Configuration

Set your API keys:

# OpenAI
aineed --set-openai "your-api-key"

# Anthropic
aineed --set-anthropic "your-api-key"

# TogetherAI
aineed --set-togetherai "your-api-key"

# OpenRouter
aineed --set-openrouter "your-api-key"

Usage

Basic Text Generation

# Default model (togetherai:meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70b-instruct-turbo)
aineed -p "Who are the Anishinaabe?"

# Using OpenAI
aineed openai:gpt-3.5-turbo -p "who are the Anishinaabe?"

# Using OpenRouter
aineed openrouter:google/gemini-exp-1206:free -p "who are the Anishinaabe?" -o Anishinaabe.txt

Image Generation

# Using OpenAI DALL-E 3 (saves as dall-e-3_TIMESTAMP.png)
aineed openai:dall-e-3 -i -p "Cyberpunk Nanaboozhoo"

# Using TogetherAI FLUX (with custom output name)
aineed togetherai:black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell -i -p "Cyberpunk Nanaboozhoo" -o cyberpunk-nanaboozhoo.png

File Processing with Prompts

When using a file input with -f, you can provide a prompt with -p that will be prepended to the file content:

# Process a file with a specific instruction
aineed openai:gpt-4o -f story.txt -p "Take significant text and make it hashtags" -o story_optimized.txt

The API request will be formatted like so when using -p and -f:

USER PROMPT:
<your prompt>

FILE CONTENT:
<file content>

Streaming and Token Control

# Stream the response
aineed openai:gpt-4o-turbo -s -p "Tell me a story about Nanaboozhoo and the rabbits"

# Control max tokens and temperature
aineed openrouter:google/gemini-2.0-flash-exp --temp 0.9 -t 999 -p "Tell me a Nanaboozhoo fantasy adventure"

Setting Default Model

# Set a new default model
aineed -d "togetherai:meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70b-instruct-turbo"

Additional Examples of Use

aineed openai:gpt-4o -t 444 -p "Short story about Nanaboozhoo" -o nanaboozhoo.txt
cat nanaboozhoo.txt | aineed openrouter:google/gemini-2.0-flash-exp -p "Rephrase the story to be extra silly" -o nanaboozhoo-silly.txt
aineed anthropic:claude-3.5-sonnet-latest -s -f nanaboozhoo-silly.txt -p "End every sentence with hashtags" -o nanaboozhoo-silly-hashtags.txt

Translating Text

Translate a sentence from English to Spanish using Anthropic's Claude model:

aineed anthropic:claude-3.5-sonnet-latest -p "Translate the following sentence to Spanish: 'Artificial intelligence is transforming the world.'"

Creating Detailed Images

Generate a high-resolution image of a futuristic cityscape with TogetherAI's FLUX model:

aineed togetherai:black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell -i -p "Create a high-resolution image of Cyberpunk Nanaboozhoo" -o cyberpunk_nanaboozhoo.png

Automating File Processing

for file in reports/*.txt; do
    aineed openrouter:google/gemini-2.0-flash-exp -f "$file" -p "Summarize the key points of the following report." -o "summaries/$(basename "$file")"
done

Streaming Long-Form Content

Stream the generation of a comprehensive guide on machine learning with controlled token usage:

aineed openai:gpt-4o-mini -s -t 1500 -p "Write a comprehensive guide on machine learning, including definitions, algorithms, and applications."

Setting and Using Default Models

Set a default model and generate content without specifying the provider each time:

# Set the default model to OpenAI's GPT-4
aineed -d "openai:gpt-4o-mini"

# Now generate content using the default model
aineed -p "Describe the impact of climate change on global ecosystems and how indigenous people protect the majority of remaining healthy ecosystems." -o climate_change_impact.txt

Integrating with Other Tools

Use aineed in a shell script to automate the generation and processing of content:

#!/bin/bash

# Generate an article
aineed openai:gpt-4 -p "Write an article about the benefits of renewable energy." -o article.txt

# Summarize the article
aineed openai:gpt-4o -f article.txt -p "Summarize the main points of this article." -o summary.txt

# Log the actions
echo "Article and summary generated on $(date)" >> generation.log

Error Handling

The tool provides detailed error messages from providers to help troubleshoot:

• API key issues
• Rate limiting
• Connection problems
• Model access restrictions
• File I/O errors
