I was chatting with Simon Willison (who's LLM library I use to power gremllm) on Discord and he suggested D&D use-cases. Kinda works!!!

    >>> from gremllm import Gremllm
    >>> player = Gremllm('dungeon_game_player')
    >>> player.go_into_cave()
    'Player has entered the cave.'
    >>> player.look_around()
    {'location': 'cave', 'entered_cave_at': '2025-07-02T21:59:02.136960'}
    >>> player.pick_up_rock()
    'You picked up a rock.'
    >>> player.inventory()
    ['rock']

(further attempts at this have ... varying results ...)

I am appalled and delighted by this.

It feels like an AI cousin to the Python error steamroller (https://github.com/ajalt/fuckitpy).

Whenever I see this sort of thing I think that there might be a non-evil application for it. But then I think ... where's the fun in that?

  from gremllm import Gremllm

  # Be sure to tell your gremllm what sort of thing it is
  counter = Gremllm('counter')
  counter.value = 5
  counter.increment()
  print(counter.value)  # 6?
  print(counter.to_roman_numerals()) # VI?

I love this!

Amazing!

Shameless plug: People who love-hate this might also love-hate vibeserver (https://github.com/lxgr/vibeserver).

I had some vague plans to make it self-hosting; this might make that even lower effort :)

I implemented something similar a couple months ago, but the principle was based on inspecting the code of the calling party.

Love it, I am here for exactly this sort of playful boundary nudging.

"Wet mode" is such a fantastically awful name. Definitely make me think twice about turning it on.

This is horrifying. Please, go on. :D

How do I give it a base URL for API calls so I can point it at my ollama server?

Thanks, I hate it! Brilliant and absolutely disgusting.
