Phind-70B: Closing the code quality gap with GPT-4 Turbo while running 4x faster
- SethTro 3y ago> Phind-70B is significantly faster than GPT-4 Turbo ... We're able to achieve this by running NVIDIA's TensorRT-LLM library on H100 GPUs
- kkielhofner 3y agoAs someone who has utilized Nvidia Triton Inference Server for years it's really interesting to see people publicly disclosing use of TensorRT-LLM (almost certainly in conjunction with Triton). Up until TensorRT-LLM Triton had been kind of an in-group secret amongst high scale inference providers. Now you can readily find announcements, press releases, etc of Triton (TensorRT-LLM) usage from the likes of Mistral, Phind, Cloudflare, Amazon, etc.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoBeing accesible is huge. I still see post of people running ollama on H100s or whatever, and that's just because its so easy to set up.
- jxy 3y agoHow many H100 GPUs does it take to serve 1 Phind-70B model? Are they serving it with bf16, or int8, or lower quants?
- tarruda 3y agoThis video [1] shows someone running at 4-bit quant in 48gb VRAM. I suspect you need 4x that to run at full f16 precision, or approx 3 H100. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ69gY0qRbg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ69gY0qRbg
- jxy 3y agoYeah, 4bit would take 35 GB at least. 16bit would be 140 GB. I'm more interested in how Phind is serving it. But I guess that's their trade secret.
- pama 3y agoEvery day now there are new AI models especially LLMs, which might warrant some consideration from a wide part of the human population. In a couple years we will have multiple new announcements per hour and we might need some earlier models to evaluate these new developments and test them. For Phind-70B in particular, I hope that lmsys will share a version that will be part of the human evaluation leaderboard so we get a rounded evaluation. But for code assistants there should be a totally separate impartial evaluation benchmark, ideally still human judged for another year or so but eventually maybe some way of having the models fighting out competitive coding battles that they can help create.
- swatcoder 3y ago> In a couple years we will have multiple new announcements per hour Models are research output. If 10 new models are being announced every day in a couple years, it would mean that generative AI research has failed to stabilize and produce a stable, reliable component ready for product engineering. And if that's where we are in a couple years, that's almost certainly a sign that the hype was misplaced and that money is chasing after itself trying to recoup sunk costs. That's a failure scenario for this technology, not what an AI-optimist (you otherwise seem to be one) should be anticipating.
- int_19h 3y agoThat doesn't follow at all. It just means that there are still low-hanging fruits to pursue for better (smarter, faster, larger context etc) new models, but it doesn't say anything about the stability and usefulness of existing models.
- nickpsecurity 3y agoThat’s not true. Both good science and market-driven engineering favor continued iterations on existing ideas looking for improvements or alternatives. We’re often exploring a giant space of solutions. Unlike many fields, the A.I. people are publicly posting many of their steps in this journey, their iterations, for review. While it brings lots of fluff, such openness dramatically increases innovation rate compared to fields where you only see results once or twice a year. Both people using cloud API’s and FOSS developers are steadily increasing effectiveness in both experimentation and product development. So, it’s working.
- behnamoh 3y agoIn other words: "our 70B finetune is as good as a 8x200B model" Yeah, right.
- google234123 3y agoI'm not sure GPT 4 is still 8x200B
- minimaxir 3y agoThe one thing we've learnt from the past few months of LLM optimization is that model size is no longer the most important thing in determining LLM quality. A better training regimen and better architecture optimizations have allowed smaller models to push above their weight. The leaderboard has many open 7B and 13B models that are comparable with 72B models: https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderboard https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderb...
- ein0p 3y agoIt kinda is, if you want not just performance on synthetic benchmarks but a good coverage of the long tail. This is where GPT4 excels, and also why I pay for it. Transformers are basically fancy associative memories. A smaller model, much like a smaller search index, will not be able to contain as much nuanced information for some hard, immutable, information theoretic reasons.
