Over the weekend I created an AI webapp that let's AI guess where any pictures were taken using only visual cues (no GPS data were given to the LLM). It's eerily accurate (down to street level accuracy). 🤯Try it out at #GeoGuessr

Very cool stats from @raydistributed about GPT. ⭐️Key Takeaways:. 💸 GPT-4 is ~50x more expensive than GPT 3.5 Turbo.🤑OpenAI embedding is 10x more expensive than self-hosted solution.💡fine-tuning LLM is >1000 times cheaper than training from scratch.

At Openmart, our AI agents primarily deal with these 3 tasks:.1. Data extraction - parsing HTMLs.2. Content generation - writing emails.3. Logical reasoning - making calculated decisions. The first 2 we find the most success in, still struggling with 3 even with RAG, tool calling.

Problems I face daily when productionizing LLM agents:. - Reproducibility: How to make the agent respond consistently with similar inputs. - Context: How to provide the most relevant information to LLM within the limited context window for an informed decision. - Comparison: How.

Startup founders inherently bet long-term than short-term—that's the very reason they choose to launch startups instead of opting for potentially more immediately lucrative roles at companies like FAANG. This makes the focus on short-term revenue goals often seem counterintuitive.

I wonder why restaurant robots are not a thing in the US. They are in literally every restaurant in China and are getting adopted at Chinese restaurants in US. Human labor is much more expensive in the US; think each waiter or busboy can save 25% of their time by using this…

🧠Lazy interviewers use #Leetcode, turning it into a memory game. At @openmartai, we ditch the memory test for: .1. System design qs reflecting real tech stacks.2. Real mini-projects mirroring daily task. Design questions that mirror future work. Hire builders 😎, not parrots🦜

Distribution is key.
People who say this never built businesses themselves. They're right that the technical part might not be the hardest in AI because models are trained already for you to use. But the difficulty lies in distribution (getting users), user experience/interface (do ppl like to use.

AI agents are designed to use tools so you don’t need to build the tool. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Use existing technologies to your advantage.

I think an area worth exploring is deliberate flaky tests. Current unit tests either pass or fail. What if we have a "threshold" for tests that are designed to be flaky (e.g. #LLM evaluations). As long as the pass rate is within an acceptable range, the test passes.

Vertical applications of AI agents are so powerful. Think low logical reasoning jobs that primarily interacts with computers are the prime candidate to be replaced in this AI revolution. Services industry will soon be as scalable as software.

UX: A very important aspect of building an AI agent is being able to iterate with the user. The way human thinks and talks is fundamentally different from traditional software interfaces, that's why #ChatGPT simple but intuitive chat interface is so powerful.

We built an entire AI webapp (GeoGuessrGPT) with just 2 GPT-4o prompts and 100 lines of code in an hour and the results were insane. Pre-LLMs, this would've taken thousands of hours. We're in an era where anyone can be a 10x or 100x engineer, even without coding background. 🤯

Loved the shoelace analogy from #TheMomTest: before solving a problem, make sure your customers truly need a solution. If they haven't tried to fix it themselves, they might not need your solution either. Customer discovery doesn’t stop after @ycombinator

@pinecone @milvusio @gpt_index This new data access pattern will require some innovation in data infra domain. How we store these embeddings, make updates, do on-demand ANN/KNN searches will ultimately enable wide business adoptions for LLMs.

@pinecone @milvusio @gpt_index Previously, data access patterns focused on unique ID fetching (noSQL) or filtering based on column relations (SQL). Now, a new data access pattern emerges with the rise of LLMs that fetches the top K results by comparing pairwise distances of rows/embeddings.

Examining the primitives of our modern tech stack (FE, BE, DB, security, etc.), none of them are controlled by closed-source technology (React, FastAPI, Postgres, OpenSSL, etc.). As a believer in ML/LLM becoming another primitive, it is likely to follow this trend.

Some common pitfalls I see in ML/LLM applications: 1) hard to fully integrate(generic data connectors doesn't work) 2) hard to replicate performance. Demos can only get you so far. Existing ML solutions should instead optimize for customers TTV.
