    Documents the style side of the short-story Creative Writing LLM benchmark: we generated many short stories with a range of LLMs, then analyzed those stories for stylistic fingerprints and within-model diversity. This study focuses on how models write, how their outputs differ, and how varied each m

    Recently I've been working on making LLM evaluations fast by using bayesian optimization to select a sensible subset. Bayesian optimization is used because it’s good for exploration / exploitation of expensive black box (paraphrase, LLM). I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on this!

    Hey HN! I'd love to get some people to mess around with a little side project I built to teach myself DSPy! I've been a big fan of reading fiction + webnovels for a while now, and have always been curious about two things: how can LLMs iteratively learn to write better based on reader feedback, and which LLMs are actually best at creative writing (research benchmarks are cool, but don't necessarily translate to real-world usage). That's exactly why I built narrator.sh! The platform takes in a user input for a novel idea, then generates serialized fiction chapter-by-chapter by using DSPy to…

    We developed a new framework that enables flexible control of generated text in language models. By combining several models and/or system prompts in one mathematical formula, it lets you tweak your style and combine model outputs with ease. A handy tool for those working with LLMs, looking for more fine-grained control of stylistic output. More details in our paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.14479. Feedback and potential applications are welcome.

    Hi all! This morning, we released a new Apache 2.0 licensed model on HuggingFace for detecting hallucinations in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems. What we've found is that even when given a "simple" instruction like "summarize the following news article," every LLM that's available hallucinates to some extent, making up details that never existed in the source article -- and some of them quite a bit. As a RAG provider and proponents of ethical AI, we want to see LLMs get better at this. We've published an open source model, a blog more thoroughly describing our methodology (and…

    I built a daily word association puzzle where you engage in a quiet, collaborative mind meld with AI. I'd love to have folks try it out and tell me what they think! Here's how it works: 1. Enter your first word to reveal the AI's word of the day. 2. Don't think too hard about it. It's just a starting point. 3. Both of you think of a word that connects the two. 4. To win, you need to say the same word. 5. You have 8 guesses to converge. 6. Need a hint? The AI will drop a riddle in your final two guesses. HOW DOES IT WORK? After the user_word + ai_word are submitted, I trigger two separate LLM…

    I built a small game that tests your ability to differentiate between human written text and large language models. Each round shows two similar sentences, one is drawn from a 40‑k sentence human‑written dataset (with citations) and the other generated by an AI model. It’s a lightweight way to build some AI literacy and see how tricky it can be to tell real writing from synthetic text.

    Knit was created to solve pains of other LLM playgrounds. Some of the highlights: - Smart prompt builder, create prompt with simple requirement and few shot learning, fast and effortlessly. - Function call simulation, visualize the function callings and you can also setup a mocked value to return. - Support OpenAI/Anthropic/Azure models. - Manage prompts with projects and members. - And so much more! I have been developing Knit by myself for over 4 months now, and am looking for ways to improve it. Any feedback is appreciated.

    I've been working on applying LLMs to long-context, verifiable problems over the past year, and today I'm releasing a benchmark of 62,000 pencil puzzles across 94 types (sudoku, nonori, slitherlink, etc.). The benchmark also allows for intermediate checks /rule breaks for all varieties at any step. I tested 51 models against a subset (300 puzzles) in two modes: single-shot (output the full solution) and agentic (iterate with verifier feedback). Some results: - Best model (GPT 5.2@xhigh) solves 56%. (~ half the puzzles are unsolved by any model) - Agentic solves average 29 turns. The…

    LLM Application development is extremely iterative, more so than any other types of development. This is because in addition to all the activities involved in regular application development, we also need to make the LLM Application accurate and reduce hallucination. To improve performance, we need to trial and error various combinations of LLM models, prompt templates (e.g., few-shot, chain-of-thought), prompt context with different RAG architecture, try different agent architecture, and more. There are thousands of permutations to try. We need to be able to easily experiment with these…
