Well this is incredible. Love the interface and the speed. My only wish is that it gave more links, right now it only seems to generate a few of them for each response.

Also it seems to be way faster than ChatGPT, yet just as intelligent, how is that possible? Can you elaborate a little bit on the architecture you're using and how it all works? What model are you using? Is it just a straight up API to ChatGPT, or are you also using additional embeddings and fine-tuning?

This is very good. I can't put my finger on it, but it seems more important than a mere "gimmick." I noticed that if you click on a topic already explored, it won't open again. That's cool, I'd make it snap back to the pane where it's open. Kudos! This is an interesting perspective on how we really need to put a little more effort into the UX of LLMs.

> I can't put my finger on it, but it seems more important than a mere "gimmick." Let me see if I can articulate it. You know how a human conversation can have multiple threads? And ten minutes in, you find the topic has totally changed and you're trying to figure out the original topic? Sometimes you can get back to it, sometimes you can't, right? Obviously it's not quite the same when you can see prompt history, bu…

So perhaps an even better interface would be a dynamically generated spider diagram?

This is great and something that I've wished existed. Thanks for making it! Right now, the tiles are linear. E.g. if tile A links to tiles B and C, clicking either B or C will open a new tile directly next to A (and only one of B or C is visible at a time). What do you think about making more of a tree layout where B and C both branch from A and can be viewed simultaneously?

Spider diagram?

Branching conversations are great for a whole bunch of reasons. I posted a demo of a prototype: https://x.com/ajdegol/status/1788689011302682657 And Jake Collins just announced he’s open sourcing an obsidian plugin which has a ton of features: https://x.com/JacobColling/status/1795462258258002255

I think this might be on the right track. Imagine using this to build programs as well, drag around generated functions and connect things visually. Each function can be its own node, and you can adjust the inputs and outputs by drag-dropping stuff and have the AI magically figure out the requirements.

It is a nice UI and invites you to investigate more... But the problem, as far as I can tell, is that it's inviting someone to explore what's bad about LLMs (or what LLMs are bad at). IE, LLMs are useful for doing things an individual could do but doesn't really want to. I have one friend who uses ChatGPT for boiler plate nondiscrimination policies and another who uses it for random villain descriptions and it's famo…

The way I think about it is LLMs are good at DOING for you, and poor at THINKING for you.

I am working on an app [1] that does very similar as far as the branching goes (minus the right hand side visual which I have plans to support something very similar but along with a git like graph).

I've been craving a gpt ui where I could fork conversations that stem from a genesis thought. Put this on a canvas too so I can zoom out and look at the footprint I left to retrace my steps

I am working on something similar [1] that you might like. It doesn't have the canvas view but that along with a git graph like UI is something that I haven't thinking of adding.

This UI wrapper looks fantastic! Great job on making the GPT API more accessible. Are there any plans to roll it out as a UI component that can integrate with existing systems, or does it require some backend work too? I see huge potential for clients like GPT4All and Prompta to use pluggable UI components like this, allowing people to keep their data locally.

I believe we might see AI clients evolving into open-source editors like Atom or VS Code, with plugins and packages that can be shared and iterated upon rapidly.

Also, I received the message 'You've gone too deep!' and I'm wondering what the context length limit is. Thanks!
