It includes PyTorch weights, configuration files, and behavioral templates tailored to 52 different LLMs. [pratical-llms](https://github.com/AntonioGr7/pratical-llms) reports 53 GitHub stars, 15 forks, and 0 open issues, last pushed Jan 13, 2025. [LLMmap](https://github.com/pasquini-dario/LLMmap) has 405 stars, 46 forks, and 6 open issues, last pushed Jul 24, 2025.
