Lots of the other models are checkpoint releases, and latest is a pointer to the latest checkpoint. Something being continuously updated is quite different and worth knowing about.

Those are not custom models, image input is standard in flagship models and searching is offered by multiple providers.

You can have a larger model split things out into more manageable steps and create new tickets - marked as blocked or not on each other, then have the whole thing run.

A traditional API endpoint wrapping an agent? That's pretty much what this is but as a standard so we don't need to build thousands of them.

I think you're missing the goal of this. When you think something is very obviously a stupid way to solve a problem it's worth checking if it's solving the problem you think it is. This is not a product to find the best car b

No. You have anything else that modifies the context, tools, model, and most importantly perhaps the iteration that controls what's going on with those other values.

But so much more besides that, including the model itself, RAG, the agentic workflow control, moderation, etc. There's also a huge factor of maintenance, that's a key reason why companies have different internal and external API

Why do you assume there's a deterministic API doing the same thing?

Fundamentally I think this comes down to answering the question of "why are you creating this?". There are many valid answers. Maybe you want to create it to tell a story, and you have an overflowing list of stories you're de

Where do you draw the line? LLMs for searching, BM25 for searching, exact match only, no processes at all (forbid whatsapp search, make them scroll)?

I look forward to good standard integrations to assign a ticket to an agent and let it go through ci and up for a preview deploy & pr. I think there's lots of smaller issues that could be raised and sorted without much intervention

Yes, it's not great . Space is annoying, though compression pretty much removes that as a concern (zstd is good for this, you can even have a custom dictionary). And yes, missing keys is annoying. JSONL is handy, JSON that's in t
