@waybackmachine the wayback machine page is firing thousands of requests (eventually getting 429) when I scroll the calendar into view for a URL.

Requires an extra request to resolve spelling errors, but still works. Combined with cspell and compromise nlp pre-processing, jev can decide what the user actually meant.

I provide an option to jev for home assistant "no device or room is mentioned at all" - this then asks for a follow up that extracts and matches the name to a device in the home.
We can do a similar thing for ambiguous tool calls. Provide jev an option "More than one tool call can satisfy this request" and then give a follow up prompt to choose, OR detect high match percent in multiple tools and automatically give a follow up to the user before executing.

I built a chat bot with jev, no LLM at all! Responses are instant, no hallucinations.
I hooked it up to web search, wikipedia, weather, todoist and home assistant.
Jev decides what tool to call and what args to use based on the prompt. Instant answers cite sources as well!

Jev is an extremely cheap and fast classifier that can replace long LLM prompts in your workflows with more deterministic answers and actions. I break down what that means, how it works and show several demos of Jev in action in my latest video.

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

We're at a point where coding without an isolation mechanism or sandbox is way too risky.
Use containers at a minimum, VMs if you have enough resources or a remote machine with either of these if you can.

There are a lot of questions and misconceptions about open weight models. I break it all down here so even nontechnical folks can understand.

The output of a transformer (LLM) is a score (logit) for every possible next token. We then use temperature, softmax, top-p and sampling to choose the next token, excerpt from my video "I Built an LLM From Scratch"

Some models will hallucinate an answer others have been tuned to tell you they have never heard of it or don't know. With tools, a model that was not trained on data can search the web and pull in more up to date information to answer without hallucinating piped.video/YmLp8qe87A0?t=2824

I have been using SearXNG as my daily driver search engine and it's been great!
I show what it is and how to set it up in my latest video
I also take a look at Perplexica - a self hosted AI answer engine that uses SearXNG under the hood

i created a dev container firewall feature that makes it super easy to lock down the network inside a dev container
includes tons of allow lists like Github APIs / npm registry as well as AI APIs / tools
this devcontainer.json is all you need for running sand-boxed claude code

Has anyone else been getting completely wrong and unrelated answers from @ChatGPTapp ?
Here is just one example my wife shared with me, she was asking about network security course work and got a response about Walter White AI images...
