- detect profanity from customers in English and Korean (Korean under-represented in training)
- use cheap Gemma4

Niche biz use case, needed to be cheap, process non-English, etc

@kmad @DSPyOSS Re no 3, I may have misheard @kshetrajna, they achieved better performance than using an aircraft carrier-sized model

@zirkelc_ @nicoalbanese10 @aisdk That’s cool (+ thorough!)

The “dream-state” could be something that lives here and throws an InvalidArgumentError: https://t.co/KkrDVeJ9IP

Perhaps opt-out rather than opt-in

[Victor Algaze @valgaze]

@nicoalbanese10 @zirkelc_ @aisdk The OpenAI Node SDK throws an error, mybe aisdk should do something similar for clearer errors?

First off, what's TAU Bench?

It's a clever benchmark for LLM agents in customer service domains, where the agent has to help a customer solve their problems (lost credit card, missed flights etc).

Solving these problems involves reading from a database, making function-calls, and generally being able to communicate coherently with the customer.

The novel part of this benchmark is that the customer is also an LLM!

A funny quirk of this setup is that since most LLMs are trained to be assistants, the customer LLM sometimes reverts to its ground state and ends up helping the service agent 😅

If you’ve been looking for DSPy but in JS/TS — and I know that describes quite a few people — I think @dosco’s Ax is doing a good job at building that with a bunch of other cool features

[Victor Algaze @valgaze]

@the_ross_man @mattpocockuk @DSPyOSS You might be thinking of @dosco

I'm here and ready to share any and all opinions or experiences I had with Microsoft, Google, and Amazon now. It's been more than long enough and they can't hurt me anymore. Curious about anything? Ask away. I'll queue up some answers for later (stepping offline here shortly).

@lihao20230505 @zswitten @AnthropicAI @lihao20230505 Is this prompt deployed as an agent anywhere?

@genmon @OpenAI There’s an aircraft carrier worth of compute power + astounding capabilities, but often the last few “feet” turn into unstructured text parsing & wrangling JSON
