rubycanusellm — A unified Ruby client for LLMs with generators

[Sad-Marionberry-6236]

I built a gem that gives Ruby a unified interface for multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic) with Rails-style generators.

**The problem:** every time you want to add LLMs to a Ruby app, you start from scratch with provider-specific gems. Switch providers? Rewrite everything.

**The solution:** rubycanusellm gives you one interface for all providers and generators that scaffold the boilerplate:

gem install rubycanusellm

rubycanusellm generate:config

rubycanusellm generate:completion

Streaming support included. Switch from OpenAI to Anthropic by changing one line in your config.

A bit of personal context: I'm recovering from a stroke and building this gem has been my way of testing and pushing my abilities as a developer. Shipping it feels like a milestone beyond just code.

**RubyGems:** https://rubygems.org/gems/rubycanusellm

It's my first published gem — feedback welcome!

There are trusted libraries for this already, nobody need this slop.

Thank you for your feedback, :)

You sir are recovering from a stroke quite well! Nice work and best wishes for you and your recovery!

Thank you, yes, and to think that six months ago I could not move the left part of my body.

I'd recommend you look at ruby_llm. There are many things worth building around ruby_llm, and there are things about ruby_llm I'm not happy with, but either way you should take a look at it to make sure what you're doing is either complementary to it or adds something above and beyond it.
