Yep, I make this point often.
The only two that match up with the Windows piece of the puzzle are Dave Kleiman and Paul Le Roux. Of those two, Paul Le Roux had a interest in online gambling. Guess what the first Bitcoin release had references to.
There’s one more man you are missing that fits better with the Windows piece that is more likely than those two. A man that was obsessed with anonymity (with no real picture of him on the net), an active writer still today, and with the coding and cryptography chops to have actually built it.
I find this far more useful than a suite of tools or "AI agents" which always work well in a controlled development environment but not so much further than that.
Function calling is a great step towards actually production-izing LLMs and making them extremely robust - I remember when GPT-3 API first came out and I was furiously making sequential calls with complex if/else and try/catch statements and using a couple of Python libraries for the simple reason...I need the output to be a valid JSON. It was surprisingly hard until function calling solved this.
Agree. Can really build a strong chain of functionality with this function calling. I have a harder time seeing the use of something like Langchain - seems unnecessary to learn a new bloated API when I can use the powerful tools from the models themselves, and then chain things together myself.
It’s hard to communicate about this stuff. I think people hear ‘tools’ and ‘function calling’ and assume it provides an actual suite of tools or pre-made routines that it calls upon on the Anthropic backend. But nope. It’s just a way of generating a structured schema from a prompt. It’s really crucial work, but just funny how obscured the boring truth is. Also FWIW I experience a tonne more schema adherence if I use XML-like semantic tags rather than JSON. XML is so much more forgiving a format too.
Yes, the 'function calling' naming is unfortunate. It's really structured output that can be fed as input into any functionality elsewhere in your code.
The difference between the structured output of json mode is that the model can choose which set of structured output (matched to various function definitions). Subtle, but pretty cool and powerful.
I do hope we converge on a standardized API and schema for this. Testing and integrating multiple LLMs is tiresome with all the silly little variations in API and prompt formatting.
check out LiteLLM... been using in (lite) production and they make it easy to switch between models with a standardized API.

Was searching for this behavior and pleasantly surprised to find such a recent thread about it. I agree with you as well. I think they don’t do it because of what the other viewer mentioned where there is unexpected complexity in the state.

Super interesting article and implications

One of the biggest users of Tornado Cash was Vitalik. He was not using it as a criminal, so there are some valid use cases outside of criminal behavior.

just wanted to say - this is well designed, clean interface, and fast (on my desktop). Well done, especially if you solo developed this.
