I keep accidentally clicking on the human one because my brain wants to treat it as “find the human content”.

FWIW, I found the “medium” one’s hardest. Most of the “hard” ones have dead giveaways in the form of either punctuation or common AI text rhythms.

Yeah the UX itself is clearly slop

You're certainly not alone, though it's not that much worse than usual over the last 5 years https://telliott.me/posts/is-github-getting-less-reliable/

I assume the goal isn't to generate Korean names but to learn GPTs.
sprobertson · 11 days ago
Sure, but use the tool for the job IMO. GPTs are much more complex so should demonstrate a much more complex task.

Someone has modified microgpt to build a tiny GPT that generates Korean first names, and created a web page that visualizes the entire process [1].

Users can interactively explore the microgpt pipeline end to end, from tokenization until inference.

This kind of thing is pretty easy to do with a much leaner model https://docs.pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/char_rnn_gen...

No - it costs $0 already

It seems like everyone commenting here is already part of the hivemind. So maybe someone can answer an important question that I'm not getting at all from the docs: what does this actually do?

> I wanted something small enough to fit into a pants pocket

I always wanted to know what kind of pants people wear who say that to this device size (see also Nintendo DS & co)

I printed the casing just to see - it actually does fit in my levi pockets (front and back), but looks and feels a bit ridiculous to actually walk around with

Agents use Apis that I will need to pay for and generally software dev is a job for me that needs to generate income.

If the Apis I call are not profitable for the provider then they won't be for me either.

This post is a fly.io advertisement

Who's the designer? I assume the same as agents.cloudflare.com, finally something that looks creative and not based on purple gradients

Do any LLMs support constrained generation of newline delimited json? Or have you found that they're generally reliable enough that you don't need to do constrained sampling?
sprobertson · 5 months ago
not for the standard hosted APIs using structured output or function calling, best you can get is an array
