The article discusses the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into command-line interfaces (CLIs), exploring how users can leverage LLMs to enhance productivity and automate tasks in their terminal workflows. It also highlights various tools and frameworks that facilitate this integration, providing practical examples and potential use cases for developers and system administrators.

Sidekick is an open-source CLI-based AI tool designed as an alternative to existing AI coding assistants, allowing users to choose from various LLM providers without vendor lock-in. It features a flexible system for managing AI models, project-specific guidance, and a user-friendly command line interface, currently in beta and actively developed. Users can easily install it and configure their preferences for enhanced productivity.

The article introduces the "create-llm" CLI tool, designed to quickly scaffold and train custom language models using PyTorch. It offers various templates for different project sizes and needs, along with a comprehensive toolkit that simplifies the entire training process from architecture to deployment. The tool aims to streamline the creation of language models, making it accessible and efficient for developers.
