@khmarbaise @googlecloud Yeah, I didn't have the motivation to dig into that since it's really only dealing with public data.

@BlakPantherBabe Sorry about that. It's much better than it was but still gets overloaded I think. Someone gets naughty and pegs the CPUs :( Please try now.

@Budget is totally broken in Denver. What’s wrong with you guys making everybody wait in line while one person slow walks people to their car and slowly walks back. 96° out too. There’s a bunch of employees walking around and nobody is getting your customers to your cars!!

Yep, biggest hurdle for effective use of LLMs is dealing with the hideous non-determinism. Even when grounding an LLM with good examples or context, the same model with the same input and temperature 0 (assume top-k>1) can give different answers. Mixture of experts is key!

I've noticed a trend of more projects using LLM as Judge, but too many people are using just one LLM as a judge. Fortunately, LLMonPy makes is very easy to use multiple LLMs as judges. You can read more here:

Check out how much better GPT-4o appears to be at attention across input window than previous models. "Needle In A Needlestack" creates a prompt that includes thousands of limericks and the prompt asks a question about one limerick at a specific location.
