Gemini;

my $gemini = Langertha::Engine::Gemini->new(
    api_key => $ENV{GEMINI_API_KEY},
    model   => 'gemini-2.5-flash',
);
print $gemini->simple_chat('Explain the difference between Moose and Moo.');

DESCRIPTION

Langertha provides a unified Perl interface for interacting with various Large Language Model (LLM) APIs. It abstracts away provider-specific differences, giving you a consistent API whether you're using OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Ollama, Groq, Mistral, or other providers.

THIS API IS WORK IN PROGRESS.

Key Features

  • Unified API across multiple LLM providers

  • Streaming support via callback, iterator, or Future

  • Async/await syntax via Future::AsyncAwait

  • Role-based architecture for easy extensibility

  • JSON response handling

  • Temperature, response size, and other parameter controls

Engine Modules

Roles

Roles provide composable functionality to engines:

Data Objects

Streaming

All engines that implement Langertha::Role::Chat support streaming. There are several ways to consume a stream:

Synchronous with callback:

$engine->simple_chat_stream(sub {
    my ($chunk) = @_;
    print $chunk->content;
}, 'Tell me a story');

Synchronous with iterator (Langertha::Stream):

my $stream = $engine->simple_chat_stream_iterator('Tell me a story');
while (my $chunk = $stream->next) {
    print $chunk->content;
}

Async with Future (traditional):

my $future = $engine->simple_chat_f('Hello');
my $response = $future->get;

my $future = $engine->simple_chat_stream_f('Tell me a story');
my ($content, $chunks) = $future->get;

Async with Future::AsyncAwait (recommended):

use Future::AsyncAwait;

async sub chat_with_ai {
    my ($engine) = @_;
    my $response = await $engine->simple_chat_f('Hello');
    say "AI says: $response";
    return $response;
}

async sub stream_chat {
    my ($engine) = @_;
    my ($content, $chunks) = await $engine->simple_chat_stream_realtime_f(
        sub { print shift->content },
        'Tell me a story',
    );
    say "\nReceived ", scalar(@$chunks), " chunks";
    return $content;
}

chat_with_ai($engine)->get;
stream_chat($engine)->get;

The _f methods use IO::Async and Net::Async::HTTP internally, loaded lazily only when you call them. See examples/async_await_example.pl for complete working examples.

Using with Mojolicious:

use Mojo::Base -strict;
use Future::Mojo;
use Langertha::Engine::OpenAI;

my $openai = Langertha::Engine::OpenAI->new(
    api_key => $ENV{OPENAI_API_KEY},
    model   => 'gpt-4o-mini',
);

my $future = $openai->simple_chat_stream_realtime_f(
    sub { print shift->content },
    'Hello!',
);
$future->on_done(sub {
    my ($content, $chunks) = @_;
    say "Done: $content";
});
Mojo::IOLoop->start;
