About:
Tenere is a terminal user interface (TUI) for interacting with Large Language Models (LLMs). Written in Rust, it provides a fast and lightweight interface for chatting with AI models like ChatGPT and local LLMs directly within the terminal. It supports syntax highlighting, streaming responses, and configurable backends.
Key Features:
  • Rust-based performance and reliability
  • Support for multiple LLM backends (OpenAI, local models)
  • Syntax highlighting for code blocks
  • Streaming responses for real-time interaction
  • Configurable keyboard shortcuts
Use Cases:
  • Interacting with LLMs without leaving the terminal
  • Software development assistance and code generation
  • Quickly querying AI models on remote servers via SSH
Alternatives:
  • llm-cli – llm is a general-purpose CLI tool, while Tenere provides a richer interactive TUI experience.
  • shell-gpt – ShellGPT is Python-based; Tenere offers a native Rust binary with lower resource usage.
