CCP-bench has gotten WAY better on K2.5!

Same ask, same session, side by side, no system prompt. K2 Preview refuses, K2.5 gives factual history.

Frankly surprising and welcome to see loosening CCP-sensitive topics between model versions.

Show HN: Big-AGI 2 – Spent a year obsessing over AI for thinking

https://github.com/enricoros/big-AGI/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Hey HN, Enrico here. Some of you might remember Big-AGI from early chat days. The response here pushed me to quit my job and go all-in. Spent the last year rebuilding it properly (mostly hand-written) instead of shipping fast.This is the tool I couldn't find: the AI you use to decide what to build, and why, before going to Claude Code or Cursor.Even though the hype is on AI that 'does' things...

One person on Discord has called this 'taking the idea of self-consistency forward to ensemble model usage'. I guess this is, technically, what this approach is about :)
Thank you so much - there's much more and much better coming ;)
Yes, the only issue is the usage of tokens, which is obviously greater as we are sampling more of the solutions space. But it's a compromise to have GPT-4.5 level intelligence with GPT-4.
Same experience. Once you beam you look for it everywhere!
Same. I like using Opus | Gpt-4 | Gemini Pro (I don't have Ultra) | Mistral Large.
There's a combo box on the right side, and when you click on the "Add Merge" (green) button, the currently active model will be selected.

Show HN: Beam – Find Better Answers with Multi-Model AI Reasoning

https://big-agi.com/blog/beam-multi-model-ai-reasoning

HN, first things first: one year ago you make me believe in my opensource AI project, and I'm forever grateful[1].I am back with Beam - a technique to use diverse LLMs to generate responses, and Merge them - all within a snappy UX. I am no researcher, so you'll find a dark-mode blog, and not a light-mode PDF on arxiv :) Blog, open code, and live hosted demo, all published.You can use Beam early...

Re:LangChain Announces 10M Seed Round on Tuesday April 04, 2023 @04:53PM (#35445732)
TL;DR & DIY: asked gpt-4 this prompt "Cluster the top10 categories of complaints by the users, and describe each category with a few adjectives/nouns in order or importance." as of rn.

Crisp or too critical?

1. Documentation: lacking, inadequate, outdated

2. Code quality: simple, awkward, suboptimal

3. Production readiness: experimental, unreliable, limited

4. Monetization: unclear, risky, potentially detrimental to open-source

5. Community support: misinformation, poor communication, fragmented

6. Ecosystem: competing alternatives, redundancy, unclear positioning

7. Business model: potential rug-pull, VC-funded, uncertain sustainability

8. Developer experience: poor ergonomics, type erasure, confusing

9. Performance: slow, afterthought, poor observability

10. Maintenance: unpatched bugs, slow response to issues, dependency on contributors

Very interesting to follow the chain on the console. Vry good in breaking down multi-part questions, way better than Google Assistant - and then uses G to search. Thx for showing the way.

Very good point. Once you start breaking down a llm into presets/delegators, you introduce basically if-else, with all the problems of that split. Lack of visibility, local vs global optimization, lack of control and predictability, asymmetry of information. I wonder if the current Agents approach is a stopgap solution.
Re:Make your own ChatGPT UI on Monday March 20, 2023 @05:47AM (#35229277)
When the user selects one of those, any query will reveal the prompt. Can be changed but the change won't be persisted yet. We added a 'Custom' preset today that requires editing. Agree with your point tho - rn editing happens via 'forking' :)

OP: I went to sleep with this as my 1st post and 1 star, and woke up with a PR for 3.5-Turbo pending. Community for the win!
Re:Make your own ChatGPT UI on Monday March 20, 2023 @05:44AM (#35229253)
Hey guys, op here. Merged the PR for 3.5-Turbo support and cleaned up the code (very good observations on all the places 'gpt-4' was hardcoded). Combo box to select the model. GPT-4 will need a 4-enabled key, while 3.5-Turbo will work with any GPT key.

What does it take to make a basic ChatGPT-like frontend, with code highlighting, run in sandbox, drop-files, and 'acting' in prompts? Clone away and enjoy. First time poster
