πŸ€– My LLM Week 1 & 2 πŸ€–

#gpt4 was only publicly released 14 days ago

Yet, the LLM world is moving really fast, and people are noticing that it's an "iPhone moment"

But if you haven't been able to play catch up, here are the 3 top topics that caught my attention πŸ‘‡ 1/ The paper on jobs impacted by #gpt dropped

🏁 On with S02E01 of my saga for the AI-enabled developer

In this issue, I want to talk a bit about the elephant in the room 🐘

A topic that's not really mentioned for #gpt4's web users cause you need to preserve the magic πŸͺ„

Yep, I'm gonna talk about max context size πŸ‘‡

1/13 ☝️ #gpt4 doesn't remember everything

Have you heard of 8K and 32K contexts?

Apart from pricing πŸ’Έ, do you know what it really entails?

It means that your chat actually has a short-term memory 😢

While I went off track once again, I managed to ship something πŸŽ‰

Here is the content of pAIRprog chrome 0.0.1:
πŸ”Έ Copy Github issue + answers into prompts
πŸ”Έ Copy StackOveflow issue + answer into prompts

It's under review, but it'll drop here: chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…

1/10 Of course, #gpt4 is coding most of it

But I'd say it's a 70% / 30% effort split this time

It provided a lot of outdated answers
> So I needed to feed it Github issues
> Which is tedious
> Which is why I'm making this extension πŸ™ƒ

But I learned a lot along the way πŸ‘‡

🏁 And on with part 6

Let's take a turn and work on the Chrome Extension cause I believe I'll be getting it out way before the VSCode one

I'm not waiting for the web to get promptful so I'm taking maters into my own hands

1/11 As always, #gpt4 is setting up and creating everything for me admirably. Although I see some questionable configs in eslint, prettier and tsconfig if it tries to provide them

Oh πŸ’© !

🏁 Like a plumber would say, "Let's-a-go" with part 5

This time, I'll focus a bit more on the development side cause that may be why you've come here in the first place πŸ˜—

1/13 #chatgpt's been great to pop up new projects (albeit some outdated methods once in a while)

But now that we're getting to the meat of software making, which is actually more than following a gettin' started page, a couple of things are happening

Time for numbering #️⃣

🏁 On with Part 4 of my #gpt4 saga

Between pricing (I'm cheap as f😡k) and rate limiting, I'm now spending half my time writing

Truth is, I quite enjoy it so let's gooooo πŸ‘‡

1/15 So at least the #GPT4's API is available for prompting.

But I don't like the playground

πŸ‘ΆπŸ» I need pairprog-webview, nextjs, tailwind to chat with your own API
πŸ€– Sure thing
πŸ‘΅πŸ» Wow, this API call looks quite outdated and doesn't work
πŸ€– ermmm...

How do I solve this? πŸ€”

I'm on an adventure to get #gpt4 to code its own VSCode extension πŸ—Ί

Starting from scratch with Language Models, I'll share every discovery, insight, or rambling that crosses my mind along the way.

So, if you're interested, here's a link to every part πŸ‘‡ 1️⃣ The honeymoon part

In which I start my journey and quickly diverge into publishing a full website using mostly #gpt4 prompts

🏁 Here we go with Part 3

While I was writing Part 2 I finally got my #gpt4 API access πŸ₯³

Using the API #chatgpt, it answers at least 3x faster, cool

So we're back on track from the @openapi playground while literally siphoning my πŸ’΅

Some thoughts about that...

1/11 #gpt4 is ~20x more expensive than #gpt3

After 10 minutes I ended up maxing the context (what's taken into account for the response) and I was already at $2.18

May seem small but it really depends on your situation 🌎

I already love #GPT4

I love it so much that I'm getting it to turn itself into a fully functional pair programming assistant inside of a #vscode extension

4 hours in, it’s already writing 90% of its own code

To do this, I'm teaching it a new language

1/? πŸ‘‡ #GPT4 is surely amazing, but its top current limitation is interactivity. Out of the box, #chatgpt4 has no way of directly with outside systems, which is a drag

The thing is, you can actually teach it to

But first, let’s analyze the way we interact with the chat website
