Too late to edit, but here's a great, really in-depth post about using LLMs as judges to evaluate LLM outputs (when you don't have the ground truth for everything): https://cameronrwolfe.substack.com/p/finetun

I used it (different lib, same purpose) at a previous startup, shared web whiteboard, to save the whiteboard to pdf/image. We had a rendering engine backed by canvas, so it was easy to just redirect it to this to get the file output. (

I would agree, but also LEGO of today is not like LEGO from 30 years ago. Kids today almost never get raw brick sets and let their creativity loose. Instead, the focus is on specific sets, which you complete, then play around with as ordina
