LLM ProviderPython integration

LLMSlim + Google Gemini

Compress retrieved Python context before a Gemini SDK request.

Use compress_documents() for retrieved text and preserve accurate provenance.

1. Package Installation

Install LLMSlim and the official Google Gemini SDK using your package manager:

terminal
pip install llmslim

2. Architecture & Execution Flow

STEP 01

1. Retrieve or construct application context.

STEP 02

2. Label provenance accurately and compress with LLMSlim.

STEP 03

3. Send the resulting text to the provider SDK.

STEP 04

4. Apply application-level policy and output validation.

3. Production Code Pattern

Complete, runnable implementation wrapper for Google Gemini:

gemini_app.py
from llmslim import compress_documents

compressed = compress_documents(documents, query=query, target_ratio=0.4)

4. Production Deployment Best Practices

Use LLMSlim in your Python application before constructing the provider request. Measure target workloads before choosing a compression ratio.

5. Key Optimization Tips

  • 01.Use compress_documents() for retrieved documents; it defaults to RAG provenance.
  • 02.Leave system messages unchanged by default in compress_chat_messages().
  • 03.Do not treat compression as a complete prompt-injection defense.

7. Frequently Asked Questions

Does LLMSlim process multimodal inputs?

No. The released engine processes text.

8. Troubleshooting & Diagnostics

Issue: Unexpected compression result
Solution: Check target_ratio, role labels, and whether the input is long enough to benefit from compression.
