GPT‑Live 14 days ago

When GPT-Live in Codex, so i can walk the dog while shipping?

I'm not disagreeing with the article, but I think you are right that if you use AI in the right setting it can do much more than the average ChatGP that outputs Linkedin like crap:

interdisciplinary teams/person + SOTA AI + Right context (customer/ internal pain points, access to the code, focussed Hackathon) = amazing cool things.

Asking for feedback:

Sorry for hijacking the convo, but you (with local models) are my target audience in terms of hardware.

Is anybody willing to test my new app https://document.bot? It is like Cursor IDE but custom harness for knowledge work (PDF's, MS Office files etc).

You can connect your existing offline LLM models through LMStudio, Ollama, or app managed LLM models (Qwen3.5, Gemma 4, etc)

Might have to make a new Ask HN post for this, but again, you are users with good hardware setups.

DeepSeek OCR 9 months ago

Lot's of OCR/ LLM's (Even Gemini Pro 2.5) still struggle converting complex tables to markdown or HTML: Tables with multiple headers and merged cells that get mixed up, multiple columns with tick boxes get mixed up, multi page tables that are not understood correctly. Also Llamaindex fails miserably on those things.

Curious to hear which OCR/ LLM excels with these specific issues? Example complex table: https://cdn.aviation.bot/complex-tables.zip

I can only parse this table correctly by first parsing the table headers manually into HTML as example output. However, it still mixes up tick boxes. Full table examples: https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/icao-compliance-checklist

Nice, but can somebody tell me if this performs better than my simple Postgres MCP using npx? My current setup uses the LLM to search through my local Postgres in multiple steps. I guess this Pgmcp is doing multiple steps in the background and returns the final result to the LLM calling the MCP tool?

Codex: ``` [mcp_servers.postgresMCP] command = "npx" args = ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres", "postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/db"] ```

Cursor: ``` "postgresMCP": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres", "postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/db" ] }, ```

With my setup i can easily switch between LLM's

Is it me or is the link only opening as JSON?

Wondering how this compares to the Gemini (preview) embeddings as they seem to perform significantly better than OpenAI embeddings 3 large. I don't see any MTEB scores so hard to compare.

Recommendations? I'm seeking a robotics course akin to prompt engineering, LangChain, or LangGraph that prepares me for the 'ChatGPT' moment in robotics. While SLAM navigation and similar topics are vital, it feels reminiscent of five years ago when one needed to master machine learning to create their own ML models. Nowadays, most LLM models are API-based and don't require an ML background.

I'm wondering how this Google announcement will have an impact on their future revenue, and how easily competitors can replicate this breakthrough?
