For those who aren't aware: you write an OpenAPI manifest for your API, use human language descriptions for everything, and that's it. You let the model figure out how to auth, chain calls, process data in between, format it for viewing, etc. There's absolutely zero glue code.

I've developed a lot of plugin systems, and the OpenAI ChatGPT plugin interface might be the damn craziest and most impressive approach I've ever seen in computing in my entire life.

People are too focused on code generation and completely ignoring that LLMs are useful for code analysis. I've been personally surprised how useful they were in identifying missing test cases, unreleased leaking resources, or even telling me what's wrong with my IAM policy.

GPT-4 is waaay better at programming than given credit for.
HumanEval is a benchmark of python programming problems.
With some prompt engineering, GPT-4 scores ~85%, destroying Codex's 29% from just 2 years ago
And performing much better than OpenAI's publicized accuracy

Yep! Platform teams are absolutely starting to trend. I see this in my work, though my view is limited compared to yours! Stream-aligned teams were arranged to facilitate fast production. But now there’s inefficiency in duplication. How do we resolve this? Platform teams! – at Scotts Valley, CA

Looking at our inquiry trends on platform engineering. Holy moly. What a rocket ship of a topic. – at Massachusetts, USA

How much would it cost to train GPT2-1.5B from scratch today? Original was estimated at $43K but we have four years of hardware and algorithmic advances since then, right?

Excited to see everyone at The Commons in SF tonight starting at 6 🤗
Based on the austin/seattle meetups we expected ~20, and rented a space to support 80 people. We currently have 450 people who have RSVPd 🤯
I’ll be at door to personally apologize to people we can’t let in 🙏🏻
👋🤖 AI Tinkerers SF meetup happening 2/22 - see you there! partiful.com/e/BXmno76enwLLc…
Cool example of its limits
