Installation

warpllm is one Rust core published three ways. The package you install carries a precompiled native binary, so there is no Rust toolchain to set up unless you are building from source.

pip install warpllm

npm install @warpllm/warpllm

cargo add warpllm

Packages and requirements

Language	Package	Registry	Minimum runtime
Python	`warpllm`	PyPI	Python 3.10
Node	`@warpllm/warpllm`	npm	Node 20
Rust	`warpllm`	crates.io	Rust 1.85 (edition 2024)

The published version of all three is 0.6.0.

Platform support

The Node package ships prebuilt binaries for these targets; npm installs the one matching your machine.

OS	Architectures
macOS	`x86_64`, `aarch64`
Linux (glibc)	`x86_64`, `aarch64`
Linux (musl)	`x86_64`, `aarch64`
Windows (MSVC)	`x86_64`, `aarch64`

The Python wheels are built with maturin and cover CPython on the same platforms.

The Node package publishes a Node-native binary. There is no browser build in the published package — warpllm holds provider API keys, which do not belong in a browser bundle in any case.

Runtime notes

Rust: bring your own async runtime

chat_completions is async and warpllm deliberately ships no runtime, so a binary using it picks one:

cargo add tokio --features macros,rt-multi-thread

Python: sync and async clients

WarpLLM is synchronous; AsyncWarpLLM is the await-able twin. Both are exported from the top-level warpllm package and take the same constructor arguments.

Node: ESM and TypeScript types

Types ship with the package (dist/index.d.ts) — no @types install. The request and response types are generated from the same Rust definitions the core uses, so they cannot drift from what the binary accepts.

Verify the install

import warpllm

print(warpllm.__version__)

import { version } from '@warpllm/warpllm'

console.log(version())

fn main() {
    println!("{}", warpllm::version());
}

Building from source

Clone the repository and build the workspace. This is also how you run the unreleased gateway.

git clone https://github.com/warpllm/warpllm.git
cd warpllm
cargo build --release

The contribution guide covers the binding builds (maturin, napi) and the test suite.

Authentication
