LLMVM: A Virtual Machine with LLM as Processing Unit, Interleaving Natural Language and Code

RylanSchaeffer · x · 2026-08-07

LLMVM is a CLI productivity tool that combines LLMs with local Python tools, allowing the model to interleave natural language and code for better task decomposition and execution. Instead of traditional tool-calling APIs, it enables the LLM to interactively explore, control, and remember what it needs, and can recursively create other LLMVM instances. It supports Claude 4/3, GPT-4o/4.1/o3/o4, with Gemini, DeepSeek v3, and Amazon Nova experimental. The author argues this approach is superior to traditional tool calling, similar to Manus.
