I was hoping for more details about their implementation, I saw ollama as the open source // platform agnostic tool but I worry their recent posturing is going against that


We did consider building functionality into Ollama that would go fetch search results and website contents using a headless browser or similar. However we had a lot of worries about result quality and also IP blocking from Ollama creating crawler-like behavior. Having a hosted API felt like a fast path to get results into users' context window, but we are still exploring the local option. Ideally you'd be able to stay fully local if you want to (even when using capabilities like search)


Their GUI is closed-source. If someone wants an easy to use & easy to setup app, may as well use LMStudio, which doesn't try to pretend to be OSS. Or use ramalama which is basically just containerizing LLMs and the relevant bits, pretty damn similar to ollama. Or just go back to "basics" and use llama.cpp or vllm.


Their posture has continually been getting worse and worse. It's deceptive and I've expunged it from all my systems


Great way to sell some of those empty GPU cycles to consumers


I was laid off this year and also saw a massive uptick in offers in July. Based in Colorado, but was looking nation wide and I got more interest out of SF than the rest of the country combined.


Sounds like you're one of the lucky ones. In my experience, remote tech jobs have largely moved to India. It's like pulling teeth at my company to get them to offer a remote job in a NA timezone (US or Canada).


I think more worrying is devices mesh networking with devices owned by your neighbors.


Exactly, like Amazon sidewalk. They market it as an easy configuration feature but it can also be used for tracking and telemetry. So your smart TV can call home even when you don't connect your own WiFi.


Same experience. I hopped on the beta because I thought the current version was going to be really bad and I wanted to watch them move towards something more functional. Its definitely not perfect but the way that the UI reacts in real time to holding the phone and elements moving makes it work really well and isn't something you can capture in a screenshot or video.

I am an Aerospace Simulation Software Engineer with a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering with 3 years of professional aerospace experience building simulation software for spacecraft, and 15 years of personal software experience. Space is definitely my passion, but I'm open to solving any problems that make the world a better place, specifically aerospace/physics/math heavy work.


Lots of comments on the price being too high, what are the odds this is a subsidized bare metal cost?


just based on how long it takes to produce these images, and how much text responses cost, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was close to cost
