Hey, Jared Palmer (creator of this playground) here. Really excited to ship this. I’ve been building this over the past few weeks to compare LLMs from different providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc. At Vercel, I manage our Frameworks division (including Next.js, Svelte, and Turbo) and wanted to also dogfood some of the latest features in a slightly larger application. This playground takes a lot of inspiration from https://nat.dev and is built on Tailwind, ui.shadcn.com, and some upcoming Vercel products we’re announcing soon. We’re going to continue adding models to…

Spelltest framework simulates conversations between AI ‘synthetic users' in an environment to test and refine LLM-based applications. It ensures your app converse with utmost accuracy and relevance. Post-chat, Spelltest assesses responses, providing qualitative and quantitative feedback on performance. Suitable for both chat and completion modes. When to use: - After modifying your prompt. - When your LLM provider updates. - As a CI step for you repo. All feedback and collaborations appreciated!

We'd like to introduce HN to Spell, which is a tool for easily running ML/DL jobs remotely. As Deep Learning has grown we see engineers and researchers struggle to incorporate running on GPUs into their workflow. So we built Spell to be the easiest way to get code running elsewhere - like the bash '&' operator but for remote machines. Sign up for an account at https://web.spell.run/waitlist, which includes $300 in credits for GPU time. There's a waitlist, but we'll be approving accounts as they come in. Here are some of the features we really wanted and built into Spell:…