- behnamoh 3y ago> The leaderboard has many open 7B and 13B models that are comparable with 72B models: https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderb https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderb... I follow your posts and comments here so I'm surprised you say that. The leaderboard at this point is pretty pointless. Lots of ways to "cheat" and get higher ranking there. I do agree that smaller models have made significant progress, but somethings you can't just solve without adding #parameters and FLOPs. Not to mention, ctx_window is an important factor in code quality, but most OSS models (including llama 2) have pretty limited ctx, despite methods like grp and yarn.
- renewiltord 3y agoAnyone tried Phind Pro? The benchmarks are never useful to compare things. I think they're kind of overfit now.
- rushingcreek 3y agoPhind founder here. You can try the model for free, without a login, by selecting Phind-70B from the homepage: https://phind.com https://phind.com.
- cl42 3y agoJust tried it out with a Python query. So nice and fast. Great work!
- unshavedyak 3y agointeresting, i can't try Phind-70b. It says i have 0 uses of Phind-70b left. Context: I used to be a Phind Pro subscriber, but I've not used Phind in probably two months.
- vasili111 3y agoTry in browser with Incognito mode?
- unshavedyak 3y agoYup, that works (10 uses avail). Though i wasn't too concerned with actually using it, just thought it was interesting and wanted to expose that maybe-bug.
- karmasimida 3y agoHumanEval can be skipped at this point ...
- bugglebeetle 3y agoI understand why they’re doing this from a cost and dependency perspective, but I’ve pretty much stopped using Phind since they switched over to their own models. I used to use it in the past for thing like API docs summarization, but it seems to give mostly wrong answers for that now. I think this is mostly a “RAG doesn’t work very well without a very strong general model parsing the context” problem, which their prior use of GPT-4 was eliding.
- dingnuts 3y agoI used it for awhile and it was pretty good at Bash or Emacs Lisp one-liners but it was wrong often enough that it was faster to just search on Kagi for the information that I want first, instead of performing N searches to check the answer from Phind after querying Phind.
- rushingcreek 3y agoPhind founder here. Thanks for the feedback -- I'd love to hear your thoughts on this new model. You can try it for free, without a login, by selecting it from the homepage: https://phind.com https://phind.com.
- bugglebeetle 3y agoI just tried using the 70B model and the answer was listed as being returned using the 34B model instead of the 70B model and was wrong. Is there some logic that ignores user choice, depending on what the service thinks can be answered?
- int_19h 3y agoI don't know about coding specifically, but its ability to solve logical puzzles is certainly vastly inferior to GPT-4.

- ipsum2 3y agoWhat's the story behind the melted h100? I've been having down clocking issues when using fp8 because of thermals as well.
- rushingcreek 3y agoWe noticed that the training run crashed because one of the GPUs fell off the bus. Power cycling the host server didn't help and diagnostics showed thermal damage. We were able to swap in a different node, but apparently the entire host server needed to be replaced. We've generally noticed a relatively high failure rate for H100 hardware and I'm not quite sure what is behind that.
- ipsum2 3y agoThe entire server? That's crazy. Are you doing FP8 training or did you encounter this with BF16?

- rushingcreek 3y agoPhind founder here. You can try the model for free, without a login, by selecting Phind-70B from the homepage: https://phind.com https://phind.com.
- browningstreet 3y agoHmm, when I try I see this in the dropdown: 0 Phind-70B uses left And I've never made any selection there.
- rushingcreek 3y agoI'd suggest logging in in that case -- you will still get your free uses. The Phind-70B counter for non-logged in users has carried over from when we offered GPT-4 uses without a login. If you've already consumed those uses, you'll need to log in to use Phind-70B.
- browningstreet 3y agoThanks.
- goldemerald 3y agoVery nice. I've been working with GPT4 since it released, and I tried some of my coding tasks from today with Phind-70B. The speed, conciseness, and accuracy are very impressive. Subjectively, the answers it gives just feel better than GPT4, I'm definitely gonna give pro a try this month.
- visarga 3y agoI prefer Phind's web search with LLM to both Google search and GPT-4. I have switched my default search engine, only using Google for finding sites, not for finding information anymore. GPT-4 might be a better LLM but its search capability is worse, sometimes sends really stupid search keywords that are clearly not good enough.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoI have not had luck with codellama 70B models for coding, nor have I had it with the mistral leak. If I were Phind, I'd be looking at Deepseek 33B instead. While obviously dumber for anything else, it feels much better at coding. Its just begging for a continued pretrain like that, and it will be significantly faster on 80GB cards.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoDoes this run on 4090 16gb vram? What's best that can run fast on 4090 laptop?
