4KB RAM, and a built-in keyboard. It supports games like 'Space Invaders'
and 'Breakout'.
"""

response = vintageconsoleinfo(user_input)
print(response)  # Structured output (e.g., specs, games, etc.)

Custom LLM (e.g., OpenAI)

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from vintageconsoleinfo import vintageconsoleinfo

llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-3.5-turbo")
response = vintageconsoleinfo(user_input, llm=llm)

Custom LLM (e.g., Anthropic)

from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
from vintageconsoleinfo import vintageconsoleinfo

llm = ChatAnthropic(model="claude-2")
response = vintageconsoleinfo(user_input, llm=llm)

Custom LLM (e.g., Google)

from langchain_google_genai import ChatGoogleGenerativeAI
from vintageconsoleinfo import vintageconsoleinfo

llm = ChatGoogleGenerativeAI(model="gemini-pro")
response = vintageconsoleinfo(user_input, llm=llm)

🔑 API Key Configuration

Default (LLM7)

• Uses LLM7_API_KEY from environment variables or falls back to a default.
• Free tier rate limits are sufficient for most use cases.
• Get a free API key: LLM7 Registration.

Override API Key

response = vintageconsoleinfo(user_input, api_key="your_llm7_api_key")
