    Can't you replay pending requests? How can you mitigate the issue of differing side effects generated by the new / old versions?

    Cool! why is it crucial to keep old versions of code, and what are the risks of running outdated code?

    Thanks - what is your sweet spot use-case do you think? I've built a few GraphQL projects in the past, so I'm curious where you fit into the ecosystem?

    This is really cool, nice work! How does this differ from Apollo Federation? I'm a bit confused here, because you have integrations with AF too - is this competitive, or is this a …

    What is the order of the cost of the workflow function?

    Comment #38601973

    This is really cool! Am I right in thinking that the cost for running this program is equivalent to all of the dependency execution durations? i.e no busy waiting?

    Hey everyone, I'm a main contributor of Tanuki (formerly MonkeyPatch). The purpose of Tanuki is to reduce the time to ship your LLM projects, so you can focus on building what your…

    I understand the point. I would ideally like an association with monkey-patching something as that is relevant to the behaviour of the package. However, not so similar that it shad…

    Yeah this is fair. I’m not attached to a simian theme if we’re ditching specific association to monkey-patching something. Or indeed, a ‘patching’ theme for that matter. A new name…

    I do get the point and the difference from the classical monkey-patching. I like the stub ideas though!

    Good to know, we'll make it more clear in the docs! To answer regarding these 2 areas, 1) The data for finetuning currently is saved on disk for low latency reading and writing. Bo…

    Do any other names jump out at you as preferable?

    Thoughts on something like PyMonkeyPatch? GorillaPatch?

    Comment #38287077

    Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the criticism of the current naming! It does seem to create some unwanted friction of using or talking about the library, I was just trying to e…

    Great question! That is one of the ideas that we have on the roadmap and seems quite exciting to us. The general feasibility of switching the function execution over from a LLM to …

    Yeah I definitely agree on the latter point, it does look odd. PyMonkeyPatch?

    Comment #38286795

    The IDEs shouldn't complain if the function has a docstring (which all the MP functions should have as that's the instruction that is executed) and the @patch decorator, atleast th…

    PyMonkeyPatch? MonkeyPatch.py? I would quite like a short and distinctive name!

    Comment #38286624

    This is a solid point, at the end of the day creating confusion with the name wasn't the goal in any way as there already are 100s of (often overlapping) terms floating around in t…

    The big one is a Typescript implementation. Other than that, the plan is to support other models (e.g Llama) that can be fine-tuned. Finally, other persistence layers like S3 and R…

    The python package (and repo) is called ‘monkeypatch.py’ for the avoidance of confusion.

    Heya, no worries - I’m glad to share it. MonkeyPatch ensures reliability through what we call ‘test-driven alignment’, in which the tests that reference the patched functions are g…

    Check out the ‘function_modeler’. Currently it’s OpenAI only, but local models are on the immediate roadmap. https://github.com/monkeypatch/monkeypatch.py/blob/master/sr...
