The author is missing the bit that the LLM provides: automatically mapping input parameters to things the user wants to do, and responses to the way the UI displays them. Take out the LLM and you're not that far away from existing prot

Strangely the image change examples (edits, style transfer etc) have that slight yellow tint that GPT Image 1 (ChatGPT 4o's latest image model) has. Why is that? Flux Kontext doesn't seem to do that

Same. Agents can be very expensive. Plus I have no idea how reliable or effective this actually is in practice. Would love to try it first.

Genuine question: isn't this everyone? Don't we all find large tasks hard to start and so we procrastinate? Isn't it common general advice for all people to break things down into smaller steps so you can get going

A lot of it is due to the tokenisation system though. It just doesn't represent individual letters in words. And at the moment reasoning models aren't trained to know how to spell all words, and to know when to spell them out to u

Though I agree with the sentiment that Miyazaki must hate OpenAI commodifying his style, I find it so ironic that people misuse a quote of his from 2016 to be about AI generally. Another kick in the nuts for the poor guy. He was talking abo

Fair, there are tons of docstrings. I have had the opposite experience with LLMs explaining code, so I am biased towards assuming this works. I'm keen to try it and see.

You don't point this tool at the documentation though. You point it at a repo. Granted, this example (and others) have plenty of inline documentation. And, public documentation is likely in the training data for LLMs. But, this is more

Can a model even know that it used a hint? Or would it only say so if it was trained to say what parts of the context it used when asked? Because then it's statistically probable to say so?
