Is this accessible via a local endpoint? I'd want to try calling it from other apps, for example.
I write the simplest incarnation of an idea onto an app, and just share it out with colleagues. I have no expectations. I'd say my hit rate is about 1/5. I consider it very high. It's also that high because my audience is my coworkers and I have a good idea of what they want. It's also that low because I just cobble together stuff that barely works, with the ultimate intent to see if i'd get more questions/requests out of it.

I was just using tesseract.js and the repo looks active. Tesseract is still crap, but it's the free crap, so I'll just put up with it. Grayscale seems to improve the OCR. I'm sure there are tons of other techniques to improve the result
Anthropic?! Regardless of what it is, congrats!

Any reading material about this?
Sounds like GPT-speak to me...
I think COT would still be useful for guiding the LLM to customized context. Most of these examples refer to vanilla arithmetic/logic reasoning COT.
I think with Langchain the LLM picks the tools/APIs you provide to it.

With Jarvis the LLM picks the HF models available.
