Any plans to support smaller models? I have a M4 Mac Mini with 16GB unified memory and an RTX 3060 (Laptop) with 6GB VRAM. My own product experiments all revolve around small model…

I have a weird thought experiment: If you give a GPT-2/3 level LLM tools to search the internet - any document, can it build bigger, better LLMs? You may think this is not a good t…

Would it not be better to ask models to search the topic on the Internet and then answer? I do not understand why we expect small LLMs to answer from own knowledge.

I want small models to win and I am constantly experimenting with them. I have never tried fine-tuning and do not have that kind of budget. My approach is to remove some of the bur…

I do not know what/who Sybil is but yes, there is a lot of plumbing in order to make sure that host nodes are ZDR* compliant and much more. Zero visibility of source prompt. Also, …

I have been thinking of something on these lines but with much smaller models. The entire model has to fit on a single computer. Host owner would choose the model they prefer, perh…

This is good and I am saying this as someone using coding agents full on. I am a software engineer and I do use coding agents and I do believe that there can be spaces which do not…

It is all binary, all the way down. Code is text that passes the compiler's checks. Human language is text that has a really ambiguous compiler. And all text is still binary in the…

Yes, this is how I am building my agent as well. A chain of mostly deterministic steps for every incoming prompt. Run as many tools without help of LLMs, gather errors - feed to LL…

Yes, I agree with this. I am not focusing on tests as much and I think that is a big mistake. Agents need to immediately understand something is off.

Not necessarily. I have been building client projects for the last few months only using coding agents. I use way more existing tools to handle a lot more of our digital footprint …

This is an interesting share, thanks. Yes, that is my mental model. Use coding agents to generate more "programs" (scripts) to automate everything. Have edge case handlers - and th…

It is not blasphemy if langgraph is trying to do that. As I understand langgraph manages orchestration in custom built agents. I usually stay away from systems which already make i…

I kind of have a different idea of agents. I totally believe in a deterministic scaffold but I really think that an agent should be as deterministic as possible - the more code, th…

Yes, I know that is how it would seem in this ultra-capitalistic world. But no. I am a believer, follower of Sci-Fi and a dreamer. I see AI as way to tear down structures - "When e…

"company makes and distributes a specialized coding agent for CSS" - weird that you think this is a path because I think this is not as appreciated as it should be. No-code has bee…

I am not sure if you mean good, bad or ugly but yeah this username is perhaps with me since 1998. I used to hang around in MIT, Stanford and many other Uni IRC rooms. I was this od…

The key word is "already". I myself absolutely expect world changing results. But that will need time. I can only say what I know. My own experiments in building nocodo, a coding a…

A lot of those products are from big companies who seem to be struggling the most. Software does not solve bureaucracy. As an indie engineer, I have absolutely no doubt what I am d…

"Anthropic is actively campaigning to end software engineering" - good but are they the only ones? I do not like Anthropic after their recent locking mechanisms. I use opencode wit…

For those outside India and/or non-active users of UPI - it drives so many transactions that even for an engineer, I forget how often I use it: - Payments between family members - …

"i use elixir and carefully watch" - I do not watch agents, at all. Rust and Typescript. When I use Typescript only I have some guidelines so that we build the stack to be as stric…

I get the point of this demo but if instructions are clear, tech stack related resources are available, then the models do not differ as much. I use different models all the time. …

Thanks! I will join your Discord server then.

I have a project on very similar lines, https://github.com/brainless/dwata , which I have not been developing for the past few months. I have been meaning to get back to it and I r…
