No product I’ve ever worked on has been successful enough to require the optimizations that microservices can provide. Part of the reason they weren’t successful was because my man…

Any tips for Mixtral? That’s what we tried

Congratulations on the launch! I was unable to use this library: I was trying to evaluate different non-OpenAI models and it consistently failed due to malformed JSONs coming from …

Those are some great quotes!

I’m working with a Derek right now. Highly motivated and highly incompetent. Usually it’s one or the other. How do you deal with people like this?

This happened to me too. After I got an offer letter from Google, I was ghosted and notified that the position was deprioritized a week after I was supposed to have started. I sign…

It might make sense to get a handle on Python first

Congrats to Harrison and the team. The pace of Langchain development is pretty stunning and they deserve the shot to make this happen.

I made an interface for this along with a quest log and game visualizations. Check it out in a few days at dndinfinity.com It’s currently down because it hit the maximum usage limi…
