Trivai.app – AI powered trivia questions, with references

Hi HN! As many of you, I've had a lot of fun playing around with LLMs the past few months and I wanted to show you what I've built. I made a trivia website using GPT3 a while back just to have something to play with. My initial interest was to see if I could get structured responses to build a UI around, and if I could get the LLM to refer back to what piece of text it used to create questions and answers with. The initial results were pretty good, but not good enough. Fast forward a few months, GPT 3.5 was released to the public and I was released from my work. I decided to pick this up…

    One of the coolest things I've been able to get GPT-3 to do is generate questions based on a piece of text. So, I built a simple site to help others do the same. Hopefully, this can be useful to teachers, trainers, or just anyone who wants to create a fun and unique quiz.

    Hey HN — I'm Parth, I built thisorthis.ai because I was tired of copy-pasting the same prompt across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini tabs to figure out which model actually gave the best answer. What it does: You type one prompt, pick 2–6 models (we support 47 text models and several image models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Meta, Amazon, Mistral, Cohere, AI21), and see every response side-by-side. There's also a feature called SmartPick that uses an LLM evaluator to score each response on Clarity, Accuracy, Completeness, and Helpfulness — useful when you're comparing 6 models and…

    Hello HN! I was fed up switching between multiple UIs to ask GPT, Claude, etc… the same question and comparing the answers. So I built a way to ask multiple models the same question efficiently by having the LLM compare the responses and only show you new and valuable information from the 2nd model. This way you still get a fast response as normal from the 1st model, but also get any added value provided by the 2nd model. Initially I built my own UI to use this, but stumbled upon Open WebUI (formerly Ollama WebUI) which is fantastic, but is made more for local access to LLMs. So I talked to…

    Hi HN, Today we’re launching GPT-4 answers on Phind.com, a developer-focused search engine that uses generative AI to browse the web and answer technical questions, complete with code examples and detailed explanations. Unlike vanilla GPT-4, Phind feeds in relevant websites and technical documentation, reducing the model’s hallucination and keeping it up-to-date. To use it, simply enable the “Expert” toggle before doing a search. GPT-4 is making a night-and-day difference in terms of answer quality. For a question like “How can I RLHF a LLaMa model”, Phind in Expert mode delivers a…
