Plenty to hate on anthropic for right now, but Ill never understand the references to output as a slot machine. It is massively a skill based tool, you CAN use it like a slot machine with "please make it work" style prompts. The

It seems like there are still healthy ways to do it, I see some products sold by third party sellers that clearly are real small businesses. I google them find their real site and sometimes they offer pricing better than what they can offer

Well, they need to ensure AI advances, and that means advancing the podcast that will pretend that popular opinion is absurd and big tech is always right.

seems about right. They came across as the yes men of podcasts for tech people that want to pretend they are doing no wrong, maybe i just chose a really rough 10 minute section of a random podcast though, but not one moment did they not com

maybe there isnt, but as understanding grows people will understand that having an orchestration agent delegate simple work to lesser agents is significant not only for cost savings, but also for preserving context window space.

Title is fantastic, had me laughing at my own ignorance to copilot's offerings before I even started the article. I do feel like if any of the major companies could do with a rebranding it would be copilot. They are tossing that name o

I don't see an issue with the comparison, I don't think it is meant to be a 1 to 1 or anything, just an illustration of how consumers are overwhelmingly lazy. I'd take issue with the statement that it is for the paranoid, but

feels like an insult to readers to try to pretend that their revenue per month is comparable to google or apples growth when the funding is absurdly different, not to mention inflation itself. I am very much onboard with AI within my workfl

honestly, the biggest reason i deep dove on proper .claude stuff, was because im a cheap ass. I saw someone mention their agents/ that delegates to cheaper models, and figure that was a way I could reign in my own overall usage, and it

there is certainly a future where this isn't the case. Learning how to use AI and use it in your workflows will likely for sure be a part of any serious dev's future, but being beholden to a data center does not seem to reflect re

subagents are huge, could execute on a massive plan that should easily fill up a 200k context window and be done atnaround 60k for the orchestration agent. as a cheapass, being able to pass off the simple work to cheaper $ per token agents

totally disagree, rag crafts the agent and delegates what sources should be scored/chunked in what manner, if its leaving itself open to some potential source gaming the system like this, it is a lack of preparation. For some use cases

by sidrag22 7mo ago
you're conflating the rag layer with the actual model, the rag metadata will exist in a properly designed system and its simply a matter of structuring the agent so that it provides references to it, or even just appending it manually
