Bash script creates minimalistic AI harness for LLM interaction

A developer has created a minimalistic AI harness using only Bash script, demonstrating how to interact with large language models (LLMs) through command-line tools. The harness allows for single LLM calls and can be extended into a chatbot by maintaining conversation history. It utilizes tools like `curl` for API requests and `jq` for parsing JSON responses, with the example model being `openai/gpt-6-luna` accessed via OpenRouter. AI

IMPACT Enables developers to integrate LLM capabilities into command-line workflows with minimal setup.

RANK_REASON The item describes a tool built using existing scripting languages and APIs, not a new frontier release or significant industry event.
