I suggest you try enabling "Ignore search results" from the model dropdown for these types of questions. The web results can be distracting for the model for Leetcode-type questions.

I see you've had to suggest this a few times in this thread, and in my experience I would agree with the suggestion. I wonder if you can have a simple gpt model decide automatically when ignoring search results would improve the result and do it automatically.

Interesting idea.

I tried this question and GPT4 did way way better to getting closer to a final answer. Phind was horribly wrong. I can't help but think something seems off with your eval given just how badly Phind did on this. I want to make an interactive plot in Colab where I can show X axis is interest rate of a 15 year mortgage. Y axis is the relative advantage of buying a house vs. renting in terms of total net worth at 15 year…

Seemed to give plausible results for me: https://www.phind.com/search?cache=lswmiuewv2l33jt337dgrsho

Chat gpt actually implements it

"We do have issues with consistency sometimes" That's a strange statement. Having issues with consistency means that sometimes the output is wrong. What does it mean to have issues with consistency sometimes ? You're either consistent or you're not.

There's a difference between models that are incompetent and aren't capable of getting the right answers ever and models that are capable of getting the right answer but may not do so every time. The Phind Model is in the latter camp. Consistency issues can be caused by a wide range of factors from inference hyperparameters to prompting.

I meant that saying "something is inconsistent sometimes" is weird because inconsistency implies "sometimes"

I just spent a few minutes doing a comparison between Phind and GPT-4 for a very high-level question on a distributed job queue. I gave them both the same fairly vague sketch of a kind of system I would like to build. Here are my impressions: In the positives of Phind: * Phind was able, even eager, to recommend specific libraries relevant to the implementation. The recommendations matched my own research. GPT-4 takes…

> * Phind provides copious relevant sources including github, stackoverflow and others. This is a major advantage, especially if you use these AI assistants as a jumping off ground for further research. Did you find them to be correct?

I don't think "correct" is the right word since these were open ended systems design type questions. There are many ways to accomplish the same task.

I also spent about 20 minutes on this which is why I mentioned this is a first impression. I'll leave it to researchers to develop a "relevancy" metric and objectively apply it.

In my experience, the sources were sufficiently relevant based on its responses. They were about as relevant as equivalent Google queries. Some tiny, tiny niggles, like I was explicit I wanted it to recommend approaches in Go and for one reference I recall related to distributed locking mechanisms it provided a reference to an implementation in Java. However, that is completely fine for me since the context was more about the locking on the database side and not really the implementation in a specific language.

What's the best way to use an LLM with a large codebase that isn't RAG? Ideally we could have the full source in the context or already trained into the model... I was thinking I could set something to fine tune a model overnight and every morning I'd have a fresh one ready. Any ideas?

We support custom instructions at https://phind.com/profile .

I’m trying to get it to answer only in executable Python. I used the template with instructions I use for my system prompt on gpt4. And I tried using the additional context field for the same. It gets to writing the expected code but it still wants to include formatted headings instead of commenting those out so the entire response is executable Python. As a follow up I provided an example heading with the hash out f…

Getting it to not output additional text is not something that it can do super well at the moment, unfortunately. We'll work on that.

it would be great to have more clarity on the Plans page re why I need GPT4 in the context of Phing, Im already paying for GPT Plus, Copilot, and Kagi Search. Would be great to have a ref: Is input length of 8000 good for a web app, iOS view, unix util, go server? It seems like the value add is Phing model but you advertise GPT4

It's because we haven't updated the Phind Model to support function calling yet but we're working on it.

Can you share what your long term monetization model is? I'm noticing Phind is free to use right now.

We have a Pro plan where you can get (virtually) unlimited GPT-4 and soon, an even faster Phind model. https://phind.com/plans
