The maccaw package provides an infrastructure to interact with various large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's GPT, Claude by Anthropic, and MistralAI. It aims to integrate these models into a unified framework for generating language model completions and handling tool-based LLM interactions. The package includes a set of base classes, utilities for tool management, and LLM-specific implementations to facilitate easy interactions and chaining of language models.
