Thank you. The result that surprised us most while writing it: the ceiling is about 100 reliably triggerable skills, and eviction starts with the ones you have invoked least. So the skill you just installed and never used is the first to lose its description. If you only read one section, read the eviction analysis.
which agent did i miss?
thx! contribution is much appreciated!
We built this as a simple open directory: one place to discover, compare, and learn about coding agents.

It covers: - coding agents - models - mcp, skills, and protocols - benchmarks - weekly updates

This is a community-driven project — the more people contribute, the more useful it becomes.

Feel free to open an issue, suggest an agent, or submit a PR.

AdaL is the world’s first local coding agent with web UI.Claude Code has proven that coding agents work best when they are local, bringing developers back to the terminal.Terminal UIs are fast and great with shortcuts, shell mode, and developer-friendly workflows. But they are limited in history and image display, and the experience varies by terminal and OS. Many of them flicker (buuuut not...

Hiring founding full-stack, AI/ML engineers, and growth lead.

If you have an itch for startups or you are an ex-founder, and love the promises of agents and model fine-tuning, you shall be one of us.

We are the creators behind AdalFlow, and we are building the first virtual AI/ML engineer.

Here is how you stand out: - You go beyond just building the agents, and care deeply about evaluating and optimizing them. - You hate manual prompting. - You want to make AI build AI—for yourself and for others. - You are relentless, and you know no limits when it comes to creating the best user experience. - You also go beyond engineering—you care about product design, and you care about your peer developer users. - You can write technical content, host events, love social media, enjoy making videos, and do sales. - You’re not all grind; you’re down to hit startup parties. We are part of the Mission Control community!

We’re based in SF, but we’re open to remote for the right fit.

Let’s meet and chat. We are still in stealth but should come out in 2~3 months.

On-going open source project to reach to product-grad product.

Built with AdalFlow library: https://github.com/SylphAI-Inc/AdalFlow

Will including dataset creation, evaluation, and auto-prompt optimization

not few shot, but prompt tuning via text generation via auto-differentiation.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.16673

Time to move to open-source and smaller reasoning model.

Here are the top three learnings from auto-prompt optimizing DeepSeek R1 LLaMA70B for RAG:

1⃣ A trained DeepSeek R1 LLaMA70B(r1 distilled) is even better than GPT-o1 without training. 2⃣ The “Reasoning” model is less susceptible to overfitting compared with non-reasoning models. By comparing it with GPT-3.5, both gpt3.5 and r1 distilled start at the same accuracy and reach similar accuracy on the validation dataset. However, on the test dataset, r1 distilled often achieves much higher accuracy. 3⃣ R1 can think too long and run out of output tokens before finishing the task. The optimized prompt specifically added instructions for it to “think less.”

We use gpt4o as the backward model. But I’m excited to try deepseek r1 as it has explicit reasoning available.

We are continuously adding more benchmarks to the paper with UTAustin.

Yup. The LLM-AutoDiff is just getting started. But it has proven generation-only without explicitly doing few-shot samples can be even more effective and create shorter final prompts
Author here. Yea, in this fashion. And it can create the feedback using llm as a backward engine
you need a training dataset, and a task pipeline that works. You can refer to this doc: https://adalflow.sylph.ai/use_cases/question_answering.html
Re: on Friday August 23, 2024 @03:09AM (#41326750)
Hey Hackers,

I'm Li Yin ([GitHub](https://github.com/liyin2015)), the author of AdalFlow and a former AI researcher at Meta AI.

AdalFlow was inspired by a viral [LinkedIn post](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/li-yin-ai_both-ai-research-an...) I made, discussing how the LLM ecosystem lacks a shared library that bridges the gap between research and product development—similar to how PyTorch has streamlined model training and adaptation.

I decided to build this library while working on my product, a conversational search engine called [Sylph](https://sylph.ai/). After trying out existing libraries and finding that I had to write everything myself, I ended up with a solution that was lighter, faster, and offered more control. However, managing the codebase soon became overwhelming.

AdalFlow is based on my vision for the future of LLM applications, which I see as a three-stage workflow:

- *V1*: Use the library to quickly build your initial task pipeline, getting you 70-80% of the way to production. - *V2*: Auto-optimize the prompt to push an additional 10%, bringing your product to a near-ready state without the hassle of manual prompt iteration. - *V3*: Leverage V2 to label more data. As more users interact with your product, the next step is to fine-tune the LLM, further optimizing for speed, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness.

We've completed V1 and V2. Our auto-optimizer can enhance GPT-3.5 performance to match that of GPT-4, making any task nearly production-ready. Our architecture is the most robust, lightweight, and modular, with our auto-optimizer being the most accurate—even when compared to Dspy and Text-Grad. We have three research papers coming out soon that will explain how we achieved this. This is the first time the library has been released ahead of the research papers.

It’s definitely worth checking out—you might be surprised by the results. We've had similar experiences using PyTorch and PyTorch Lightning.

To learn more about our optimizer, visit: https://adalflow.sylph.ai/use_cases/classification.html.

Best,

Li

I think you can use the python version to optimize the prompt and use the typescript version to deploy it
Thanks for the insightful response. Good point on using 4o-mini to save cost. I'll try it out.

I will check more into the soft-prompt tuning.

For the current scope, we are focused on in-context learning, ways to improve model reasoning at the inference time.

We use auto-differentiative framework (backpropagation) to do zero-shot instruction optimization and few-shot demonstration. currently even just zero-shot can often surpass Dspy's few-shots (as many as 40 shots). And I have come up a training paradigm that will (1) start zero-shot (2) review performance from advanced teacher model to see if we can have a gap to gain from the teacher. (3) if there is a gap to teacher, we start to do low-shot demonstrations, and gradually increase the number of shots.

Wow, this is the first time I heard about Ada Language
