An agent is just an LLM calling tools in a loop. If you're a "show me the code" type person like me, here's a worked example: https://samdobson.uk/posts/how-to-build-an-agent/

Great call, thankyou - I switched to log scale for those metrics - agree that it is much clearer.

This is a much easier way to run the model. I'm going to update the huggingface README to point to this. The one thing that could be improved is the turn-taking between user and as…

I've uploaded the model here: https://huggingface.co/sdobson/nanochat I didn't get as good results as Karpathy (unlucky seed?) It's fun to play with though... User: How many legs d…

There's not much to it... it took longer to spin up the cloud machine than it did to kick off the training run. I'll be writing up a blog post with a step-by-step guide when I get …

A stark reminder to end users of any service that if you are not paying, you are the product. There is good reason that the sale of financial services through intermediaries is a h…

Very interesting concept. A couple of initial observations: * Creating models from a file borks on anything non-UTF8 (i.e. most legacy system outputs) * `synth model inspect` outpu…

This looks really cool and haven't seen this before - thanks for sharing. I've updated the description on Kaggle.

Hi HN. Over the last 4 months I have collected 380,000 attempts to guess a number on my Amazon Alexa Skill, and wanted to share with the community. Would love to see what you can d…

Thanks for the tip :) Not sure about the licence - think it was the default option. I'll take a look. edit: Updated licence to CC-BY-SA (i.e. do what you want as long as you credit…
