Chatformers

⚡ Chatformers is a Python package designed to simplify the development of chatbot applications that use Large Language Models (LLMs). It offers automatic chat history management using a local vector database (ChromaDB, Qdrant or Pgvector), ensuring efficient context retrieval for ongoing conversations.

Install

pip install chatformers
