    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…

    Hello! I’m So Tokumaru ( https://tokumaru.work ), high school student from Japan working on ways to leverage large language models (LLMs) for K-12 programming education. Recently, I built a project called "TutoriaLLM," a self-hosted application designed to support educators and students through a multi-modal LLM that offers guided tutorials. TutoriaLLM integrates voice (voice-to-voice) and text-based AI interactions into Blockly, a block editor widely known for its use in Scratch. It enables server-side code execution and allows students to test their code directly in Minecraft…

    I built a system that lets LLMs automatically learn and improve problem-solving strategies over time, inspired by Andrej Karpathy's idea of a "third paradigm" for LLM learning. The basic idea: instead of using static system prompts, the LLM builds up a database of strategies that actually work for different problem types. When you give it a new problem, it selects the most relevant strategies, applies them, then evaluates how well they worked and refines them. For example, after seeing enough word problems, it learned this strategy: 1) Read carefully and identify unknowns, 2) Define…

    TLDR: We created a personalised Andrej Karpathy tutor that can response to questions about his Youtube videos in sub 1 second responses (voice-to-voice). We do this using a voice enabled RAG agent. See later in the post for demo link, Github Repo and blog write up. A few weeks ago we released the worlds fastest voice bot, achieving 500ms voice-to-voice response times, including a 200ms delay waiting for a user to stop speaking. After reaching the front page of HN, we thought about how we could take this a step further based on feedback we were getting from the community. Many companies were…
