TypeScript

Current syntax

import * as ell from ‘ell-ai’

const hello = ell.simple({model: ‘o1-preview’}, async () => {
  const whatIsEll = await fetch(“https://docs.ell.so”).then(x=>x.text())

  let prompt = “What is ell?: “ + whatIsEll + “\n”

  prompt += ‘A numeronym is a word, usually an [abbreviation](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbreviation), composed partially or wholly of numerals. The term can be used to describe several different number-based constructs, but it most commonly refers to a contraction in which all letters between the first and last of a word are replaced with the number of omitted letters (for example, "i18n" for "internationalization")\n’

  prompt += “A half-numeronym omits the last letter./n”

  prompt += “e11 is a half-numeronym. You are an expert genius. Based on this context, come up with some creative ideas for what e11 stands for.”

  return prompt
})

#150

To run example:

ts-node -T examples/hello_world.ts

Feature parity

• Get LMP source
• Invocation trace
• Capture values of LMP locals
• SQLite storage
• Show LMPs in ell studio
• Streaming console output
• ell.simple
• ell.complex
• OpenAI provider + model
• Multimodal - image input
• Multimodal - image output
• Structured outputs
• Provider refactor
• Initial free vars, global vars, dependencies
• Uses, origin_trace
• Tools as functions (ell.tool)
• Tool calls

Housekeeping

• Test in a separate TypeScript project to rule out bugs that could come from tests being run in ell itself (fqn, tsc based on closest ts config etc)
• Automated tests
• Run tests in CI
• Build
• Publish command
• Custom runtime support - conditionally import modules with node:inspector dependency

Should we split ell-studio into a separate repository?

[MadcowD]

I think not until the spec matures.

Questions on remaining things:

1. Is “uses” the direct children of an lmp according to static analysis (not runtime invocation)?
2. When a dependent lmp changes, does the change propagate to all who depend on it and so on recursively i.e. parent hashes end up getting recalculated?
3. What is origin trace? “Root invocation id”?
4. For “dependencies”, “global vars”, “free vars” … what are they ? I also see initial free vars, initial global vars, not sure what they are or if they’re deprecated.