- brucethemoose2 3y agoYour options are: - Hybrid offloading with llama.cpp, but with slow inference. - Squeezing it in with extreme quantization (exllamav2 ~2.6bpw, or llama.cpp IQ3XS), but reduced quality and a relatively short context. 30B-34B is more of a sweetspot for 24GB of VRAM. If you do opt for the high quantization, make sure your laptop dGPU is totally empty, and that its completely filled by the weights. And I'd recommend doing your own code focused exl2/imatrix quantization, so it doesn't waste a megabyte of your vram.
- rushingcreek 3y agoWe've found that CodeLlama-70B is a much more capable base model than DeepSeek-33B. I'd love to hear your feedback on Phind-70B specifically.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoYeah I will have to test it out, though TBH I am more inclined to run models locally. As I mentioned, being such an extensive continuation train can (sometimes) totally change the capabilities of a model.
- rickette 3y agoDeepseek 33B is great. Also runs well on a modern (beefy) MBP.
- afiodorov 3y agoI don't trust the code quality evalution. The other day at work I wanted to split my string by ; but only if it's not within single quotes (think about splitting many SQL statements). I explicitly asked for stdlib python solution and preferrably avoid counting quotes since that's a bit verbose. GPT4 gave me a regex found on https://stackoverflow.com/a/2787979 https://stackoverflow.com/a/2787979 (without "), explained it to me and then it successfully added all the necessary unit tests and they passed - I commited all of that to the repo and moved on. I couldn't get 70B to answer this question even with multiple nudges. Every time I try something non GPT-4 I always go back - it's feels like a waste of time otherwise. A bit sad that LLMs follow the typical winner-takes-it-all tech curve. However if you could ask the smartest guy in the room your question every time, why wouldn't you? --- Edit: USE CODE MODE and it'll actually solve it.
- rushingcreek 3y agoThanks for the feedback, could you please post the cached Phind link so we can take a look? It might also be helpful to try Phind Chat mode in cases like this. EDIT: It seems like Phind-70B is capable of getting the right regex nearly every time when Chat mode is used or search results are disabled. It seems that the search results are polluting the answer for this example, we'll look into how to fix it.
- afiodorov 3y agohttps://www.phind.com/search?cache=r2a52gs77wtmi277o0xi4z2a https://www.phind.com/search?cache=r2a52gs77wtmi277o0xi4z2a

- tastyminerals2 3y agoI used to use Phind for couple of months. I liked the UI improvements but the slow limited free GPT4 and fast lackluster Phind model turned me off. I tried Bing and it wasn’t worse, had more free searches per day.
- fsniper 3y agoI tried the model and asked it to write a kubernetes operator with required DockerFiles, Resources, application code.. Asked it to migrate application to different languages. It looks like it's pretty capable and fast. It is impressive.
- jameswlepage 3y agoIs there any API? Would love to plug it into our pipeline and see what happens
- atemerev 3y agoImpressive on my tests, excellent work! Indeed, it is better than GPT-4 for coding-related activities. I suppose you are not releasing the weights, right? Anyway, good luck! I hope investors are already forming a nice queue before your door :)
- rushingcreek 3y agoThanks for the feedback :) We will eventually release the weights.
- sergiotapia 3y agoTerrific stuff. I always enjoy using Phind for dev related questions. Is it possible the chat history gets some product love? I would like to organize my conversations with tags, and folders. Make it easier to go back to what was said in the past instead of asking the question again. Thanks!
- devinprater 3y agoCan we get a few accessibility fixed? The expandable button after the sign in button and the button after that are unlabeled. The image on the heading at level 1 has no Alt-text. The three buttons after the "Phind-34B" button are not labeled. The ones between that and the suggestions. On search results, there's an unlabeled button after each one, followed by a button labeled something like " search cache=tbo0oyn4s955gf03o…". There's probably more, but hopefully that should get things started if you can fix these.

