cool! So the user does not need to use any additional tools?

Haha, yes it is a pattern. However, the claim here is that "our tiny model beats best model" is applicable for highly specific tasks.

Yes, you can download and host the fine-tuned open-source model like Llama. The fine-tuning is easy once you have the data, but gathering and cleaning data is challenging. There are also optimizations like upsampling and distillation that could improve the quality of the resulting model. We had 40 engineers at the Asana AI org and never did the fine-tuning because it is not easy.

Thank you, we will!:) This was a quick landing page for us to start the conversation and gather feedback. We are trying to make sure we are not building something that nobody needs.

We used a single file for the context. It is a cherry-picked example, you are right. I wanted to demonstrate a simple visual change that our model did correctly unlike Sonnet-3.5. Since we are just getting started, we don't have many features like making changes across multiple files in the code editor so it would be harder to demo. Our premise is that a smaller fine-tuned works better than a large, general-purpose SOTA model. We plan to share more metrics and data in the future.

Good point, I agree, we haven't shared enough details. Since we are very early, we only got high level results and want to get feedback on what direction would be most applicable and useful. We plan to add more metrics and data to the website in the future and also want to publicly host a fine-tuned model for anyone to try and see.

I agree. Our local early results were promising were a higher percentage of code change requests produced a functionally correct output. We will post more metrics and data in the future.

Not yet, but we plan to publicly host a fine-tuned model so anyone can try.

We run a set of change requests on the discourse repo. Good point, we plan to publish more detailed testing benchmarks and metrics on the website.

Good point, we plan to publish more benchmarks and also publicly host a model for anyone to try. We think Llama is a good option but as we progress we will test other open source models too like deepseek.

Thank you! Will email you within a couple of days:)

Yes, we fine-tune for each codebase. Now we are focusing on larger enterprise codebases that would: 1. benefit from the fine-tuning the most. 2. have the budget to pay us for the service. For smaller projects that are price-sensitive we are probably not a good fit at this point.

Thank you for the idea! We are also considering upsampling and distillation. But on high level, correctly setting up the data for simple fine-tuning can already produce great results.

I agree, we plan to publish more benchmarks and metrics. We also want to publicly host our fine-tuned model for one of the open-source repos so that people can try themselves agains SOTA models.

Good point, we should provide more detailed metrics. Since we are very early, we focus on the main metric in our view: higher accuracy of changes to be more practically usable. We will do more testing on overfitting and how the model performance on different types of tasks. On high level we believe in the idea of "a well fine-tuned model should be much better than a large general model". But we need more metrics, I agree.
