Lamia extends Python with human-readable syntax for AI commands, web automation, and file operations. Write what you want in plain English - Lamia handles the LLM calls, validates the output, and returns structured data.
How it guarantees results: every command runs through a built-in validator. If the output doesn't match the expected format or schema, Lamia retries automatically across a configurable model chain — escalating to the next model until it passes or the chain is exhausted. You define the contract once; Lamia enforces it on every run.
- Get your expected results in HTML, JSON, CSV, XML, YAML Markdown formats back
- Web automation with automatic data extraction into Pydantic models
- Multi-model support: OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama (and extensible)
- Model evaluation to find the cheapest model that still passes validation
pip install lamia-langCreate a .lm file and run it with lamia your_script.lm:
# Ask AI and create a login from using our model
page = "Create a login form" -> HTML[LoginForm]
# Read a local file as typed JSON
config = "./config.json" -> JSON[OnlyTheConfigsWeNeed]
# Scrape a website into a Pydantic model
quote = "https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL" -> HTML[StockQuote]A minimal real-world example - extract stock quotes from Yahoo Finance into a CSV:
class StockQuote(BaseModel):
ticker: str = Field(description="Stock ticker symbol, e.g. AAPL")
open: float = Field(description="Open price from the Quote Summary section")
bid: str = Field(description="Bid price from the Quote Summary section")
ask: str = Field(description="Ask price from the Quote Summary section")
bid_size: int = Field(description="Bid size (number of lots) from the Quote Summary")
ask_size: int = Field(description="Ask size (number of lots) from the Quote Summary")
for ticker in ["QQQ", "VOO", "VGT"]:
"extract the stock quote data from https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/{ticker}" -> File(CSV[StockQuote], "stocks.csv", append=True)For more real-world examples, you can check the Lamia Examples repository.
Lamia can be used as a Python library as well.
from lamia import Lamia
lamia = Lamia()
ai_response = lamia.run(
"Create a login form",
"openai:gpt4o",
"anthropic:claude",
return_type=HTML[LoginForm]
)Currently, Lamia supports only 3 LLM providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama (local models). But you can easily extend it to support other providers by creating a new adapter by extending the BaseLLMAdapter class and placing it in the extensions/adapters directory in the root of the project.
For more information see the Implementing a new Adapter section of the Lamia LLM Adapters documentation.
Here is a ready to use adapter for Claude Pro or Max subscriptions. Just place it in the extensions/adapters/llm directory in the root of your Lamia project.
IMPORTANT: Using this llm adapter might result your account being banned by Anthropic. This is just an example showing how you can have your own LLM adapter (not supported by Lamia).
and add the following to your config.yaml file:
model_chain:
- name: "claude-max:claude-sonnet-4"
max_retries: 3"""
Adapter for anthropic-max-router local proxy.
Routes requests through anthropic-max-router
(https://github.com/nsxdavid/anthropic-max-router) — an OpenAI-compatible
endpoint backed by Anthropic's Claude API via OAuth.
Works with Claude Pro ($20/mo) and Max ($100/$200/mo) subscriptions
for flat-rate billing instead of pay-per-token.
The router stores its OAuth tokens in .oauth-tokens.json relative to the
working directory, so all commands below use ~ as a stable anchor.
