Nextjs had remote code execution vulnerabilities because of how they implemented react server side. I am not touching an AI version without waiting for a while.

How can o4-mini be at 57, and sonnet-4 is at 39? This is way off, o4-mini is not even in the top 5 of coding agents.

Does facebook use llamas in their model? it's a name, it doesn't have to be 100% true to its meaning.

Yes, a lot MCP servers are just api wrappers. Airweave looks like it copies the data and has a RAG that is processing your queries.

1- what data is shared with hydra for this case?

2- whats the pricing for the bare metal deployment?

Hello Joe, thanks a lot for hydra and pg_duckdb. I wanted to confirm that for self hosting hydra i have to generate a token from your platform? what data is shared with hydra for this case. We need to double check as our data has restriction of sharing.

> Visit http://platform.hydra.so/token to fetch the access token and paste it into the section above.

Your issue is because:

1- the cursor agent doesn’t work with gemini. Some times the diff edit even doesn’t work.

2- Cursor does semantic search to lower the token they sent to models.

The big advantage for Gemini is the context window, use it with aider, clien or roo code.

Rough? They just closed a $600 million round with a 10 billion valuation. They should expect bigger challenges after getting in the unicorn club.

This was released on 23 May 2024, and the source code is on github[0]. It didn't pickup traction like other RAG approaches. I haven't tested it so i don't have an opinion on it.

Hello Frank, thanks a lot for the awesome work. I like continue a lot and they have an amazing team. I keep checking their repo, once in a while to see when they will release their ai agent.

The work by voyage team are admirable. If you want to test it, the only editor is continue, add it as an embeddings provider:

"embeddingsProviders": {

  "provider": "openai",

    "model": "voyage-code-3",

    "apiBase": "https://api.voyageai.com/v1/",

    "apiKey": ""
  },

Aider, clien and roo code does not use embedding. Cursor and windsurf has their own setup.
