Not just about the products imho. I do some consulting for law firms who typically use the MSFT stack, and I was excited about the private ChatGPT services in Azure, because from my (admittedly limited) sample of law firms, nobody likes using Copilot and LLMs need to be private/secure. The amount of outdated and poor quality documentation for Azure services is amazing given how nascent these services are.

It's interesting to watch this dynamic change from data set size measuring contests to quality and representativeness. In "A small number of samples can poison LLMs of any size" from Claude they hit on the same shift, but their position is more about security considerations than quality.

> how onyx is comparable
For an AI-powered research assistant, Onyx might just work out of the box. We have ~45 connectors to common apps (https://github.com/onyx-dot-app/onyx/blob/main/backend/onyx/...), integrations with the most popular web search providers (https://github.com/onyx-dot-app/onyx/blob/main/backend/onyx/...), and a built in tool calling loop w/ deep research support (https://github.com/onyx-dot-app/onyx/blob/main/backend/onyx/...). If you wanted to customize, you could pretty easily tweak this / add additional tools (or even rip this out completely and build your own agent loop).
awesome, thank you
Agree that's a lot of other projects out there, but why do you say the Vercel option is more advanced/mature?
The common trend we've seen is that most of these other projects are okay for a true "just send messages to an AI and get responses" use case, but for most things beyond that they fall short / there a lot of paper cuts.
For an individual, this might show up when they try more complex tasks that require multiple tool calls in sequence or when they have a research task to accomplish. For an org, this might show up when trying to manage access to assistants / tools / connected sources.
Our goal is to make sure Onyx is the most advanced and mature option out there. I think we've accomplished that, so if there's anything missing I'd love to hear about it.
Alright let's say im tasked with building a fancy AI-powered research assistant and I need onyx or Vercel's ai-chatbot sdk. Why would I reach for onyx?
I have used vercel for several projects and I'm not tied to it, but would like to understand how onyx is comparable.
Benefits for my use cases for using vercel have been ease of installation, streaming support, model agnosticity, chat persistence and blob support. I definitely don't like the vendor lock in, though.

Hmm. It says my city has 0% chance of visibility but I'm looking at it outside right now.
Working on adding Apple Intelligence to my macOS app built to analyze iOS app size metrics. I'm hoping to have a locally running assistant that can act like an iOS build engineer to provide optimization opportunities and more: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dotipa/id6742254881.
Right now my app allows users to export build metadata as JSON which can be interpreted by LLMs for analysis, but I'd like to have this work on-device.
