Show HN: Beam – Find Better Answers with Multi-Model AI Reasoning

#1
HN, first things first: one year ago you make me believe in my opensource AI project, and I'm forever grateful[1].

I am back with Beam - a technique to use diverse LLMs to generate responses, and Merge them - all within a snappy UX. I am no researcher, so you'll find a dark-mode blog, and not a light-mode PDF on arxiv :) Blog, open code, and live hosted demo, all published.

You can use Beam early on in a chat, where looking at more options is key to be more confident in the answer, but also when no answer if perfect, but fusing many together will work well. Take a look and let me know what you think!

[1]: The good reception to my first HN post and the 300 GH stars gave me the courage to follow my passion and double-down on my project, which now users love.

Awesome feature! Quick question, how do you choose which model to use when you "fuses" multiple beams back into one?

There's a combo box on the right side, and when you click on the "Add Merge" (green) button, the currently active model will be selected.

With Beam, we can easily experiment approaches such as Chain-Of-Though-with-Self-Consistency (CoT-SC) and other reasoning meta framework, but with more manual control. I always had issues using LLM's chat driven interface to figuring out/explore issues that i'm interested, since conversation/chats is always linear while reasoning/working on some ideas is structural. Beam seems to be a much better UX than the linear chat UX that saves me a lot of copy and paste and save and retry. Awesome work!
