Hey everyone!
I recently spent a couple of weekends improving Karpathy's excellent LLM Council Open Source Project.
The [original project](https://github.com/karpathy/llm-council) was brilliant but lacked usability and flexibility imho.
**What I added:**
* Web search integration (DuckDuckGo, Tavily, Brave, Jina AI)
* Clean Modern UI with a settings page to support:
* Support for multiple API providers (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.)
* Customizable system prompts and temperature controls (the custom prompts open up tons of use cases beyond a "council")
* Export & Import of councils, prompts, and settings (for backup and even sharing)
* Control the council size (from 1 to 8 - original only supported 3)
* Full Ollama support for local models
* "I'm Feeling Lucky" random model selector
* Filter only Free models on OpenRouter (although Rate Limits can be an issue)
* Control the Process, from a simple asking multiple models a question in parallel (Chat Only), Chat & peer rating where models rate the responses of other models, and Full end-to-end deliberation where the Chairman model makes the final decision on the best answer
You can compare up to 8 models simul
Trying to be fair, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s the key detail here.
the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage which makes the reaction pretty predictable We’ll see how people react over time.
I get the idea, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Hard to say where this lands long term.
At this point, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s where it gets complicated That’s what makes this interesting. Let’s see what happens next.
the timing matters more than people admit That’s just my read on it.
At first glance, this solves one problem while creating another Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Trying to be fair, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome That’s the impression it gives me.
the follow-through is what will decide this Curious how this plays out.
If we’re being honest, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which turns this into more of a debate That’s the impression it gives me.
the follow-through is what will decide this This could age very differently in a week.
this solves one problem while creating another and that tension shows up immediately Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
At first glance, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s where people will push back That’s the impression it gives me.
From the outside, the main issue seems to be how this is handled
