State

When calling an LLM from your code, the LLM only knows the history you provide it.

When using llm-exe, the state is something you need to manage. To help provide a concept of memory to your LLM's, we provide a simple state module.

The state module consists of 3 concepts:

  • Dialogues
  • Context
  • Attributes

Dialogues are a place to store conversation history, internal dialogues, really any conversation that is taking place with an LLM. You can have one or many dialogues. When you create a new dialogue, you should provide a key, which allows you to access the dialogue from the state later if needed.

TODO: Describe Context & Attributes. In summary, attributes are meant to be a basic object, context can more robust classes.

State has a saveState() method that can be customized to save the state to a database.

Initializing a state object is as simple as:

ts
const state = createState()

If you wanted to store a chat conversation dialogue, you could:

ts
const state = createState()

// this creates a new dialogue in the state, and returns it
const chatHistory = state.createDialogue("chatHistory");

// we can use this directly
// chatHistory.setUserMessage("Hey anyone there?");


// or get again from state object
// state.getDialogue("chatHistory").setAssistantMessage("Yep! Whats up?");

Saving state

ts
// this needs to be implemented by you if you want to save somewhere
await state.saveState()
