Source: https://github.com/ysz/recursive-llm/blob/main/README.md

This snippet is a conceptual example illustrating how an RLM might interact with context within a Python REPL environment. It shows methods like peeking at the start of the context, searching using regular expressions, and making recursive calls to process specific segments of the context.

```python
# Peek at context
context[:1000]

# Search with regex
import re
re.findall(r'pattern', context)

# Recursive processing
recursive_llm("extract dates", context[1000:2000])
```

--------------------------------

### API Key Setup for RLM (Bash and Python)

Source: https://github.com/ysz/recursive-llm/blob/main/README.md

Illustrates two methods for setting up API keys for LLM providers used by RLM: setting an environment variable (e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY) in the bash shell, or passing the API key directly as an argument during RLM initialization in Python.

```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."  # or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, etc.
```

```python
rlm = RLM(model="gpt-5-mini", api_key="sk-...")
```

--------------------------------

### RLM Multiple LLM Provider Integration

rlm_openai_mini = RLM(model="gpt-4o-mini")

# Anthropic Claude
rlm_claude = RLM(model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514")
rlm_claude_opus = RLM(model="claude-opus-4-20250514")

# Google Gemini
rlm_gemini = RLM(model="gemini/gemini-pro")

# Ollama (local)
rlm_ollama = RLM(model="ollama/llama3.2")
rlm_ollama_mistral = RLM(model="ollama/mistral")

# llama.cpp (local)
rlm_llamacpp = RLM(
    model="openai/local",
    api_base="http://localhost:8000/v1"
)

# Azure OpenAI
rlm_azure = RLM(
    model="azure/gpt-4-deployment-name",

### Environment Setup and API Key Configuration in Python

Source: https://context7.com/ysz/recursive-llm/llms.txt

Shows how to configure API keys for the RLM library using environment variables or directly in code. It covers loading from a .env file and verifying the presence of the API key.

```python
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from rlm import RLM

# Method 1: Environment variables
load_dotenv()  # Loads from .env file
# .env file contents:
# OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

rlm = RLM(model="gpt-4o-mini")  # Uses OPENAI_API_KEY from environment

# Method 2: Direct in code
rlm = RLM(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    api_key="sk-..."
)

# Method 3: Shell export
# $ export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
# Then in Python:
rlm = RLM(model="gpt-4o-mini")

# Verify API key is set
if not os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"):
    print("Error: OPENAI_API_KEY not found!")
    print("Set it with: export OPENAI_API_KEY='sk-...'`)
    exit(1)
```

Source: https://github.com/ysz/recursive-llm/blob/main/README.md

Demonstrates the basic usage of the RLM library to initialize an RLM instance with a specified model and perform a completion task on a long document. The context is passed as a variable, not directly in the prompt, to avoid context rot.

```python
from rlm import RLM

# Initialize with any LLM
rlm = RLM(model="gpt-5-mini")

# Process long context
result = rlm.completion(
    query="What are the main themes in this document?",
    context=long_document
)
print(result)
```

rlm = RLM(
    model="gpt-5-mini",
    max_depth=5,         # Maximum recursion depth
    max_iterations=20,   # Maximum REPL iterations
    temperature=0.7,     # LLM parameters
    timeout=60
)
```

--------------------------------

### RLM Advanced Configuration: Two Models (Python)

Source: https://github.com/ysz/recursive-llm/blob/main/README.md

Demonstrates an advanced RLM usage pattern where two different models are specified: a primary 'model' for main decisions and a 'recursive_model' for cheaper recursive calls, optimizing cost for long context processing.

```python
rlm = RLM(
    model="gpt-5",              # Root LM (main decisions)
    recursive_model="gpt-5-mini"  # Recursive calls (cheaper)
)
```

--------------------------------

### REPL Environment Operations in Python

Source: https://context7.com/ysz/recursive-llm/llms.txt

Demonstrates various operations within a safe Python REPL environment accessible to the LLM. Includes context peeking, regex searching, counting, chunking, recursive calls, data extraction, and using collections.Counter.

```python
# Inside the REPL environment, the LLM can write code like:

# Peek at the beginning of context
context[:1000]

# Search with regex
import re
dates = re.findall(r'\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}', context)
print(f"Found {len(dates)} dates: {dates}")

# Count occurrences
error_count = len(re.findall(r'ERROR', context))
warning_count = len(re.findall(r'WARN', context))
print(f"Errors: {error_count}, Warnings: {warning_count}")

# Split and analyze chunks
chunks = [context[i:i+1000] for i in range(0, len(context), 1000)]
chunk_lengths = [len(chunk) for chunk in chunks]
print(f"Split into {len(chunks)} chunks")

# Recursive processing of sub-sections
chapter_1 = context[1000:5000]
summary = recursive_llm("Summarize this chapter", chapter_1)
print(summary)

# Extract structured data
import json
numbers = re.findall(r'\$[\\d,]+', context)
amounts = [int(n.replace('$', '').replace(',', '')) for n in numbers]
total = sum(amounts)
print(f"Total: ${total:,}")

# Use Counter for aggregation
from collections import Counter
words = context.lower().split()
common_words = Counter(words).most_common(10)
print(common_words)

# Return final answer
FINAL("The analysis shows...")
```

The History of Artificial Intelligence

Introduction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed from a theoretical concept to a practical reality
over the past several decades. This document explores key milestones in AI development.

The 1950s: The Birth of AI
In 1950, Alan Turing published "Computing Machinery and Intelligence," introducing the famous
Turing Test. The term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined in 1956 at the Dartmouth Conference
by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, and others.

The 1960s-1970s: Early Optimism
During this period, researchers developed early AI programs like ELIZA (1966) and expert systems. 
However, limitations in computing power led to the first "AI Winter" in the 1970s.

The 1980s-1990s: Expert Systems and Neural Networks
Expert systems became commercially successful in the 1980s. The backpropagation algorithm
revitalized neural network research in 1986.

The 2000s-2010s: Machine Learning Revolution
The rise of big data and powerful GPUs enabled deep learning breakthroughs. In 2012,
AlexNet won the ImageNet competition, marking a turning point for deep learning.

The 2020s: Large Language Models
GPT-3 (2020) and ChatGPT (2022) demonstrated unprecedented language understanding capabilities.
These models have billions of parameters and are trained on vast amounts of text data.

Conclusion
AI continues to evolve rapidly, with applications in healthcare, transportation, education,
and countless other domains. The future promises even more exciting developments.

It requires the `asyncio` library and demonstrates how to gather results from multiple `acompletion` tasks.

```python
import asyncio
from rlm import RLM

async def process_documents():
    rlm = RLM(
        model="gpt-4o-mini",
        max_iterations=20,
        temperature=0.7
    )

    # Process multiple queries concurrently
    queries = [
        "Summarize the main themes",
        "Extract all important dates",
        "List key people mentioned"
    ]

    tasks = [
        rlm.acompletion(query, document)
        for query in queries
    ]

    results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)

    for query, result in zip(queries, results):
        print(f"
{query}:\n{result}")

    return results

# Run async code
asyncio.run(process_documents())
