About Rigging
Rigging is a lightweight Python framework for interacting with large language models. It provides a simple, chainable API for generating text, managing prompts, and handling model outputs.
Best for
Python developers who want a simple, no-frills way to call LLMs in scripts or small applications.
Use cases
- Building quick prototypes that call LLMs from Python scripts
- Chaining multiple model calls with prompt templates
- Integrating LLM responses into existing Python applications
Notes
411 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-05-13. Licensed MIT.
Pros
- Minimal dependencies and small codebase make it easy to adopt
- Clean, chainable API reduces boilerplate for common LLM tasks
- Actively maintained community project with growing adoption
Cons
- Limited to Python, not usable from other languages
- Smaller ecosystem and fewer integrations than larger frameworks
- May lack advanced features needed for production-scale orchestration
