Caution
This Rust crate is potentially dangerous so there is a chance it will cause harm to you or your computer. Run at you own risk (ideally in a sandbox).
This is a procedural macro that generates Rust code at compile-time using the OpenAI (or compatible) API. Simply add the dependency to your Cargo.toml and follow the example usage.
[dependencies]
ai-bindgen = { git = "https://github.com/germangb/ai-bindgen.git" }You must have a valid API token and define the following two variables in your environment, so the macro can connect to the OpenAI API, and select a model of your choosing:
export OPENAI_API_KEY="<your-api-token>"
export OPENAI_API_MODEL="gpt-5"Note
By default the macro will send requests to https://api.openai.com/v1/ endpoint. You can override this with the OPENAI_API_URL environment variable.
The macro must be added to the top of an extern block, and the functions within, like this:
use ai_bindgen::ai;
#[ai]
extern "C" {
#[ai(prompt = "return the n-th prime number, please")]
fn prime(n: i32) -> i32;
// no prompt parameter (the signature should be self explanatory :)
#[ai]
fn max(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32;
}
fn main() {
println!("The 15th prime number is {}", prime(15)); // 47 (hopefully)
println!("max(4, 6) = {}", max(4, 6)); // 6
}(Refer to the parameters.rs example for a list of supported parameters)
Tip
You can run cargo expand to get an idea of what the compiler will generate. This is what it came up with for me when I ran it last time:
#![feature(prelude_import)]
#[prelude_import]
use std::prelude::rust_2024::*;
#[macro_use]
extern crate std;
use ai_bindgen::ai;
#[allow(warnings)]
fn prime(n: i32) -> i32 {
if n <= 0 {
return 0;
}
let target = n as usize;
let mut primes: Vec<i32> = Vec::with_capacity(target);
let mut candidate: i32 = 2;
while primes.len() < target {
let mut is_prime = true;
let cand64 = candidate as i64;
for &p in primes.iter() {
let p64 = p as i64;
if p64 * p64 > cand64 {
break;
}
if candidate % p == 0 {
is_prime = false;
break;
}
}
if is_prime {
primes.push(candidate);
}
if candidate == 2 {
candidate = 3;
} else {
if candidate >= i32::MAX - 2 {
break;
}
candidate += 2;
}
}
if primes.len() == target { primes[target - 1] } else { 0 }
}
#[allow(warnings)]
fn max(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
if a >= b { a } else { b }
}
fn main() {
{
::std::io::_print(format_args!("The 15th prime number is {0}\n", prime(15)));
};
{
::std::io::_print(format_args!("max(4, 6) = {0}\n", max(4, 6)));
};
}
