Visualizing and navigating branched conversations with LLMs and embeddings
I wrote about Conversation Branching on my main blog and I've been prototyping an LLM chat app called Delta that has first-class conversation branching. LLM conversations typically follow a linear path, making it unintuitive to explore alternative directions or recover from miscommunications. This...
About 6 months ago, I experimented with running a few different multi-modal (vision) language models on my Macbook. At the time, the results weren't so great.
Writing React/Tailwind with LLMs is effortless
If you've experimented with Claude Artifacts or v0.dev, maybe you've been delighted (as I have) that the language model can conjure a UI for an idea you describe. Most of my experience building software, especially professionally, comes from working on the "backend". Building frontend (read: user...
