In AI Products,we are building 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗿 experiences for users. Experiences they have never seen before.Truth is that users can tell you what’s broken about the path towards a use case, they won't tell you how to fix it.Listen, observe behaviors then design what they didn’t know is possible with AI

New release of the llm-gemini plugin - a couple of new experimental models, but the really fun feature is "-o google_search 1" to enable a feature where models can run additional Google searches as part of responding to a prompt. github.com/simonw/llm-gemini/releas…
0.9

    Added support for grounding prompts against Google search using the new -o google_search 1 option. Thanks, Ricardo Mestre. #29
    Added support for text/plain and text/csv attachments. Thanks, Michele Gregori. #34
    Fixed bug handling application/ogg attachments. #35
    New model: learnlm-1.5-pro-experimental. Thanks, Leonard Tulipan. #36
    New model: gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp-01-21. #37

Playing with autogen. Curious if you could get similar results with a well crafted system prompt vs LLM with reflective agents to write a blog post

New post: I think the debate around whether LLMs can replace developers is lacking some nuance because, if we're lucky, we as developers don't work without context. I work with my Alphabet Radio on, streaming the greatest hits of the best devs I've worked with. vickiboykis.com/2024/12/16/w...

What did I do on a Saturday night you ask? I enjoyed learning about selectors in rattler-builld by @prefix.dev in rattler.build/latest/selec.... Working on adding marvin by @prefect.io on conda-forge and I have to add some additional packages to conda-forge (github.com/conda-forge/...)

Claude has the best built in OCR compared to openai and gemini for this image. Only got one character wrong 5.3 which is 5.8. Those 3's and 8's can guess mixed up so pretty impressive

Loving Python package managers like uv & pixi. I use uv for most cases but switch to pixi for larger needs. E.g., testing OCR with pytesseract required tesseract so I used pixi. alias uvv='uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate' alias pixiv='pixi init venv && cd venv'
