Oh, this looks neat: https://structural.chat This is the latest product from the #Unison team (who I knew from the #Scala world back before they founded Unison). Haven't read my way through the papers yet, but the (very reasonable-sounding) theory seems to be that #LLMs are actually a pretty lousy way to build chatbots -- they're achingly slow, non-deterministic, and dangerous from a security POV. They've instead come up with a technology that provides a similar look-and-feel, but is lightning-fast and deterministic, so it works Just Plain Better. Very cool, and very much a product for our times. I look forward to digging into how it works...
