BOOM!
The cat's out of the bag 😉
We decided to pivot our RAG platform idea and use the learnings to build VetRec!

In just two months, we've onboarded dozens of clinics and 100+ veterinarians.

Check it out ! https://t.co/CIpVBOXBDe

VetRec (YC S23) helps veterinarians automate the process of note-taking in a matter of seconds by generating SOAP-style notes with AI immediately after each visit.

No need to use any awkward dictation software or manually input notes anymore: https://t.co/T9Z7QbUAFv

The New York Times wrote a hit piece about me, so I made a 45 minute video showing they're full of shit~

[Kevin Cohen @kevin_neum]

@omarmihilmy 100% agree

You don't do YC for the money

You do it because you'll speed up with peers who are builders, you'll reduce your distractions, you'll get more customers, you'll get a YC partner who is your guide for the life of the co, and you increase your chance of product market fit

Announcing our BFCL benchmark results for OpenAI's structured output, which also tests the *contents* of generated outputs.

1. @OpenAI "strict" function-calling (FC) is slightly worse on the 2024-08-06 model, but better on every prior model.

2. OpenAI handedly beats Anthropic at Function Calling (+15% improvement).

3. Prompt Engineering on Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet is just as good as OpenAI FC

4. @boundaryML 's BAML is still SOTA at FC on every model. With BAML, even GPT-3.5/Haiku perform at par with GPT4o / Sonnet (-2%)

The models are not bad. The way you prompt and JSON.parse is. Here's our breakdown, and how BAML outperforms other structured generation techniques.

@danielbelfort @tfadell Leelo!

BUILD by @tfadell is such an amazing book.
Some insights on the Sales Culture chapter:

- Establish a Relationship Sales Culture and not a Transactional one
- Sales, support, and customer success should be on the same page and go through the customer’s journey together
- Vested commissions vs transaction-based ones. If a customer churns, sales rep stops getting commissions
- You want people who care about what they are selling and deeply believe in the mission rather than those looking for a quick buck with commissions

In the end, business is defined by the relationship between the people on both sides. The relationship they create and maintain.

RT @ddematheu: Someone just tried to "hack" our prompts by having the system read them out. TLDR our guardrails worked and the prompt remai…

@ddematheu JAJAJAJ no puede ser

Have spent the last couple weeks building customization features for https://t.co/cvXfaTDPbp. Super convinced that great UX is the secret to helping every day users to harness AI and build it into their workflows.

Also fun to think about ways that we can harness AI to help drive some of that customization.

@testimonialto - Great product @damengchen.

Does anyone know how to add the Switch to annual billing toggle in stripe payment link? (is it custom code or is there a way to do it via stripe?)

[Kevin Cohen @kevin_neum]

@3blue1brown does it again
