I love working in Zed. It really is a delight to use, and I think the Agentic coding integration is really well done. I'm excited to see them investing in this space more.
I understand people's concerns about VC funding, but I think building quality products takes capital. The funding is still relatively small, especially when you compare it to players like Cursor, etc. And I think Zed is a much, much better product!
Zed being OSS is a gift to the community, and I suspect DeltaDB will be as well. And as others have said, Nathan (CEO) is a delightful human.
Congrats, Zed!

I think it is a very common misconception (by consumers or businesses trying to use LLMs) that fine tuning can be used to inject new knowledge. I'm not sure many of the fine-tuning platforms do much to disavow people of this notion.

Nah, we're pretty happy with the new trajectory. :)

We're (fixie.ai) working on on our SLM (speech language model). We'll release something soon to play with :)

This is a great idea. We'll add it.

Thanks for trying it out! That's good feedback on the voice. It's actually a voice clone of a real voice actor, but I agree there are moments where it still feels not quiittee there.

Yeah it's a great question. We're still exploring how far we can take this. I think we'll be able to get pretty basic examples working in 3.5 (like the Recipe example), but more complicated, flexible UIs will need GPT-4 for now (or some other finetuned model that specializes in this).

Yeah, great feedback. We'll have a bunch more examples that vary in complexity coming out in the next couple of weeks.

Short answer: yes! We think this is actually a super compelling use case, and there are a few different ways to accomplish it. We already support auth mechanisms like Oauth, and there is also agent storage built in.

You can use both Langchain and GPT Index with Fixie Agents. We're fans of what they've built, and they can be great tools.

As a quick correction, the current Web Payments API (PaymentRequest) that is making its way through the W3C process is at https://w3c.github.io/browser-payment-api/. It's not the one from web-payments.org.
What Apple has announced so far is actually quite similar to PaymentRequest. Apple is a part of the Working Group, so this isn't a huge surprise. I am hopeful that the two implementations will converge rather quickly over the next few months. Apple emailed the public working group list expressing this hope as well [1].
For full disclosure, I am an editor on the PaymentRequest spec, and I work on Chrome.
