Getting started
If you have an OpenAI API key you can get started using the OpenAI models right away.
(You can install plugins to access models by other providers, including models that can be installed and run on your own device.)
Save your OpenAI API key like this:
llm keys set openai
This will prompt you for your key like so:
llm keys set openai
Enter key: <paste here>
Now that you've saved a key you can run a prompt like this:
llm "Five cute names for a pet penguin"
1. Waddles
2. Pebbles
3. Bubbles
4. Flappy
5. Chilly