- mdekkers 3y agoI was considering signing up for the pro plan. Now I won’t even give them my email. I tried the model and it is genuinely nice, but this is a huge red flag.
- computerex 3y agoPhind makes impressive claims. They also claimed that their fine tune of codellama beat gpt4, but their finetune is miles behind gpt4 in open domain code generation. Not impressed. Also this is a closed walled garden model.
- lagniappe 3y agoI chose 70B and gave it a code task, and it answered as Phind-34B. This was my first query. Did I trip a limit or do something wrong?
- rushingcreek 3y agoTry logging in please if that's the case.
- lagniappe 3y agoThank you for the reply, I'd like to congratulate you on the release, first. I'm a bit of a minimalist with regard to signups, unfortunately, so unless this is a known limit then I'd likely just spectate the thread and be happy for you from a distance.
- visitor4712 3y ago"summary of plato's politeia" the answer was good. two follow up answers were also fine. just curious: what about the copyright status of the given sources? the best result I received so far was with MS Bing app (android). had reasonable results with my local llama2 13B. cheers
- littlestymaar 3y agoPlato being dead around 2300 years ago, and two millennia before copyright was invented, I think it's going to be fine ;).
- mkl 3y agoTranslations can be copyrighted.
- littlestymaar 3y agoThey can be, but like with everything copyright-related for copyright to apply there need to be “creative work” involved. Which, for something that has been translated countless times in all possible directions, is going to be much harder than for a first translation.
- imglorp 3y agoPhind is for developers. Wouldn't you rather it grok documentation than philosophy?
- nerdo 3y ago> Phind-70B is also less "lazy" than GPT-4 Turbo and doesn't hesistate to generate detailed code examples. OpenAI's leaked prompt literally encourages it to try harder[1]: > Use high effort; only tell the user that you were not able to find anything as a last resort. Keep trying instead of giving up. 1: https://pastebin.com/vnxJ7kQk https://pastebin.com/vnxJ7kQk
- rushingcreek 3y agoYep, LLMs are wacky. Telling Phind-70B to "take a deep breath" helps it answer better!
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- jamesponddotco 3y agoI'm impressed with the speed, really impressed, but not so much with the quality of the responses. This is a prompt I usually try with new LLMs: > Acting as an expert Go developer, write a RoundTripper that retries failed HTTP requests, both GET and POST ones. GPT-4 takes a few tries but usually takes the POST part into account, saving the body for new retries and whatnot. Phind in the other hand, in the two or three times I tried, ignores the POST part and focus on GET only. Maybe that problem is just too hard for LLMs? Or the prompt sucks? I'll see how it handle other things since I still have a few tries left.
- rushingcreek 3y agoThanks, can you send the cached link please? I'd also suggest trying Chat mode for questions like this, where there are unlikely to benefit from an internet search. Just tried your query now and it seemed to work well -- what are your thoughts? https://www.phind.com/search?cache=tvyrul1spovzcpwtd8phgegj https://www.phind.com/search?cache=tvyrul1spovzcpwtd8phgegj

Didn't see that it existed until now. EDIT Chat mode didn't do much better: https://www.phind.com/agent?cache=clsxpl4t80002l008v3vjqw5j https://www.phind.com/agent?cache=clsxpl4t80002l008v3vjqw5j For the record, this is the interface I asked it to implement: https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#RoundTripper https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#RoundTripper
- rushingcreek 3y agoThanks for the links. It seems like it switched to Phind-34B, which is worse. Phind-70B seems to be able to get the right interface every time. Please make sure that it says Phind-70B at the top of the page while it's generating.
- 3y ago
- zettabomb 3y agoA fun little challenge I like to give LLMs is to ask some basic logic puzzles, i.e. how can I measure 2 liters using a 3 liter and a 5 liter container? Usually if it's possible, they seem to do ok. When it's not possible, they produce a variety of wacky results. Phind-34B is rather amusing, and seems to get stuck in a loop: https://www.phind.com/agent?cache=clsxpravk0001la081cc9dl45 https://www.phind.com/agent?cache=clsxpravk0001la081cc9dl45
- thelittleone 3y agoThese are interesting tests. I wonder how far we are away from AIs solving these (the ones that have no solution) without any special programming to teach them how.
