ThinkGPT
ThinkGPT is a Python library that implements chain-of-thought prompting techniques to augment large language models (LLMs). It provides a set of building blocks—memory, self-refinement, knowledge compression, inference, and natural language conditions—that enable LLMs to think, reason, and act as generative agents. The library is designed to be integrated easily into existing Python applications, offering a high-level, Pythonic API. The library addresses common LLM limitations such as finite context windows by compressing knowledge and maintaining long-term memory. It enhances one-shot reasoning with higher-order reasoning primitives and allows developers to embed intelligent decision-making directly into code using natural language expressions. ThinkGPT is built on top of DocArray, which facilitates efficient document management and vector operations. ThinkGPT is an open-source project under the Jina AI organization. It can be installed via pip from its GitHub repository. The project is in an early stage, with active development and community contributions. Key features include efficient context length measurement, easy setup, and modular components that can be combined to build advanced LLM-powered applications.

Problem solved
Developers and AI engineers often struggle to make LLMs perform complex reasoning over long conversations or large documents due to limited context windows and lack of memory. ThinkGPT solves this by providing a toolkit that equips LLMs with memory, knowledge compression, self-refinement, and inference capabilities, enabling them to handle extended interactions, learn from past experiences, and make smarter decisions without manual fine-tuning.
Use cases
- Building conversational agents that remember user preferences and past interactions
- Summarizing and compressing large texts to fit within LLM token limits
- Implementing self-correcting agents that refine their outputs through iterative criticism
- Adding natural language condition checks to guide LLM behavior
- Creating generative agents that simulate human-like reasoning for problem-solving tasks
- Integrating intelligent decision-making into existing codebases without hardcoding logic
Audience
- Developers
- ML Engineers
- Data Scientists
- Researchers
