the edit is right - jev would be cheaper, faster, and more self-consistent (in general)

we actually use astra (and fable) in this way for our evals: evals.typesafe.ai

someone on the team cooked hard on that and it shows example traces comparing our model to opus/sol

very accurate!

the one nuance I'd get into is I'd call it "zero-shot" over "instruction-tuned" (the latter often implies a particular distribution), but very safe for sharing

inputs are structured program state. there is an example at around second 30 of the doom demo

(though ideally everyone gets off the waitlist and can try it out for themselves )

we hope so! the bigger hope is to not just eat LLM market share, but to allow for people to use AI much more in the inner loop of software