- hobabaObama 3y agoI tested this prompt in various LLMs 1. phind was by far the best - gave me solution in just 2 steps 2. Grok was second best - it did arrive at the solution but with additional non-sense step. But the solution was correct. 3. To my surprise GPT-4 could not solve the prompt and in fact gave a wrong answer in 4 steps - "Now you should have exactly 4 liters in the 5-liter container." which is not what I asked 4. As expected Gemini pro was the worst. It asks me to pour completely filled up 3L container into 5L and then you will be left with 2L in 3L container.. LOL that does not even make sense.
- satellite2 3y ago> We love the open-source community and will be releasing the weights for the latest Phind-34B model in the coming weeks. We intend to release the weights for Phind-70B in time as well. I don't understand the utility of this comment?
- EmilStenstrom 3y agoContrary to many other models I've tried, this one works really well for Swedish as well. Nice!
- clbrmbr 3y agoI’m curious how you find the Swedish from different models. GPT-4 seems to return perfectly grammatical Swedish but a Swede friend says it reads like English. Do you notice this? I’d love to have models that are better at idiomatic usage of other languages, so they can generate language learning content.
- dilo_it 3y agoWeirdly enough, when I asked "give me a formula for the fourier transform in the continuous domain" to the 70B model, it gave me a latex-like formatted string, while when asked for "give me pseudocode for the fft" I got a nice code snippet with proper formatting. The formulas though were both correct. We're not at Groq level of speed here, but I have to say, it looks pretty good to me. cache=uyem9mo96tjeibaeljm1ztts for the devs if they wanna look it up.

- mike_hearn 3y agoDo you have an API that could be plugged into https://aider.chat/ https://aider.chat/ ? It's by far the best way to use GPT4 for coding, in my experience, and more speed is exactly what it could use. But it needs an OpenAI compatible API.
- sagarpatil 3y agoI asked the founder this question previously and if I remember it correctly, they said they don't have any plans for an API.
- mrieck 3y agoThat's extremely disappointing. They have time to build a Visual Studio Extension that competes with Cursor, but don't have time to release an API that would enable hundreds of new extensions/workflows. Only reason I pay for ChatGPT Plus is because they have an API and I'm building products off of their API. I use Phind more for work, but I'm not going to pay anything unless they have an API.

- simplyinfinity 3y agoI just tried this.. It's a bit more lazy than chatgpt 3.5/4 which sometimes go ahead and translate a Go file to C# in full. Most times they omit most of the logic because "it's too complex" "it would require extensive resources". Phind is no different, but it entirely refuses to do entire code translation. https://www.phind.com/agent?cache=clsxrt4200001jp08wwi55rm1 https://www.phind.com/agent?cache=clsxrt4200001jp08wwi55rm1

- samstave 3y agoMay you please. PLEASE post as to how the chat option was polluting stuff, and the pipeline of whatever made that happen. Make this less opaque. (actually just post how pollution happens, as well as a definition to pollution as pertains to such. Diminishing trust is at stake.
- jrks11o 3y agoAwesome! I’ve been using phind a little over a year now since it was originally posted on HN. I prefer it over gpt. I’ve run into some weird issues where answers just loop or repeat after really long question threads. I can’t recall model that was being used but I’ll try and find some cached links I can share!

- shafiemukhre 3y agoAwesome update! I have been using Phind almost daily for the past 3-4 weeks and the code it produces is pretty good and it is runnable on the first try more often compared to ChatGPT. Most of the time the answer is somewhat accurate and points me in the right direction. ChatGPT (with GPT 4) has been slow af for me for the past 2+ months but I like studying a topic using ChatGPT, it is more verbose and explanatory when explaining things to you. Maybe a purpose-built dedicated AI model is the right path. A model that does well in fixing bugs, writing feature code, and producing accurate code will not be a good tool for or conversational studying. And vice versa. Also, I don't like that Phind is not handling the follow-up question that well when there are multiple kinds of questions within the same thread. ChatGPT is good at this.
