What it does

Dhenara is a powerful, flexible, and truly open-source Python framework for interacting with AI models from various providers. Similar to LangChain but with a focus on simplicity and performance, Dhenara provides a unified interface for models across providers

Typed Python interface for model providers, streaming, tools, and structured output. - dhenara/dhenara-ai

Dhenara AI is an open source Python package for calling multiple LLM providers through one typed interface.

If DAI_SECRET_CONFIG_DIR is unset, the default location is /run/secrets/dai/dai_credentials.yaml . Use the checked-in template at src/dhenara/ai/types/resource/credentials.yaml as the starting point. mkdir -p /path/to/secrets export DAI_SECRET_CONFIG_DIR=/path/to/secrets cp src/dhenara/ai/types/resource/credentials.yaml " $DAI_SECRET_CONFIG_DIR /dai_credentials.yaml " Then edit…from github.com

    Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…
