Yes and no. I've found the order in which you give instructions matters for some models as well. With LLMs, you really need to treat them like black boxes and you cannot assume one prompt will work for all. It is honestly, in my experi

I haven't found a model at the price point of GPT-4o mini that is as capable. Based on the hype surrounding Llama 3.3 70B, it might be that one though. On Deepinfra, input tokens are more expensive, but the output token is cheaper so

For regular users I agree, for businesses, it will have to be a shotgun approach in my opinion. Edit: I should add, for businesses, it isn't about better, but more about risk as the better model can still be wrong.

For those not familiar with DuckDB, it's an amazing database, but it is not a replacement for SQLite, if you are looking for a lightweight server side DB. I'm in love with the DuckDB client and use it to query SQLite databases, bu

Yes, that is the point. The customer service person would be most able to determine if what the LLM said makes sense or not. My point is, we are sold automation instead of a power tool.

I've said before, but I'm not convinced LLM should be public facing. I know some companies have been burned by them and in my opinion, LLM should be about helping customer support people find answers faster.

I'm working on a rather naive approach that is focused on identifying errors in a LLM response by using LLMs. What I can share right now are screenshots with regards to how it works. The basic idea is you can use other high-quality mod

Yes I agree if the prompt that was used was less strict with regards to verb tense, prepositions and so forth. I wrote this prompt for use for technical writing, which may not fit the style of the author.

We are entering the nondeterministic programming era in my opinion. LLM applications will be designed with the idea that we can't be 100% sure and what ever solution can provide the most safe guards, will probably be the winner.