- rushingcreek 3y agoThanks for the feedback! Have you tried setting a custom answer profile at https://phind.com/profile https://phind.com/profile? You can tell it to be more explanatory for certain topics.
- shafiemukhre 3y agoI haven't actually because Phind is working for me so far whenever I have code-related questions or when I need to refactor my code. TIL that I can customize the answer style preference, will give it a try!
- gtirloni 3y agoThis is from the Phind extension for VS Code: > Use the input box at the bottom to ask questions. Phind will automatically use your codebase to answer I don't know why I can't get GitHub Copilot Chat extension to do this. It always replies it can't answer questions about the codebase and that I should ask it to do something. Is that even possible? I've tried @workspace but I didn't work. I must be doing something wrong.
- thomasfromcdnjs 3y agoI'd piggyback this comment to ask if anyone could share how codebase prompts work? Given the max tokens per request, do the extensions look at your currently open file, and use some vector similarity to find other files that could be relevant (if embeddings were generated for all files in the project), and then inject relevant source. And/or is it even more complex, by using AST parsing and creating embeddings out of actual linked functions?
- sagarpatil 3y agoThere are YouTube videos that go into detail. From what I can remember, it first creates an embedding of your full code, it then refers to your open file and the files next to your current tab, it then extracts the most useful code related to your question.
- clbrmbr 3y agoCan you share a video link?
- devit 3y agoHow is this possible? GPT-4 is supposed to be 8*220B = 1.7T parameters, so it seems unexpected that a 70B model can beat or match it unless it's somehow a much better algorithm or has much better data.
- benxh 3y agoIf GPT4 is 220B/8 experts, that would be in-line with 3.5 Turbo being a 20B model, and GPT4 being a 55B activation out of a total 220B parameters. It is ultimately all speculation, until Deepseek releases their own 145B MoE model, and then we can compare the activations/results
- devit 3y agoI think the conjecture is that each expert of GPT-4 has 220B parameters, for a total of 1.76T parameters.
- dimask 3y agoPhind is great. I hope now they release their latest 34b finetune weights as they did with one of the first versions.
- habibur 3y ago> Fun fact: We melted an H100 during Phind-70B's training! Don't these cards have internal temperature control, that will shut it down before burning?
- WuxiFingerHold 3y agoNot an expert at all. But just wanted to let the creators know: I've been using Phind almost daily for some months now and it's been awesome. Whenever I accidentally do a web search I recognize what a game changer this is. (ChatGPT probably as well, but never used it.) Last week I was under pressure at work and I used it for stuff like: "How can i capture output from a command and print it line by line to the console with Rust", and must say that kind of time and energy savings are very significant.
- rushingcreek 3y agoThank you :)
- sekai 3y agoDon't even remember when I opened Stack Overflow, won't miss that condescending place.
- the_duke 3y agoJust wait for people to stop using SO, at which point the LLMs won't have a high quality training set for new questions, so you won't get good answers from the LLMs anymore...
- littlestymaar 3y agoDepends on the language, but many things happen on Discord now (which is very annoying since it's not indexable by search engine and you need to ask the question to get the answer…)
- sumitkumar 3y agoThe LLMs are generating training data at a faster rate than SO. All the prompts and the responses will eventually be 99.99% of the training data.
- vorticalbox 3y ago
- jodevelops 3y agoCame here to say this: I try to stay away from Google's products and have been using phind and perplexity for the last couple of months. I have to say I am impressed with what you guys are doing and keep up the good work
- tarruda 3y agoI don't care much for benchmarks, many models seems to be contaminated just to approach proprietary models in coding benchmarks. I had never tried Phind before, but gave Phind-70B a spin today and so far found it to be really good for coding writing and understanding, maybe even GPT-4 level. Hard to tell for sure since I only tested it on a single problem: Writing some web3 code in typescript. This is what I did: - Gave it some specifications of a react hook that subscribes to a smart contract event and fetches historical events starting from a block number. It completed successfully. - Took this code and gave it to GPT-4 to explain what it did, as well as finding potential issues. GPT gave a list of potential issues and how to address. - Then I went back to the Phind and asked it to find potential issues in the code it had just written, and it found more or less the same issues GPT-4 had found. - Went back to GPT-4 and asked to write a different version of the hook. - Took the GPT-4 written code and asked it to explain the code, which it did successfully (though I think it lacked more details than the GPT-4 explanation of the code written by Phind). I will be testing this more over the next days. If this proves to be in the GPT-4 ballpark and the 70b weights are released, I will definitely replace my ChatGPT plus subscription with Phind Pro.
