To make the long story short, you can manipulate LLM responses (I want this for testing/cost reasons) in my chat app, so it's not safe to trust the LLM generated code. I guess I could make it possible to not execute any modified L

I think the easiest and safest is to create a docker image that can execute code and display everything in a iframe and pass data back and forth between the llm client and the execution server. I haven't looked at claude artifacts but

I agree and this thread got me thinking about how I can package WASM in my chat app to execute LLM generated code. I think a lot can be achieve today with a well constructed prompt. For example, the prompt can say, if you are asked to perf

I personally think getting LLMs to better deal with numbers will go a long way to making them more useful for different fields. I'm not an accountant, so I don't know how useful it would be. But being able to say, here are some

That is why I always go in with a mistrust mindset and why I am building my chat app this way. If accuracy is important and if I am unfamiliar with something, I mainly use LLMs as a compass and rely on them to tell me when another LLM (incl

Yeah, it is crazy how confidently LLMs can say something when it has never existed. Having said that, I'm still a HUGE fan of LLMs, as I know it is very unlikely that multiple LLMs will brain fart at the same time. If you know how to

Well given the price $15.00 / 1M input tokens and $60.00 / 1M output* tokens, I would hope so. Given the price, I think it is fair to say it is doing a lot of checks in the background.
