llm9p: Access Large Language Models Through a 9P Filesystem Interface
By
mleroy
Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
llm9p is an open-source project that exposes Large Language Models (LLMs) as a 9P filesystem, allowing users to interact with AI models through standard filesystem operations. Users can write prompts to files and read responses from the same files. The project currently supports Anthropic API and Claude Code CLI backends, with plans to add local LLM support via Ollama. This approach enables scripts, AI agents, and users to access LLMs through familiar filesystem interfaces rather than specialized APIs.
