llm-api-translator

Simple script to reformat text objects passed to ChatGPT and Claude API, with the goal of achieving parity between results despite different input formats.

Addresses common challenges when working with multiple LLM providers:

• Standardizing message formats across different APIs
• Managing conversation history and system instructions
• Handling token limits and message ordering
• Providing a consistent interface regardless of the underlying LLM

Usage

Initialize translator

translator = LLMAPITranslator()

Create a conversation

system_instructions = [
"You are a helpful assistant",
"Please be concise in your responses"
]
conversation = translator.create_conversation(system_instructions)

Add messages

conversation.add_message("user", "Hello!")
conversation.add_message("assistant", "Hi there!")

Get formatted messages for different APIs

openai_format = conversation.get_formatted_messages("gpt-4")
claude_format = conversation.get_formatted_messages("claude-3-opus")

Features

• Unified message format
• Automatic API-specific formatting
• Token tracking and management
• Chronological message ordering
• System instruction handling
• Multi-conversation support
