A simple curl+grep shell script to ask questions to Duckduckgo AIChat LLMs (Llama3, etc...).

Usage

Todo

• add a usage example if argument is not provided
• add a check_commands if 'curl grep awk sed jq tr' are not installed
• replace JQ by awk or sed equivalent
• curl does not have a simple way to output a particular header (x-vqd-4)
• remove JSON processing with stream set to false? Give an error 500 bad request?
• add an option to specify another model (llama3, gpt4o, mixtral, claude3)
• make it compatible with busybox shell
• stickiness of conversations by keeping a conversation ID somewhere like a tmpfile
• handle french (and other langs) accents
