Once the bench is public it’s out and probably in the training data. Better to have your own and test it on a new model.

Why not just use Sonnet?

It’s funny how corporations get a bar wrap. Have you ever worked with private equity? Bad to worse.

That’s kind of funny since a Chinese model started the thinking chains being visible in Claude and OA in the first place.

Post should be hire. People are missing the point they traded out data center cost for human cost.

“ That is what drew Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman for one of the Civil War’s seminal campaigns that helped defeat the Confederacy.”

To be clear Sherman burned it to the ground which is why it got renamed Atlanta.

Isn’t that the soul cooking lady from the Podesta files?

Edit: yup looks like it

ZDR in place at API level but need enterprise contract if on a plan. Vendor lock-in and IP drivers.

Yeah, saw Mericari and had some flashing lights go off.

Most Japanese tech is in - well Japanese - companies like Mericari, Woven and Rakuten are exceptions, hence you get a blog post on how to speak English properly.

Have 2.5 in prod. Hope they release 3 lite soon so it will be easier to swap them. Holding my breath as pro pricing is a non starter.

Based on what Amazon team you are in more than half are born in India. Makes sense they’d be moving operations there.

Ohh. Reply from Shawn. I love your work. As far as I recall, we were not looking for a net of features but specifically a git like API that could manage and version the prompts. Meta data tagging, Jinja2, release labels and easy rollback. Add that up with Rest, Typescripts and Python support and it worked pretty well. Langfuse seemed way better at tracing though.

I haven’t used their product so you’re probably right. I’m biased as an AI engineer because I get contacted to help implement AI in existing platforms. While I admire the pivot the reality is what they have is already quite behind. Anything I make these days is old in about three months… You’d ideally want to start fresh and not have to worry about codebase that is years old.

I don’t know about that. I looked at them a couple of months back for prompt management and they were pretty behind in terms of features. Went with PromptLayer

SaaS company pivots to AI. Gets funding rebranded as AI company. Buys a company that actually knows it.

It’s still early but I question how much of these SaaS companies will continue. I’d rather connect Claude or whatever to do my task than have to learn a new platform let alone login to it.

This great. I want to switch to android but the only thing stopping me is eight years of photos. No more.
