24 alternatives to Symphony – Use GPT-4 to call functions in sequence
Hey HN! I'm excited to introduce Symphony – a toolkit designed to help developers write functions and let GPT-4 call them in whatever sequence that makes most sense based on conversation. I've been quite amazed[1] by GPT-4's recent ability to both detect when a function needs to be called and to respond with JSON that adheres to the function's signature. Since developers currently append descriptions of functions to API calls[2], I often found myself wishing for a toolkit that would automatically create these descriptions as I added and debugged functions during development. You can get…
Symphony is a developer toolkit that enables GPT-4 to automatically detect and call functions in the optimal sequence based on conversation context. It automatically generates function descriptions for API calls… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Symphony – Use GPT-4 to call functions in sequence launched in 2023; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

A brief overview: 1. Workflows steps share a running context, with access to data they need require. 2. Steps in the workflow (builders) are chained together based on a topologically sorted built from the predefined input & output. 3. No servers spin up (like Conductor/Cadence) - the orchestrator is low level and meant for simplifying business logic. 4. Before/After listeners for each step. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Hi HN! Erik here from Banana (formerly the serverless GPU platform), excited to show you what we’ve been working on next: Fructose Fructose is a python package to call LLMs as strongly typed functions. It uses function type signatures to guide the generation and guarantee a correctly typed output, in whatever basic/complex python datatype requested. By guaranteeing output structure, we believe this will enable more complex applications to be built, interweaving code with LLMs with code. For now, we’ve shipped Fructose as a client-only library simply calling gpt-4 (by default) with json…

ive spent the past few months designing a framework for orchestrating multiple large language models in parallel — not to choose the “best,” but to let them argue, mix their outputs, and preserve dissent structurally. It’s called Maestro heres the whitepaper https://github.com/d3fq0n1/maestro-orchestrator (Narrative version here: https://defqon1.substack.com/p/maestro-a-framework-for-coher...) Core ideas: Prompts are dispatched to multiple LLMs (e.g., GPT-4, Claude, open-source models) The system compares their outputs and synthesizes them It never…

What inspired this project today was watching this amazing video by 3Blue1Brown called "But what is a GPT?" on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjZofJX0v4M - I highly recommend watching it). I added it to the repo for reference. When it clicked in my head that "knowing a fact" is nearly synonymous with predicting a word (or series of words), I wanted to put it to the test, because it seemed so simple. I chose JavaScript because I can exploit the way it structures objects to aid in the modeling of language. For example: "I want to be at the beach", "I will do it later",…

Hi Hacker News! My name is Sagar, I’m working on a startup called Speakeasy - we’re making all APIs self-service. The platform is currently in beta, but we’re independently launching this tool which you can use to generate language-idiomatic, statically-typed TS SDKs from any public OpenAPI schemas. We hope to continue iterating on this to give devs a way to easily generate high fidelity client SDKs for all the major languages. Inspiration for this product is from past experiences struggling with OpenAPI. I was originally optimistic about using the OpenAPI tools to build out our offering,…

Hi HN, I've been working on an experimental tool that helps you use GPT to work on your codebase. I'd love to improve the tool if there's interest. New ideas welcome! I think this could also be useful for experimenting with other types of recursive prompts. It’s a little bit Swiss Army knife and a little bit skynet: https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr From the README: Promptr is a CLI tool for operating on your codebase using GPT. Promptr dynamically includes one or more files into your GPT prompts, and it can optionally parse and apply the changes that GPT suggests to…

We're excited to share a tool we've been working on called gpt-code-search. It allows you to search any codebase using natural language locally on your machine. We leverage OpenAI's GPT-4 and function calling to retrieve, search, and answer queries about your code. All you need to do is to install the package with `pip install gpt-code-search`, set up your `OPENAI_API_KEY` as an environment variable, and start asking questions with `gpt-code-search query `. E.g. You can ask questions like "How do I use the analytics module?" or "Document all the API routes related to authentication." This is…
