We are offering a significant bounty to any AI coding assistant which can meaningfully improve our engineer's productivity in Rust. We have been frustrated by what's out there today, as even frontier reasoning models seem to fail at common tasks.
chroma is offering a [large] bounty for any ai coding assistant that knows enough rust to make a meaningful improvement to engineering productivity, as evaluated by our systems engineers. everything we've tried sucks. o1 thought about lifetimes for 9 minuts and got it wrong.

awesome collaboration with Baseten. running embedding model inference is such a common need we hear from customers and Baseten makes it fast and easy.
You can now use embedding models on Baseten as part of @trychroma's Python SDK! . Check out the guide by @philip_kiely for the step-by-step on how to use the integration (you can embed and do inference on your data in minutes).
