Are you familiar with this situation? You want to generate an image and they tell you to use Midjourney. You want to write a text and they recommend Claude. You have a complex logic problem and they tell you that OpenAI's o1 model is best.
The problem is obvious: we cannot afford to pay for the licences of all the Artificial Intelligences on the market. You will usually end up paying for a subscription and settle for the free (and limited) versions of the others.
But what if I told you that there was a way to ask a complex question and that it would all the Main IAs respond at the same time to give you the definitive solution?
Today I am talking about a project that changes the rules of the game: LLM Council.
The problem of “subscription fatigue”.”
Many followers write to me with the same dilemma. There are specific guides for images, for text, for code... but we can't afford everything. In the end, we miss out on the power of combining different digital “brains” because we are limited to a single platform.
This is where the magic of open source comes in.
What is LLM Council and how does it work?
LLM Council is a project available on GitHub that solves this problem at its root. It works in a way that is as cool as it is easy to understand:
- You launch your prompt: You write down your question, complex problem or issue to develop.
- Simultaneous consultation: The system sends your question to the 5 or 6 leading AIs in the market at the same time.
- The “Lead AI”: Here is the key. Once they have all responded, a Artificial Intelligence designated as “leader” collects all responses.
- The Perfect Synthesis: The leading AI analyses the best of each response, discards the irrelevant and drafts a single final response that combines the wisdom of all models.
It's like having a round table with the world's leading experts and a great secretary who gives you the executive summary with the best possible solution.
How can I use it?
It is important to be transparent: this is not a website that you just enter and that's it.
As it is a project hosted in a repository of GitHub, requires an installation on your computer. However, the process is worthwhile for those times when you need to solve a deep problem and need the maximum cognitive power available.
Although usage will not be unlimited (depending on API keys and tokens), it is an indispensable tool to have installed when response quality is critical.
Do you want the installation guide?
I have prepared a simplified technical document so that you can install LLM Council step by step without getting lost. If you are interested in trying out this AI “superpower”:
- Look for the link to the official GitHub repository.
- Follow the steps to clone the project on your computer.
- Configure your access and start enjoying the teamwork of AIs.

FAQ's
LLM Council is an open source project hosted on GitHub that works as an AI orchestrator. Its main function is to send the same prompt or question to the most powerful language models on the market simultaneously.. In contrast to using the AIs separately, this tool uses a “Leading AI” (or orchestrator model) that reads all the generated responses, selects the best information from each and writes a single, optimised final response, offering a more complete solution than any single model.
Although LLM Council is not a traditional web application (SaaS) and requires local installation from a repository of GitHub, You don't need to be an expert programmer, but you do need to have basic technical knowledge. The process involves cloning the repository on your computer and configuring the access keys (APIs) of the models you want to consult. Once installed, the tool allows you to solve problems of deep logic or complex queries by leveraging the “collective intelligence” of several models without paying multiple full monthly subscriptions.
The main advantage is the quality of synthesis and reduction of fixed costs. While paying for individual subscriptions (such as ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro) can cost upwards of 60-80$ per month if you need several, tools such as LLM Council allow you to pay only for actual usage (via cost per API token). In addition, for critical or complex tasks, By using a “Lead AI”, getting a consensus response filtered by a "Lead AI" reduces hallucinations and improves accuracy compared to relying on the bias of a single provider.
