LLxprt Code is a powerful fork of Google's Gemini CLI, enhanced with multi-provider support and improved theming. We thank Google for their excellent foundation and will continue to track and merge upstream changes as long as practical.

• Multi-Provider Support: Direct access to OpenAI (o3), Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, plus OpenRouter, Fireworks, and local models
• Enhanced Theme Support: Beautiful themes applied consistently across the entire tool
• Full Gemini CLI Compatibility: All original features work seamlessly, including Google authentication via /auth
• Local Model Support: Run models locally with LM Studio, llama.cpp, or any OpenAI-compatible server
• Flexible Configuration: Switch providers, models, and API keys on the fly

With LLxprt Code you can:

• Query and edit large codebases with any LLM provider
• Use local models for privacy-sensitive work
• Switch between providers seamlessly within a session
• Leverage all the powerful tools and MCP servers from Gemini CLI
• Enjoy a beautifully themed interface across all commands

1. Prerequisites: Ensure you have Node.js version 20 or higher installed.

2. Install LLxprt Code:

   npm install -g @vybestack/llxprt-code

   Or run directly with npx:

   npx https://github.com/acoliver/llxprt-code

3. Run and configure:

   llxprt

   • Pick a beautiful theme
   • Choose your provider with /provider (defaults to Gemini)
   • Set up authentication as needed

Direct access to o3, o1, GPT-4.1, and other OpenAI models:

1. Get your API key from OpenAI
2. Configure LLxprt Code:

   /provider openai
   /key sk-your-openai-key-here
   /model o3-mini
   

Access Claude Sonnet 4, Claude Opus 4, and other Anthropic models:

1. Get your API key from Anthropic
2. Configure:

   /provider anthropic
   /key sk-ant-your-key-here
   /model claude-sonnet-4-20250115
   

Run models locally for complete privacy and control. LLxprt Code works with any OpenAI-compatible server.

Example with LM Studio:

1. Start LM Studio and load a model (e.g., Gemma 3B)
2. In LLxprt Code:

   /provider openai
   /baseurl http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1/
   /model gemma-3b-it
   

Example with llama.cpp:

1. Start llama.cpp server: ./server -m model.gguf -c 2048
2. In LLxprt Code:

   /provider openai
   /baseurl http://localhost:8080/v1/
   /model local-model
   

List available models:

/model

This shows all models available from your current provider.

Access 100+ models through OpenRouter:

1. Get your API key from OpenRouter
2. Configure LLxprt Code:

   /provider openai
   /baseurl https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/
   /key sk-or-v1-your-key-here
   /model anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet
   

For fast inference with popular open models:

1. Get your API key from Fireworks
2. Configure:

   /provider openai
   /baseurl https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1/
   /key fw_your-key-here
   /model accounts/fireworks/models/llama-v3p3-70b-instruct
   

You can still use Google's services:

1. With Google Account: Use /auth to sign in
2. With API Key:

   export GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

   Or use /key YOUR_API_KEY after selecting the gemini provider

• Set key for current session: /key your-api-key
• Load key from file: /keyfile ~/.keys/openai.txt
• Environment variables: Still supported for all providers

Start a new project:

cd new-project/
llxprt
> Create a Discord bot that answers questions using a FAQ.md file I will provide

Work with existing code:

git clone https://github.com/acoliver/llxprt-code
cd llxprt-code
llxprt
> Give me a summary of all the changes that went in yesterday

Use a local model for sensitive code:

llxprt
/provider openai
/baseurl http://localhost:1234/v1/
/model codellama-7b
