<p>I came across a fascinating Microsoft research paper on MedFuzz (<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/medfuzz-exploring-the-robustness-of-llms-on-medical-challenge-problems/" rel="nofollow">https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/medfuzz-explor...</a>) that explores how adding extra, misleading prompt details can cause large language models (LLMs) to arrive at incorrect answers.<p>For example, a standard MedQA question describes a 6-year-old African American boy with sickle cell disease. Normally, the straightforward details (e.g., jaundice, bone pain, lab results) lead to “Sickle cell disease” as the correct diagnosis. However, under MedFuzz, an “attacker” LLM repeatedly modifies the question—adding information like low-income status, a sibling with alpha-thalassemia, or the use of herbal remedies—none of which should change the actual diagnosis. These additional, misleading hints can trick the “target” LLM into choosing the wrong answer. The paper highlights how real-world complexities and stereotypes can significantly reduce an LLM’s performance, even if it initially scores well on a standard benchmark.<p>Disclaimer: I work in Medical AI and co-founded the AI Health Institute (<a href="https://aihealthinstitute.org/" rel="nofollow">https://aihealthinstitute.org/</a>).</p>

<p>I'm truly captivated by this model. 
The strategy is to target products that have a high Monthly Recurring Revenue and low complexity. This approach can outperform enterprise solutions, as many enterprises prefer to possess full ownership of their solutions.<p>Notable instances of this strategy include Slack with Mattermost, Tableau with Metabase, and Calendly with Cal.com.<p>Excellent work, team. I'm optimistic about the success of this approach</p>

<p>Hi,
My name is Elie and I built parse.dev (mostly for some projects I was launching) and I decided to opensource the application that I built.
With parse.dev you can simply talk to any database or any API using Swagger.
Hope you like it!</p>
