That’s cool but can it generate chrome extension images or iOS apps icons

For iOS apps or chrome extensions?

anyone know of any good image generation LLMs that are good with icons or generation extension logos. I am surprised this isn't an area of focus.

I am wrote a few tools to make process easier for them to get the context. my llm changed through 3 computers to get access to logs with the wrong permissions. I kept giving it enough information to see that was the viable path with some hints along the way.

I wonder which happens first, we start building tools for agents to use to get better context or agents can hook in.

I am surprised the things they do everyday to get context they need.

anyone doing any writing on how to think about what to include in an vector embedding? most advice I read is just throw everything in there. 😬

I know most things will be specific to your project, but would be interested in what people have done.

I just finished printing this cool 3D holder for my desk. It’s a wire holder that keeps my wires from falling off the back of my desk. I think it’s pretty neat!

What does that do to response time? Tanks it no?

I have seen the variance too, which why I graph OpenAI timings. I have access to scale tier but even then there is some variance.

Problem with local is reliability int as good, I guess you save time on network, which isn’t insignificant
