They're dumping competition on two other open source python libraries LiteLLM and simonw's llm. Unlike these two, Mozilla's any-llm doesn't have to make money. I'm sure simonw will be welcoming because he's a friendly kind of guy, but it might seem frustrating to LiteLLM which has a paid offering, for which they'd prefer organic competition rather than whatever magic 8 ball Mozilla uses.

I don’t think those are comparable. simonw's llm Has a python SDK, but it’s very much CLI first. Light LLM is very much about the SDK. You can wrap some agent SDK’s around it, like Gemini, but that’s for agents not work flows. I can’t really think of them as in the same category.

llm is a lot about the Python API (or SDK) as well: https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html

It shows how to use it async or sync, and even handles using async in a sync context.

It's hard to write a good CLI without also writing most of a Python API, and llm went the rest of the way by documenting it. I think llm has the best docs of the Python API of the three.
