Description

Adds llmman, a local model runner that serves OpenAI-compatible (plus Ollama and Anthropic) routes on port 17434.

  • src/any_llm/providers/llmman/ subclasses BaseOpenAIProvider like llamacpp; keyless (_verify_and_set_api_key returns no-key-required), which the config-only registry cannot express.
  • Uses the /v1 routes so no extra SDK is needed (llmman = [] extra). Base URL from LLMMAN_API_BASE, following the *_API_BASE convention.
  • Capability flags: reasoning, streaming, image and embeddings on; PDF and moderation off (matching llamacpp).
  • Touchpoints: LLMProvider.LLMMAN, pyproject extra + all group, keyless skip in tests/unit/test_provider.py, LOCAL_PROVIDERS / CI_EXCLUDED_PROVIDERS so CI does not expect a server. Lands as 🤝 Community.

PR Type

  • 🆕 New Feature

Relevant issues

None.

Testing: ruff check, ruff format --check, mypy on the changed files and pytest tests/unit/providers/test_llmman.py (6 passed); chat, streaming, reasoning, image input and list_models exercised live against llmman serve.

Changes

LLMMan provider

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider registration and packaging
pyproject.toml, src/any_llm/constants.py, src/any_llm/providers/llmman/__init__.py, tests/constants.py
Registers LLMMAN, adds the optional dependency extras, exports LlmmanProvider, and classifies the provider as local and CI-excluded.
Local provider implementation
src/any_llm/providers/llmman/llmman.py
Adds LlmmanProvider with the local API base, no-key authentication, and capability flags.
Provider validation
tests/unit/providers/test_llmman.py, tests/unit/test_provider.py
Tests provider metadata, configuration, capabilities, resolution, and no-key handling.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c0396

LLMMan may be presented to callers as supporting embeddings even though that operation is excluded, potentially causing unsupported requests. Align the capability flag and test before merge; the remaining formatting concern should also be corrected.

Source: Coding guidelines

llmman (https://github.com/llmmanorg/llmman) is a local model runner that
serves OpenAI-compatible routes on port 17434, backed by llama.cpp, vllm
or mlx-lm.

The provider subclasses BaseOpenAIProvider like llamacpp: it runs locally
and needs no API key, which the config-only registry cannot express, so it
lands as a folder. Registered as a local, CI-excluded community provider.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Align the embedding capability with the provider contract.

The provider currently advertises embedding support, while the PR objective excludes embeddings.

Apologies for the slow reply, and thanks for putting this together.

Closing this one. A code folder carries the usage bar in CONTRIBUTING (substantial user base or unique capabilities), and llmman does not clear it today.

llmman's /v1 serves upstream llama.cpp, vllm or mlx-lm, which any-llm already ships entries for, so a dedicated entry mostly duplicates llamacpp and vllm with a different port. The distinctive parts of llmman (OCI model images, agent launching, aggregation) are not visible over the OpenAI routes.

A registry row is the only shape we would consider, and #1412 is the prerequisite for that, though it is not a commitment to add one.

Nothing blocks you in the meantime: AnyLLM.create_openai_compatible(name="llmman", api_base="http://127.0.0.1:17434/v1") works today and accepts a key when the daemon requires one.

If you want to pick up #1412 yourself, it is yours.

Note: this comment was drafted by Claude Opus 5 via back-and-forth with @njbrake. The reasoning and decisions are his; the prose is Claude's.
