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

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...
