The Amsterdam Founder's Dinner was a great experience. I am so glad I went. I made new friends, got helpful advice, and saw inspiring demos of new startups at the Amsterdam Startup Meetup. It was packed, with people even standing outside in the cold. Cool!

"@Sourcegraph's use of Gemini 1.5 long-context models drastically reduced the overall hallucination rate (the generation of factually incorrect information).

The hallucination rate decreased from 18.97% to 10.48%, a significant improvement in accuracy and reliability." 💕💻
