Yeah I've been using it with prompts that ask it to cite sources as well, honestly I think the best results are when I'm still interacting w/ the docs directly in addition to having the LLM look at em - still can't quite

My current hypothesis here is that the way to make coding assistants as reliable as possible is to shift the balance towards making their output rely on context provided in-prompt rather than information stored in LLM weights. As all the ma

I've been working on Lightrail for a couple months now, just added gpt-4-vision-preview support and figured it was as good a time as any to do a Show HN. It's still very rough around the edges, but I'm hoping it can provide a

Not the GP, but I've been working on an open platform [0] for integrating OpenAI APIs with other tools (VSCode, JupyterLab, bash, chrome, etc) that you might find interesting, the VSCode integration supports editing specific files &#x2

Seems similar in spirit to Nushell[0], which is a project I'm really rooting for, a super interesting update of the shell/pipes framework [0]: https://www.nushell.sh/

Lightrail: https://github.com/lightrail-ai/lightrail Basically, I think that LLMs will enable a whole new set of app UXes, and I'm trying to build a platform for those UXes. In a sense, a "shell" for LLM

Author of the piece, and I... can't really argue with any of this, tbh. I'll admit both those parts you called out were probably heavily tinged by my own desires, and your more-sober predictions are a very reasonable counterargume

OP here, as someone who does love cooking, I've gone down this route pretty heavily in the last few years - been growing my collection of physical cookbooks and definitely enjoy flipping through them in search of inspiration. So, yeah,

I'm the author, and I don't disagree with this at all - I do use LLMs pretty meaningfully in my day-to-day engineering work, and I definitely agree that they hold a ton of promise in situations like the one you mentioned. To be cl

I've wanted exactly this for quite a while, awesome project! do you plan to keep it free? Or is functionality going to paywalled soon?

Thanks! I actually initially had it doing transcription in 5- and 10-second chunks for close-to-realtime results, but the CPU usage on my laptop (which admittedly doesn't have the best specs) was a bit higher than i wanted. 30-second b

In theory, yes -- but tbh in practice, I tried using the multilingual version of whisper-tiny and saw significantly worse performance, so that's why it's english-only at the moment. Possible that there's some sort of paramete

Unfortunately not at the moment, but that feature (speaker diarization) is something I'm looking in to! AFAIK the Whisper model (which this uses currently) doesn't support that functionality, but I'm experimenting with adding
