2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
koboldapi
Advanced tools
A Python library for interacting with KoboldCPP APIs, providing high-level abstractions for text processing, image handling, and generation tasks.
Text Processing
Image Processing
Template Management
API Integration
pip install koboldapi
from koboldapi import KoboldAPICore, ChunkingProcessor
# Initialize the API client
core = KoboldAPICore(api_url="http://localhost:5001")
# Create a chunking processor
chunker = ChunkingProcessor(core.api_client, max_chunk_length=2048)
# Process text
chunks, metadata = chunker.chunk_file("document.txt")
for chunk, token_count in chunks:
response = core.wrap_and_generate(
instruction="Summarize this text:",
content=chunk
)
print(response)
from koboldapi import KoboldAPICore, ImageProcessor
# Initialize processors
core = KoboldAPICore(api_url="http://localhost:5001")
processor = ImageProcessor(max_dimension=1024)
# Process image
encoded_image, img_path = processor.process_image("image.jpg")
response = core.wrap_and_generate(
instruction="Describe this image:",
images=[encoded_image]
)
print(response)
from koboldapi import KoboldAPICore
import asyncio
async def stream_example():
core = KoboldAPICore(api_url="http://localhost:5001")
# Stream tokens as they're generated
async for token in core.api_client.stream_generate(
prompt="Write a story about a robot:",
max_length=200
):
print(token, end='', flush=True)
# Or collect all tokens into final result
result = await core.api_client.generate_sync(
prompt="Write a story about a robot:",
max_length=200
)
print(result)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(stream_example())
The main interface for interacting with KoboldCPP APIs.
core = KoboldAPICore(
api_url="http://localhost:5001",
api_password=None, # Optional API password
generation_params={ # Optional generation parameters
'temp': 0.7,
'top_k': 40,
'top_p': 0.9
},
templates_directory="path/to/templates" # Optional custom templates
)
The ChunkingProcessor class handles text segmentation and processing:
chunker = ChunkingProcessor(
api_client, # KoboldAPI instance
max_chunk_length=2048, # Maximum tokens per chunk
max_total_chunks=1000 # Maximum number of chunks
)
# Process a file
chunks, metadata = chunker.chunk_file("document.txt")
# Process raw text
chunks = chunker.chunk_text("Your text content here")
The ImageProcessor class handles image preparation and optimization:
processor = ImageProcessor(
max_dimension=1024, # Maximum image dimension
patch_sizes=[8, 14, 16, 32], # Patch size options
max_file_size=50 * 1024 * 1024 # Maximum file size in bytes
)
# Process an image
encoded_image, path = processor.process_image("image.jpg")
Custom templates can be provided in JSON format:
{
"template_name": {
"name": ["model_name_pattern"],
"system_start": "\nSystem: ",
"system_end": "\n",
"user_start": "User: ",
"user_end": "\n",
"assistant_start": "Assistant: "
}
}
The package includes example scripts for common tasks:
python text-example.py input.txt \
--task translate \
--api-url http://localhost:5001 \
--language French \
--max-chunk-size 8192
Available tasks:
python image-example.py image.jpg \
--api-url http://localhost:5001 \
--instruction "Describe the image in detail."
The library provides custom exceptions for error handling:
try:
result = core.wrap_and_generate(instruction="Your instruction")
except KoboldAPIError as e:
print(f"API Error: {e}")
