LychD - The Dark Arts of LLM
Summon The Lich 💀, a Phylactery-bound, LLM-animated daemon.
⚠️ Acolyte's Warning: The summoning is in its early stages. The incantations (code, documentation) are still being inscribed. Expect instability, missing components, LLM generated texts (some not curated yet), and the occasional rogue spirit. Proceed with caution.
The knowledge you seek is inscribed in The Hexanomicon. Follow the path to bind the daemon.

"The Lich only sees far because it stands on the shoulders of Giants."
The Daemon utilizes the finest instruments of this age to fulfill its Prophecy. Eternal gratitude belongs to The Champions of Open Source:
- The Sacred Geometry: The Vessel is forged in Python. Served by Granian, its architecture descends from the Litestar Fullstack blueprint. State is mapped by SQLAlchemy, while intelligence and logic are orchestrated via Pydantic AI Models and Graphs, with background Ghouls summoned via SAQ.
- The Promethean Fire: The Animator channels the raw power of vLLM, Llama.cpp, SGLang, ExLlamaV2, and many others.
- The Forge of Discipline: The codebase is managed by uv, polished by Ruff, enforced by Pyright, verified by Pytest, and immortalized in Git.
- The Immutable Earth: The system rests on the Linux Kernel, orchestrated by Systemd, and isolated by Podman (utilizing Docker standards). Time itself is managed via Btrfs snapshots.
- The Mind's Eye: The Soul is anchored in PostgreSQL (extended by pgvector). The Mind is traced via OpenTelemetry to Arize Phoenix, the internal monologue captured by Structlog, and the Body monitored by Cockpit.
- The Visage: The Hexanomicon is inscribed via MkDocs. The Altar is bundled by Vite, rendered by Jinja2, and utilizes JavaScript frameworks: HTMX for transmutation, Tailwind CSS for glamour, and Alpine.js for animation.
- The Shield: The Free Software Foundation provides the AGPLv3, the Iron Pact that serves as a bulwark against proprietary enclosure.
