I think that was the joke.

I thought that's what lockout periods were for?

Those are just standard disclaimers.
They’re upfront about their decisions and intentions. All of which make perfect sense. What gives it shady vibes for you?

Eg: Longer context has long been known to reduce response accuracy, so it makes perfect sense why they’d limit it especially at launch. Personal evals are in fact more useful than public benchmarks so it makes sense (and is refreshing) that they’re cautioning against them…

Comms can mean outward communication even if it’s not done or filtered by a comms team. In the case of Oxide it almost certainly means that.

Vector databases were always more about retrieval than either vectors or data storage. But the term stuck all too well and companies held on to it a tad too long. Sorry :)

Props to the team not only for changing their minds from a strongly-held belief but making it very public and not hiding the fact that it's a reversal.

The linked post from Armin is gold:

"... whenever you are confronted with a very strong opinion about a topic, reasonable discussions about the topic often involve arguments that have long become outdated or are no longer strictly relevant to the conversation."

And that's from 2016! These days if you're arguing from a position you took even a week ago, you already might be out of sync.

“Agent” is the type of product, like “car.” “Dot” is the name of the product, like “Helix.”

Some important work is fun to do, some isn’t.

Of course they are. Why wouldn’t they?

Just so you know, your comment was automatically hidden (“dead”) until I vouched for it now. Same for most of your recent submissions. Actually it’s probably because of your (exclusively self-promotional) submissions that your comments and submissions get hidden.

It doesn’t take a marketing person to submit a link.
