Streamline Your LLM Comparisons: Introducing Run-LLMs-in-Parallel

In the rapidly evolving landscape of Large Language Models (LLMs), new models are emerging constantly, each with its unique strengths and nuances. For developers, researchers, and AI enthusiasts, choosing the right LLM for a specific task or simply understanding their comparative performance can be a time-consuming endeavor. You often find yourself running prompts against one model, then another, manually copying responses, and trying to keep track of differences.

What if you could ask multiple LLMs the same question simultaneously and see their answers side-by-side?

Enter Run-LLMs-in-Parallel, an open-source project that simplifies this very process.

What is Run-LLMs-in-Parallel?

Run-LLMs-in-Parallel is a user-friendly web interface, built with Streamlit, designed to empower you to run and compare multiple Large Language Models (LLMs) concurrently. It seamlessly integrates with Ollama, allowing you to leverage local LLMs for efficient, parallel evaluations directly from your machine.

Key Features That Make Comparison a Breeze:

1. Parallel Query Execution: This is the core strength of the project. Instead of sequentially querying each LLM, Run-LLMs-in-Parallel sends your prompt to all selected models at once. This significantly cuts down on evaluation time, especially when working with numerous models or complex prompts.

2. Dynamic Model Selection: Not interested in comparing every single model on your system? No problem! The interface provides options to dynamically select which specific LLMs you want to include in your current comparison. This flexibility ensures you’re only comparing what’s relevant to your task.

3. Intuitive Streamlit UI: The project leverages Streamlit to create a clean, interactive, and easy-to-navigate web application. This means you don’t need deep technical expertise to get started; simply input your prompt and observe the results.

4. Ollama Integration: By hooking into Ollama, Run-LLMs-in-Parallel makes it incredibly convenient to work with a wide array of open-source LLMs that you can run locally. This enhances privacy, reduces reliance on cloud APIs, and often provides faster response times.

5. Side-by-Side Response Comparison: The outputs from each LLM are displayed in a clear, organized, side-by-side format. This visual arrangement is crucial for quickly spotting differences in reasoning, creativity, conciseness, or adherence to instructions across various models.

Why Is This Important? Use Cases:

• Rapid Model Evaluation: Quickly assess which LLM performs best for a specific type of query or task, whether it’s code generation, creative writing, summarization, or question answering.
• Prompt Engineering: Experiment with different prompts and observe how various models interpret and respond to them. Fine-tune your prompts by seeing real-time, comparative feedback.
• Benchmarking Local Models: If you’re managing a suite of local LLMs for different applications, this tool provides a practical way to conduct informal benchmarks and ensure models are performing as expected.
• Educational Exploration: For those new to LLMs, it offers a fantastic way to understand the diverse capabilities and limitations of different models without complex setups.

How Does It Work (Conceptually)?

At its heart, Run-LLMs-in-Parallel acts as an orchestrator. When you input a prompt:

1. The Streamlit front-end captures your prompt and selected models.
2. It then dispatches this prompt concurrently to each of the chosen LLMs running via your local Ollama instance.
3. As each LLM processes the prompt, its response is collected.
4. Finally, all the responses are compiled and presented simultaneously in the web interface, allowing for direct comparison.
