I built a tool for that back in March: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Mar/26/llm-cmd/

    llm cmd use imagemagick to convert goats.jpg into four different JPEG qualities

I ran that just now and it suggested:

    convert goats.jpg -quality 10 goats_quality_10.jpg && \
      convert goats.jpg -quality 30 goats_quality_30.jpg && \
      convert goats.jpg -quality 50 goats_quality_50.jpg && \
      convert goats.jpg -quality 90 goats_quality_90.jpg

Which, sure enough, produced me a bunch of different quality images!

Your tool is really cool, thanks for making it and sharing.

I notice that a lot of times, the multi-line output I get from my prompts is truncated or the model just aborts or something. The exit code is still 0 but it seems like something went wrong.

Which model / plugin are you using there?

I'm using Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct.

BTW it's a great project and I see it's gotten massive adoption on Github, with plenty of Issues to follow. Curse of success!

Thanks again.

EDIT: Created an Issue for it, probably a more appropriate place to file this ;)
