RE: Interface

Conceptually, there are of course many different potential layers or services you might want to interface to. Most of the models provide an API for “direct” use of the model (sending a prompt and getting a response). This is not necessarily talking to an orchestrator or “agent” that has been specialized for a particular use, like chat or coding (with support for hierarchical planning, tool calling, etc.)

Joe Marshall shared an example that happens to use the Gemini API, mostly based around cl-json.

Abstract Heresies: Gemini API<https://funcall.blogspot.com/2025/09/gemini.html>

This could easily be extended to talk to other frontier provider APIs.

I would love to see something like this extended to a Lispy “LLM experimentation playground” akin to something like this<https://youtu.be/t8oy-5AAjqg?si=4i3K3gPq4n4H8aBx>.

You can in theory effectively build your own orchestrator on top of one of these APIs (say, specialized for robot planning).

Some guy ported it to Python and apparently that became FOSS.

Well... Now that Anthropic's client-side code is released,
either inadvertently, as a publicity stunt or April Fool,
can we use their own tool to port the TypeScript to Lisp?
