Show HN: I wrote a program that hashes files into poems
A new program called rhymesum hashes files into poems using LLM technology. It generates a five-line poem as a unique fingerprint for each file, offering a creative alternative to traditional checksums. The project is intended for fun and is not suitable for production use due to its lack of cryptographic safety.
- ▪Rhymesum uses LLM-generated poems to fingerprint files instead of traditional checksums.
- ▪The program computes a BLAKE3 hash and injects entropy into the LLM sampler.
- ▪It is a toy project and not recommended for production use.

rhymesum -- Hash files into LLM-generated poems locally Note: This is a toy project and far from cryptographically safe, better don't use it in production. What is this? This project lets you fingerprint your files using LLM-generated poems instead of hard-to-remember checksums. It computes a BLAKE3 hash of the passed file, and based on that injects entropy in both the LLM sampler as well as the prompt itself. The output is a five-line poem representing a fingerprint of your file.
