Fair enough. We're releasing our first bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) offering in April. We're working with a big e-commerce platform in Germany that has data sovereignty requirements…

Makes sense. Implementation simplicity was part of the reason we didn't go for this. Currently the language is a transpiler, which maps SELECT and FROM into the retrieval stages, W…

I've been loving all these projects that are integrating LLMs/encoding directly into the language. There's so much power there. Someone shared with me these the other day and we're…

This line comes from a specific customer we migrated from Elastic Search, they had 3k lines of query logic, and it was completely unmaintainable. When they moved to Shaped we were …

You can think of Shaped more like a vector store + feature store + ML inference combined into one service. This bundling is what makes it so easy to get state-of-the art real-time …

Subprocessors are here: https://docs.shaped.ai/docs/v2/support/security Thanks for the feedback on the privacy policy, let me see if we can get that changed. For what it's worth we…

Makes sense! Agreed on the diversity for agents being a bit contrived here. All of the retrievers do support pre-filtering, you just add the where clause within the retriever funct…

Would love to chat about it, and talk about dbt integration. There's a few use cases that have come up where this would be really helpful. I'll PM you. 1) So we do actually have a …

Hi HN, I’m Tullie, founder of Shaped. Previously, I was a researcher at Meta AI, worked on ranking for Instagram Reels, and was a contributor to PyTorch Lightning. We built ShapedQ…

Hey everyone, I’m one of the founders of Shaped. We’ve spent the last few years building relevance infrastructure. Over the time we've noticed a convergence happening: The stack fo…

Yeah exactly. I was really worried about reducing the serendipity that HN provides (as it's arguably why I've used it for so long as well) but the configurability allows it so that…

Yeah I definitely agree. I think the nuance is that personalization doesn't have to completely overrun the current ranking algorithm, it more just slightly boosts known similar con…

Hi HN, I've been a daily user here for almost 15 years. Over that time, my interests have shifted. I find I'm now more interested in deep-dive technical posts and personal blogs th…

The other direction that isn’t explicitly mentioned in this post is the variants of SASRec and Bert4Rec that are still trained on ID-Tokens but showing scaling laws much like LLMs.…
