AI & LLM integration patterns
Call LLM APIs, structure prompts, parse responses, and ship AI features safely.
How to Create a Mock Text Embedding with Hash in Python
Generate deterministic mock text embeddings using SHA-256 hashing and numpy, producing normalized vectors for similarity testing without an LLM.
import hashlib
import numpy as np
def mock_embed(text: str, dim: int = 10, seed: int = 42) -> np.ndarray:
"""Generate a deterministic mock embedding using a hash function.
Args:
text: Input text to embed
dim: Dimension of the output vector
seed: Seed for reproducibility
R…
How to Mock OpenAI Tool Call Messages in Python
Create an assistant message with a function tool call in OpenAI's chat format, useful for testing and mocking.
from openai import OpenAI
def mock_tool_call(tool_name: str, arguments: dict) -> dict:
"""Simulate a tool call message in OpenAI style."""
return {
"role": "assistant",
"content": None,
"tool_calls": [
{
"id": "call_" + "a1b2c3d4e5f6",
"type…
How to Mock an LLM Client in Python
Create a simple mock LLM client that returns a canned completion for testing or development without a real API.
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class MockLLMClient:
canned_response: str = "This is a canned completion."
def complete(self, prompt: str) -> str:
return f"{self.canned_response} [to: {prompt[:20]}]"
if __name__ == "__main__":
client = MockLLMClient()
result = client.complete(…
How to randomly assign a prompt variant to each key in Python
Randomly pick one variant from a list for each prompt key, useful for A/B testing message variations.
import random
def assign_prompt_variant(prompts: dict[str, list[str]]) -> dict[str, str]:
"""Assign a random prompt variant to each prompt key."""
return {key: random.choice(variants) for key, variants in prompts.items()}
if __name__ == "__main__":
prompt_bank = {
"greeting": ["Hello!", "Hi there…
