Using Zep memory with the Vercel AI SDK. Framework and model agnostic knowledge graph.

Sharing because I was wondering if OpenAI would built a bot in the future and it seems to me having spacial audio on the model could provide a hint at that.

Even though it supports pcm16 with two channels - I kind of doubt this beta version can do it. It frankly gets it wrong most times. But sometimes...

A small experiment to see if we are there yet with highly virtualized CPU compute and Small Language Models (SLM). The answer is a resounding maybe, but most likely not. Huge thanks to Justine for her work on Llamafile supported by Mozilla. Hope folks find this R&D useful.

Yup, this seems right. You pay for tokens no matter what. Even in other APIs. Did you know you can set an expire for files, vector stores, etc? No need to pay for long term storage on those. Also, threads are free.

I have some assumptions/guesses on how billing works. Gonna do a post on this on my unremarkable.ai blog, please do signup for posts there, no spam. I could be right or wrong but need to do some experiments and publish later.

Interesting, would Amazon Bedrock be an alternative? That's how I use Claude.

LMAO. Yes, I love ESM modules. So maybe more like 2012 or 2015. Would you like to see TypeScript?

Great points. Dont even get me started about how function calling in other LLMs costs me tokens. Something OpenAI provides OOTB. I'm also not a big fan of OpenAI's lock in. Right now I'm on a huge Claude 3 Haiku kick. That said, OpenAI does seem to get the APIs right and my hunch is the new Assistants API is going to potentially disrupt things again. Time will tell.

Thanks @beoberha, I am too. I like one take I heard on Twitter. The sentiment was something like these types of systems are useful under the AI-Powered Productivity industry which has incremental gains, no big bangs. Said another way, if your job was to help a TON of your employees be more productive individually, it is worth it because companies measure those efforts broadly and the payoff is there. But again, not big. My advice for folks to stay lower level and hook AI automation up with simple, closed loop, LLM patterns that feel more like basic API calls in a choreographed manner. OMG, hope all that made sense
