This can happen because of training data. Imagine you have thousands of legal documents rejecting things to Iran. eventually, model generalizes it and rejects other topics

It can happen because training data contains lots of rejections to groups (Iran sanctioned, don't do business with Iran and so on). Then model might be generalizing 'rejection' to other types of responses

It could have been, but you still need to compress and transform OpenAPI, here are some examples: * Stripe OpenAPI has ~300 endpoints, imagine adding it to 128k context window, you will run out of context * Most APIs return unix timestamp,

I wish we get better alternatives to Anthropic sooner. Fortunately, OSS models like GLM, Qwen are catching up Obviously, it's good for them if things are regulated, but bad for all of us.

I have built bunch of MCP servers so far, and here is my take (and why I love it) There are 2 types of actions, (1) read-only and (2) MCP servers/tools with side effects 1. Read-only types. As you know, LLMs are static models, they don