- jasontlouro 3y agoAPI?
- JanSt 3y agoThis is much better than expected. Switching to chat is also making it feel better for me. I will compare it to GPT-4 in coding tasks over the next month and may switch after that.
- eurekin 3y agoI think we need a lot better benchmarks in order to capture the real complexity of typical day to day development. I gave it my typical CI bootstrapping task: > Generate gitlab ci yaml file for a hybrid front-end/backend project. Fronted is under /frontend and is a node project, packaged with yarn, built with vite to the /backend/public folder. The backend is a python flask server built with poetry. The deployable artifact should be uploaded to a private pypi registry on pypi.example.com. Use best practices recommended by tool usage. and it generated scripts with docker run commands [1]: install_dependencies: stage: install script: - docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app -w /app/frontend node:14 yarn install - docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app -w /app/backend python:3.8 poetry install build_frontend: stage: build script: - docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app -w /app/frontend node:14 yarn build build_backend: stage: build script: - docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app -w /app/backend python:3.8 poetry build deploy_artifact: stage: deploy script: - docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app -w /app/backend python:3.8 poetry publish -r $PYPI_URL --username $PYPI_USER --password $PYPI_PASSWORD only: - master Which, feels more like "connect the dots" or a very rough sketch, that might end up completely replaced. Commands in general seem ok (yarn install && yarn build, poetry build && poetry publish), but the docker run could be better expressed simply as a "image: " attribute of each job. I asked about that and I've been given general "why docker is useful" non-answer. It also introduced a parallel build stage: frontend and backend are built at the same time, but in my question, I deliberately introduced serial dependency: the frontend code goes into the backend project. The parallel approach would be of course better, if it would correctly construct the end artifact before uploading, but it doesn't do so. Also a bit surprisingly, node install and poetry install could actually run in parallel as-is, but the generated code runs serially. It uses outdated versions of tools. Python 3.8 seems still ok and used in many online examples due to some compatibility quirks with compiled libraries, but node 14 is more than 3 years old now. Current node LTS is 20. For comparison, here's the chatgpt4 version [2] : prepare: stage: prepare image: python:3.9 script: - apt-get update && apt-get install -y nodejs npm - npm install --global yarn - cd frontend && yarn install - cd ../backend && poetry config virtualenvs.create false && poetry install build-frontend: stage: build-frontend image: node:latest script: - cd frontend - yarn install - yarn build --outDir ../backend/public build-backend: stage: build-backend image: python:3.9 script: - cd backend - poetry install --no-dev package: stage: package image: python:3.9 script: - cd backend - poetry build artifacts: paths: - backend/dist/* deploy: stage: deploy image: python:3.9 script: - pip install twine - cd backend - twine upload --repository-url $PYPI_REPOSITORY_URL -u $PYPI_USERNAME -p $PYPI_PASSWORD dist/* only: - main Not perfect, but catches a lot more nuance: - Uses python as base image, but adds the node to it (not a big fan of installing tools during build, but at least took care of that set-up) - Took care of passing the artefacts built by the frontend; explicitly navigates to correct directories (cd frontend ; ... ; cd ../backend) - --no-dev flag given to `poetry install` is a great touch - Added "artifacts: " for good troubleshooting experience - Gave "only: main" qualifier for the job, so at least considered a branching strategy - Disabled virtualenv creation in poetry. I'm not a fan, but makes sense on CI I would typically also add more complexity to that file (for example using commitizen for releases) and I only feel confident that gpt4 won't fall apart completely. EDIT: Yes, gpt4 did ok-ish with releases. When I pointed out some flaws it responded with: You're correct on both counts, and I appreciate your attention to detail.

