LLM-CL (Large Language Model Communication Language)

LLM-CL is a specialized artificial language designed for efficient and precise communication between Large Language Models. It optimizes for the unique capabilities and constraints of LLMs, emphasizing semantic clarity, unambiguity, and information density while minimizing token usage and computational overhead.

Core Features

• Token Efficiency: 50-75% reduction in token usage compared to natural language
• Semantic Precision: Near-elimination of ambiguity through explicit structure
• Computational Alignment: Designed around transformer architecture processing patterns
• Self-Description: Built-in mechanisms for version compatibility and error correction
• Universal Concept Space: Standardized mappings for consistent semantic interpretation
• Reference Resolution: Efficient pointers to previously established context

Motivation

Current LLM-to-LLM communication typically uses natural languages like English or Chinese, which were evolved for human-to-human communication and carry inherent inefficiencies when used between computational systems. LLM-CL addresses these limitations by:

1. Eliminating Redundancy: Natural languages contain significant redundancy to aid human comprehension but add unnecessary tokens for LLMs
2. Reducing Ambiguity: LLM-CL provides explicit semantic structures that eliminate interpretation challenges
3. Optimizing for Pattern Recognition: The language is designed around the way transformer models process information
4. Enabling Meta-Communication: Built-in capacity to communicate about the communication itself

Basic Syntax Example

LLM-CL uses a hybrid structure combining symbolic notation, semantic encodings, and hierarchical organization:

@v1.0{#request~information
  #topic{#c501~approaches #c142~agi #c4492~research}
  $quantity{3}
}

@v1.0{#response~information
  #list{
    #item1{#c501~symbolic #c142
      ~has{#c2231~logic #c8701~rules}
    }
    #item2{#c501~connectionist #c142
      ~has{#c4230~neural_networks #c4231~deep_learning}
    }
    #item3{#c501~hybrid
      ~combines{^.#item1 ^.#item2}
    }
  }
  ~compare{
    #dimension{#c6701~knowledge_representation}
    #dimension{#c4501~learning}
    #dimension{#c6702~explainability}
  }
}

The above example represents a question-answer pair about approaches to artificial general intelligence research. In just 35 tokens, it encodes what would require approximately 75 tokens in English, while also providing explicit semantic structure.

Implementation Approaches

LLM-CL can be implemented through several methods:

1. Prompt Engineering: Using instruction templates to encode/decode messages
2. Fine-tuning: Training specialized encoder/decoder models
3. Native Implementation: Integrating LLM-CL directly into model architecture

See the Implementation Guide for detailed technical information.

Applications

LLM-CL has wide-ranging applications in AI systems:

• Multi-agent AI Systems: Efficient communication in collaborative AI networks
• AI-to-AI APIs: More efficient than JSON/REST for semantic content
