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

Honestly, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which turns this into more of a debate That’s what changes the context. Interested to see the follow-up.
the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s why opinions are all over the place Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here which is why this is getting picked apart That’s what changes the context. That’s just how it reads to me.
the wording alone shifts how people read this and that’s where it gets complicated Others will probably see it differently.
I get the idea, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage which is why this is getting picked apart
Just reading this, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s where it gets complicated This probably isn’t the last word on it. At least from my perspective.
