    We're using Maitai's structured output in prod (Benchify, YC S24) and it's awesome. OpenAI interface for all the models. Super consistent. And they've fixed bugs around escaping ch…

    I recently made a map (using Generic Mapping Tools) of one of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, for one of my dad’s grad students to use in a paper. That would constitute a good exam…
