The Amsterdam Founder's Dinner was a great experience. I am so glad I went. I made new friends, got helpful advice, and saw inspiring demos of new startups at the Amsterdam Startup Meetup. It was packed, with people even standing outside in the cold. Cool!

@fluosite The Amsterdam Founder's Dinner was a great experience. I am so glad I went. I made new friends, got helpful advice, and saw inspiring demos of new startups at the (packed) Amst❌rdam St❌rtup Meet❌p that followed it. Standing room only (outside actually).

@laffra It was really nice seeing your demo and meeting up with you on Founders Dinner aswell. You are a cool person.

I am leading a C4E masterclass on Nov 5 in Alkmaar, another in Amsterdam on Nov 7, and attending three meetups on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Let's meet there so you can hear how the masterclasses went.

"@Sourcegraph's use of Gemini 1.5 long-context models drastically reduced the overall hallucination rate (the generation of factually incorrect information).
The hallucination rate decreased from 18.97% to 10.48%, a significant improvement in accuracy and reliability." 💕💻

🤝 We teamed up with @Sourcegraph, the creators of Cody AI, to see how long context improves their AI coding assistance. Cody's performance with Gemini 1.5 Flash's 1M context window saw improvements across key benchmarks. Explore the results → goo.gle/3AmlylP

At #PyBay 2024, I joined @b_smoke to talk about #PyScript. Around minute 23, I demo #PySheets to show the power and flexibility of #PyScript, #PyOdide, #MicroPython, and #Wasm. You, too, can run your Python code in the browser. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=xjmfeo…

local-first development is one of the key parts of the Small Data Manifesto. @laffra shared why that's important in the context of his project PySheets.app!

Oh yes, I keep meaning to post this Lego selfie that the lovely folks at @GOTOamst gave me. Isn't it THE cutest? Those lil white spectacles!! 🥹

Don't miss the 6th episode of our interview series! 🙌 gotointerviews.isaqb.org
In this video @laffra explains why he thinks communication skills are even more important for developers than their actual code. He also reveals how to get promoted at Google and other big tech companies. 😁
Stay tuned for the next interviews that will be released every Friday! 🙃

LlamaIndex 🦙@llama_index
Today we’re excited to introduce @llama_index workflows - a new event-driven way of building multi-agent applications. Model each agent as a component that subscribes to events and emits events; you can build complex orchestration in a way that’s readable, Pythonic, and lets you take advantage of batching, async, and streaming. Graph/Pipeline-based approach had limitations: We didn’t get here overnight. In fact we launched our Query Pipeline abstraction earlier this year which was an attempt at LLM orchestration through DAGs. But as we tried to make it better we noticed a bunch of issues: ⚠️ The orchestration got baked into the edges and made the code unreadable/cumbersome to write ⚠️ There were too many edge cases once we added loops, hard to reason about ⚠️ It was hard to debug when things went wrong. Towards Event-Driven: In an event-driven architecture, the component subscribes to events and you are responsible for writing Python code to handle these events! This gives you a fully async framework. What you can do with this: You can orchestrate anything from advanced RAG (query-rewriting, reranking, CRAG) to multi-agent systems What’s Next: Workflows is still in beta, but we’re working it hard to make it the default way of orchestrating within LlamaIndex. Another next step is to have a native integration with llama-agents - translate your multi-agents into services! Stay tuned.
