Hey Nick and Ben, congrats to launch! I really like that you're going in the TS way by default. I personally think there will me more AI Engineers (devs building LLM apps/agents) working in TS than in Python. I wanted to ask if you accept PRs for integrations? I'm a co-founder of E2B [0]. We give private sandboxed cloud envs to any agent. We're building two things: - [1] Agent Protocol - it's an open protocol that de…

We're very open to contributions, I am interested in what the integration would look like.

Do you want to email me at nicholas@axilla.io? we can get into the details.

Same in spanish.

I think that's also the more "technical" term for armpit in english, so probably not an accident: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axilla

In Spanish too. The usual term it's "sobaco" which came from sub-brachium, under the arm.

Amazing! I am working on projexts where we use LLMs and Typescript and and besides langchain-js which can be only described as bloatware, I can never find anything and find myself reinvent the wheel most of the time.

Why do you think langchainjs is bloatware?

"Axilla" in Portuguese means "armpit" (it's spelt "axila"). I like the name more because of this. Congrats on the launch! As a developer who's been working a lot with TypeScript and LLMs, I'll definitely take a look.

Same in English. (At least, in medicine.)

We use GPT-4 pretty heavily in a Typescript project, but have noticed lag from the TS versions of popular libraries (OpenAI’s npm lib, Langchain TS, etc.).

This framework is exciting to see. Even though Python is the “language of AI” most foundational models just sit behind an HTTP endpoint, making the web (and thus JS/TS) a perfect fit, as you’ve called out.

It’d be neat to see a caching layer (maybe similar API to evals?) that can be a drop-in for production workflows where the responses are somewhat deterministic.

I've come to the conclusion that anything that "abstracts" the openai complete/chat complete API call is just bad practice and to stay away from the entire framework, with the exception of microsoft guidance. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. And if you do abstract the completion API, then it must either reduce friction or increase capabilities over just calling openai with http fetch/axios. Which microsoft guidance does this.

Didn't know that! In Portuguese, we use the word "Suvaco"
