BMTools is an open-source Python library that extends large language models with external tools, letting developers build plugins by writing simple Python functions and reuse ChatGPT-Plugins. It serves as a community platform for building and sharing tool-augmented LLM solutions, inspired by LangChain.

Use cases

• build custom plugins for large language models in python
• use existing chatgpt plugins with open-source models
• let an llm call external tools like search or maps
• host local tool servers for language model agents
• reproduce chatgpt-plugins functionality open source
• train and evaluate tool learning for big models

When to choose

• you want an open-source alternative to ChatGPT-Plugins for tool-augmented LLMs
• you need to expose Python functions as tools callable by language models
• you want to experiment with tool learning research like ToolBench or Auto-GPT style agents

When to avoid

• you need actively developed features - the project directs new work to XAgent
• you want a production-grade agent framework with long-term support
• you need non-Python tool integration
