“ Finding effective documentation, information, and training is likely to get harder, especially in specialised topics where LLMs are even less effective than normal.”
Who needs documentation with Claude and pbcopy?

I'm excited for the Michael Lewis version of the Rust library ecosystem.

Groq will soon support function calling. At that point, you would want to describe your data specification and use function calling to do extraction. Tools such as Pydantic and Instructor are good starting points.
I am collecting these approaches and tools here: https://github.com/imaurer/awesome-llm-json

Currently, LLM models are not state of the art at Named Entity Recognition. They are slower, more expensive and less accurate than a fine tuned BERT model.
However, they are way easier to get started with using in context learning. Soon, they will be cheaper and probably faster enough too that training your own model will be a waste of time for 95% of use cases (probably higher because it will unlock use cases that wouldn’t break even with the old NLP approaches from a value perspective).
This is why I am tracking LLM structured outputs here:

And created an autocorrecting pydantic library that could be used for Named entity linking:

R2 support for egress $$ reasons?
Investors in Bending Spoons include musician The Weekend, tennis player Andre Agassi, movie star Bradley Cooper, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and director/actor Taika Waititi, among many other famous people: https://bendingspoons.com/people (scroll to the bottom to see all names).
I wonder if any of these illustrious backers are aware of the true business model of Bending Spoons, which can only be described as scammy:
1. Buy apps that have loyal users.
2. Fire all or most of the employees.
3. Update the apps with the most possibly intrusive adware, to milk user data for cash, earning a nice return.
Most users will thoughtlessly tap "OK" when asked to agree to the barrage of new permissions requested by the updated apps.
The company does other things too, but this is its main business.
How'd they get both Chainsmokers?
Kitchen sink command: pbcopy-all: git ls-files | xargs tail -n +1 | pbcopy
Works like a charm in Q2 2024.
I’m sure this will be a very solved problem by 2025.
