Is the emerging architecture made out to be more complicated than what most of the companies are currently building? Perhaps! But this is most likely the general direction where things will start trending towards as the auxiliary ecosystem matures.

Shameless plug: For fellow Ruby-ists we're building an orchestration layer for building LLM applications, inspired by the original, Langchain.rb: https://github.com/andreibondarev/langchainrb

The accuracy degrades with a larger context size, as pointed out in the article itself:

Claude offers fast inference, GPT-3.5-level accuracy, more customization options for large customers, and up to a 100k context window (though we’ve found accuracy degrades with the length of input).

We’re building “Langchain for Ruby” under the current working name of “Langchain.rb”: https://github.com/andreibondarev/langchainrb

People that have contributed on the project thus far each have at least a decade of experience programming in Ruby. We’re trying our best to build an abstraction layer on top all of the common emerging AI/ML techniques, tools, and providers. We’re also focusbig on building an excellent developer experience that Ruby developers love and have gotten to expect.

Unlike the Python project, as it’s been pointed out here a countless number of times, we’d like to avoid deeply nested class structures that make it incredibly difficult to track and extend.

We’ve been pondering over the “what does Rails for Machine Learning look like?” question, and we’re taking a stab at answering this question.

We’re hyper-focused on the open source community and the developer community at large. All feedback/ideas/contributions/criticism are welcome and encouraged!

Searchkick is great if you're already committed to and are using Elasticsearch.

This is what I've been wondering as well -- For a brand new project, why would anyone even consider using Rails if there's just a slight chance of adding ML/AI capability in the future?

This sounds like plain “false advertising“ to me. Besides — wouldn’t an inventory tracking platform that has actual real AI/ML capabilities end up eventually replacing its “unintelligent” equivalents since it’ll most likely be a better hence more valuable product?

Only considering the US, yes.

I should have clarified... I followed my partner to St Louis, MO for 1 year so she could complete her fellowship. We're trying to figure out where to go to next when she's done.

Agreed. These types of articles read like “pop-sci” nowadays… How many more decades will it take for any sort of commercialization of this research to take place?
