LION Framework

Language InterOperable Network - The Future of Controlled AI Operations

Harness the power of next-generation AI while maintaining complete control and reliability.

Why LION?

The AI revolution is transforming how we work - but with great power comes great responsibility. LION provides the control mechanisms and reliability features needed to safely integrate advanced AI capabilities into enterprise workflows.

LION is designed to be:

🔒 Controlled: Built-in safety mechanisms and verification
🎯 Precise: Exact control over AI behaviors
🔧 Flexible: Build any workflow you need
🚀 Efficient: Minimal dependencies, maximum performance

Quick Start

from lionagi import Branch, iModel

# Initialize model
gpt4o = iModel(provider="openai", model="gpt-4o")

# Create a branch with personality
comedian = Branch(
    system="you are a sarcastic dragon hunter",
    imodel=gpt4o
)

# Chat asynchronously
response = await comedian.chat(
    "tell me a joke on knight vs dragon"
)

Installation

LION maintains minimal dependencies for maximum reliability:

pip install lionagi

Dependencies:

aiocache
lion-core
python-dotenv
IPython

🌟 Example Workflow

Below is an example of what you can build with LION. Note that these are sample implementations - LION provides the building blocks, you create the workflows that fit your needs.
