Technically speaking,the strategy they execute is called "Loss Leader". As Loss Leader, the company offers a product at a reduced price to attract users, create stickiness, and through that aims to capture the market. https:

It's success theater. You need to show progress otherwise you might be perceived falling behind. In times where LoI's are written and partnerships are forged the promise has more value than the fact.

That's no surprise. When I was working on game theory and agent reasoning I reached the same conclusion a year ago. My conclusion was that context needs to be managed well for the LLMs to manage accuracy in replies. Also, it helps to h

I would prefer if we'd build a programmable web that provides value without relying on "scraping" websites for content. Most applications that do this are not well intended.

Accurate memory access across memory types is still not really solved. That is the issue. Most agent frameworks from the main model providers are still quite spotty. Image of a table outlining where the major frameworks are: https:/&#

Makes one wonder if the YOLO algorithm would work better with hexagons. "Hexagons were an important choice because people in a city are often in motion, and hexagons minimize the quantization error introduced when users move through a

I thought same about paying in cash vs. touchpay. It's just more human, I can take time to chat with the person. Fast forward to 2025, I prefer touch and go because its just more efficient. I think most business email conversations wi

I was contrasting FiNER, GliNER, and Smolagents in a recent blog post on my substack and while the first two are fast and provide somewhat good results, running a LLM locally is 10x better easily.

I still hold the opinion that ternary instead of binary would lead to an even higher degree of compression.

Proper research, especially the one contributed to conferences, is hard to get by and is usually managed by the conference organizers. Arxiv has some, but it's limited. It would be great if for a DeepSearch tool for ML, I could just us

My main observation here is 1. Technically it might be possible to search the Internet, but it might not surface correct and/or useful information. 2. High-value information that would make a research report valuable is rarely public n

The worst thing about LCEL is not that it's a different coding pattern. It also creates a major break withing the documentation that can't be fixed as you now have to factor into your search all documentation with and without LCE

In Smolagents you can provide which packages are permitted. Maybe that's a shortcut to enforce this? I can't imagine that in a professional development house it's truly an n x m over all possible libraries.

Thank you for your insightful reply. I am also registered as an Expert to the EC. I fully agree with you that completing all requirements in a 40-pager is hard. Which I think is exactly my point. It's competitive (that's good) and

This has spawned almost an entire industry. Have a look at Zebra Embassy in Berlin as an example. I think it would be easier to "digitally transform" the process to be more efficient.
