    We can iterate fast with understanding useful paradigms of vector manipulation. Yesterday I added `debias_vector(axis, topic)` and l2_normalization guidance.

    Thank you! I got the idea December 3, and initially released it December 19.

    ~300 token chunks right now. Have other exciting embedding strategies in the works.

    The scale is there. I'm scraping, cleaning, token efficientizing dozens of sources every single hour. The lack of monies for embedding everything was a temporary problem.

    Thank you! I'll be getting millions more quality, embedded documents, it'll be here just getting more useful.

    You submit a SQL query to periodically run, we run it and store the results. As we ingest more documents (dozens of sources are being ingested every day), we run it again. If there…

    Maybe more actually, server costs and API credits for my agent-coordination research are expensive.

    Exactly, people want precision and control sometimes. Also it's very hard to beat SQL query planners when you have lots of material views and indexes. Like this is a lot more power…

    I've since improved it, and also discovered a new method of vector composition I have added as a first-class primitive: debias_vector(axis, topic) removes the projection of axis on…

    I'm giving you, the user, the easiest ability you've most likely ever had to explore embedding space yourself. Embeddings are tricky and can mislead, but they do often compose surp…

    I could make it open-source as soon as I have $5k to my name. I've been in survival mode frankly for a long time.
