iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Let me know how it goes. I've got a 96gb AMD desktop machine but I've always assumed that it won't really be able to run the models efficiently without a decent gpu

I didn't have the head space to keep switching models so I just keep the one I like the most.

They are very token heavy projects as they have to validate everything and keep fixing them

Well. It's a little more complex right now. I'm using sol via pi to orchestrate fable tasks (via tmux), glm tasks and k3 tasks. Pi seems a pretty good harness and I have them building out samples for every Chrome release chrome-platform-showcase.paulkinlan-ea.deno.net and other similar projects

Interesting. So it reconciles your conversations and memories etc and you don't worry about the token rate etc

This is the big thing for me. I can't really imagine using a worse model. Even if I have a powerful model supervise a lower-class one, I expect that the token usage and cost will be similar because of frequent reviews and edits etc.

Haha. Forced touch grass moments. This week I went massively over on max plan. I'm trying Kimi k3 right now and it's been pretty awesome

You are on the subscription, right?

Betting on tokens getting cheaper*

Let me know if you buy something. I'm thinking about it. But with Kimi subscription and it's quality in being on tokens getting cheaper. I want to play with local models but for quality and speed of tokens, I struggle to see how anything other than a $20k machine will be able to offer similar

I do encourage the models to validiate that it worked and there's no errors and it got an expected output etc - so it ends up running each of the model on my machine

Slow reply sorry, on my hols :) nothing really surprised me here other than the automatability of it all and it being possible. I did ask it to think of interesting use-cases but it centered around similar ideas frequently. It's not bad, but I'd like more creativity

Urgh. Copy and paste error

So I built a skill whose goal is to hill climb until it validates that each demo works correctly. It's fun to watch our new tooling (coding agents) be so incredibly thorough and just able to keep chugging away. I also tried to encode best practices too: paulkinlan.github.io/web-ai-showcase/

A lot of the reason why I wanted to do this was because I hear from many web developers that they don't really understand what's possible with the technology and LLMs are taking up all the space in the discussion.

Before I ran out of Fable usage, I was trying to create practical #webai demos for every model on @hf.co Check out paulkinlan.github.io/web-ai-showc... and some of my favourite demos: paulkinlan.github.io/web-ai-showc... paulkinlan.github.io/web-ai-showc... paulkinlan.github.io/web-ai-showc...

Exciting to be here in Bengaluru. The Livestream has started, where I will be giving a keynote with Swetha about Chrome and the Web. It will be fun. We've got a lot of great partners to talk about and some fun things to demo www.youtube.com/live/y4AHfhP...

What are people's favourite extensions in pi?

What amazes me the most is that it is rather easy now to orchestrate this and now even more value comes from the tests you can describe
