  1 Introduction
  ══════════════

    This library provides an interface for interacting with Large Language
    Models (LLMs). It allows elisp code to use LLMs while also giving
    end-users the choice to select their preferred LLM. This is
    particularly beneficial when working with LLMs since various
    high-quality models exist, some of which have paid API access, while
    others are locally installed and free but offer medium
    quality. Applications using LLMs can utilize this library to ensure
    compatibility regardless of whether the user has a local LLM or is
    paying for API access.