- tietjens 3y agoI have a question because I do not understand how the models work: Are they able to create code themselves, or does code ALWAYS come from a specific source? I assume that if I ask for a complex sequence in RXJS operators, that comes from the model inferring the code from lots of examples and docs. But if I ask for something really specific that might just come from a stackoverflow article or GitHub repo. The ambiguity about the sourcing is the main thing that makes me itchy about “AI”.
- brandall10 3y agoOccasionally I find GPT4 will blur a response indicating it's reproduced from a specific source and will ask me to rephrase my request/question. So at least OpenAI has some safeguard in place to not do that. Have no clue how that behavior is determined or whether or not other providers do similar.
- regularfry 3y agoWhat you'll see in tools that have any exposure to enterprise requirements is an option to say "don't regurgitate your training data". Basically if it generates something that's too similar to any of its input documents, it's thrown away before you see it. In Github Copilot the option is labeled "Suggestions matching public code". They can offer to block them because they control both the input dataset and the model at inference time. If you download an open source model I don't think you can do it out of the box, you'd need to have that input dataset to be able to do the filtering.
- Cebul1234 3y agoYou bought me :) The only missing feature is mobile app.
- kekebo 3y agoIs there any generalizable measure of how any of these models (or their client implementation) handle code(base) context that's sent along each editing request? For my use cases this seems to be as crucial a measure as the general coding responses per file / selection / request and where implementations like Cody[0], Cursor.sh[1] or aider.chat[2] stand out [0] https://sourcegraph.com/docs/cody/core-concepts/context https://sourcegraph.com/docs/cody/core-concepts/context [1] https://docs.cursor.sh/features/codebase-indexing https://docs.cursor.sh/features/codebase-indexing [2] https://aider.chat/docs/repomap.html https://aider.chat/docs/repomap.html
- mdrzn 3y agoIt seems extremely less lazy than GPT-4, it spits out code until it's done! Liking it a lot so far. Seems to be the only LLM that defaults to creating Chrome Extensions with manifest V3 while every single other LLM defaults to V2 or V1 unless explicitly told so. edit: and it's SO FAST
- pknerd 3y agoA couple of questions: - Can phind run on old Macbooks(2015+) with 8GB RAM? - Is it only for coding purpose?

- losvedir 3y agoWow, I'm impressed. I pay for GPT-4 and Gemini Ultra, just to try to keep tabs on where the latest and greatest are. I recently had a slack conversation with some friends, and someone introduced the made up acronym DILCOLTK, in the context of someone talking about being a DINK and mentioning how cheap things were where they lived. A clever human could infer it to be "Dual Income Low Cost of Living Two Kids", but out of curiosity I tried pasting a bit of the conversation into GPT-4 and Gemini Ultra and Groq, and asking what DILCOLTK referred to. I realize by the way these models tokenize the inputs, it might not be quite a fair question because they maybe can't "see" every letter. GPT-4 gave "Dual Income Low Cost of Living LTK", Gemini Ultra gave "Dual Income Low Cost of Living One Tiny Kid" (lol), and Groq suggested "Dual Income Low Cost of Living One Kid Two Kid", so all were admirably close but none quite right. But phind-70B just now got it right! Color me surprised and impressed. I also asked it a SwiftUI question I'd struggled with, and which I asked the other models about, and it did I'd say a bit better there as well. So I guess I'll have to add this to my list of models to try and keep tabs on!
- erichocean 3y agoGPT-4 Turbo sucks for coding, it's not even close to GPT-4. [0] I tried Phind yesterday and it confidently gave me patently false answers, even after prompting about the specific problems. GPT-4 got it right the first time. For my own daily use, Phind-70B isn't usable. I get massive daily value from ChatGPT/GPT-4. [0] I pay for both ChatGPT and Perplexity.
- weq 3y agoive been using this for a few weeks and im impressed at its results. no signup is key for me, i can share it around to anyone and they just get the info and then can start using it also. IMO the answers are fine for my tasks as a a substiute for a junior dev. its slightly faster then searching google cause it saves me a few clicks - handy if your already screen sharing with someone and just looking to fact check.
