I'm really glad the input token count is continuing to grow. I need to do some digging into better/faster vector models for search engines as well.

Great write-up, thank you!

Thanks for sharing your wisdom Simon. Happy new year!

This is very good and helpful. I'd say I'm 30% to being a "power user" and learned a ton

I’ve loved staying informed via your prolific writing this year. Thanks for all the care you put into it. So many of us are thankful for this gift to the web. Happy New Year

One of the best and most useful LLM articles I've read for a while. And I like the term slop. Have not heard of it before but will start using it from now on.

It's a good timeline but it's missing some important models like Gemma 1 in February

Simon, you're one of my favorite writers in this space and I just love the quality and candor of your writing. Happy New Year, looking forward to more of your writings!

Thank you for everything you’ve been sharing this last year. Invaluable to anyone getting into the space, and written extremely well 🙏

This is really good and helpful, thank you! Also: I very genuinely was gonna say that already before finding the quote 🤣

Thanks for sharing

I tried out Gemini voice mode because of your review and it's so good Thank you for sharing

Yeah I've noticed it can handle really small bits well, but when it comes to even a simple CRUD app (even well defined with functional requirements, user stories, and workflows), it can't stay cohesive and struggles mightily. That to me is an unmet baseline for producing a real web application

Even regular chat is science fiction come to life, I think people have forgotten that very quickly

This is interesting, I need to give it some thought as to how to overcome the probabilistic challenge. I’d love to see some examples of acceptance tests that are applied over a system prompt.

Love your posts

What an AMAZING work. Thank you @simonwillison.net !

The implied story by these two blog post titles and dates is very amusing to me 😂 First time I’ve come across your blog, I’m looking forward to reading more!

Thanks for writing about LLMs with such consistency. You've inspired a lot of us!
