llm-keys-ui 0.1

Read on simonwillison.net

Summary

Simon Willison released llm-keys-ui 0.1, a tiny web UI that lets you store LLM API keys on a remote machine and retrieve them via the llm CLI, avoiding pasting keys into chat sessions. It runs with a single uvx command and exposes local network URLs for access.

  • Run `uvx --with llm-keys-ui llm keys-ui --all` to start a local web server exposing URLs on the network.
  • The UI lets you add named API keys without ever displaying existing values.
  • Retrieve a stored key in scripts via `llm keys get <provider>` (e.g., anthropic).
  • Supports multiple providers out of the box (anthropic, openai, openrouter, qwen-dummy).

Anyone using Codex Remote or similar agents who need to manage LLM API keys securely on remote machines should care.

    The article explains that LLMs don’t have persistent personal memory; all “memory” is supplied by the surrounding application via the context window, summaries, or external storage. It outlines the distinction between trained weights, working‑memory (token context), and persistent application memory, shows how to construct API calls to preserve conversation state, and discusses the cost and laten…

  5. How LLMs Can Find a Needle in a Haystack

    The post explains how retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) lets LLM‑based assistants answer questions from private corpora. It covers chunking documents into passages, embedding queries and chunks, similarity metrics, and the trade‑offs of different vector indexes (flat, IVF, HNSW). The focus is on practical design choices rather than new research.
