Show HN: How we leapfrogged traditional vector based RAG with a 'language map'https://twitter.com/mutableai/status/1813815706783490055TL;DR: Vector-based RAG performs poorly for many real-world applications like codebase chats, and you should consider 'language maps'.Part of our mission at Mutable.ai is to make it much easier for developers to build and understand software. One of the natural ways to do this is to create a codebase chat, that answer questions about your repo and help you build features.It might seem simple to plug in your codebase into a state-of-the-art LLM, but LLMs have two limitations that make human-level assistance with code difficult:1. They currently have context windows that are too small to accommodate most codebases, let alone your entire organization's codebases.2. They need to reason immediately to answer any questions without thinking through the answer "step-by-step."We built a chat sometime a year ago based on keyword retrieval and vector embeddings. No matter how hard we tried, including training our own dedicated embedding model, we could not get the chat to get us good performance.Jul 18, 2024 6:40 PM

Launch HN: Metal (YC W23) – Embeddings as a Servicehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35341514Hey HN! We’re Taylor, James and Sergio – the founders of Metal (https://www.getmetal.io/). You can think of Metal as embeddings as a service. We help developers use embeddings without needing to build out infrastructure, storage, or tooling. Here’s a 2-minute overview: https://www.loom.com/share/39fb6df7fd73469eaf20b37248ceed0fIf you’re unfamiliar with embeddings, they are representations of real world data expressed as a vector, where the position of the vector can be compared to other vectors – thereby deriving meaning from the data. They can be used to create things like semantic search, recommender systems, clustering analysis, classification, and more.Working at companies like Datadog, Meta, and Spotify, we found it frustrating to build ML apps. Lack of tooling, infrastructure, and proper abstraction made working with ML tedious and slow. To get features out the door we’ve had to build data ingestion pipelines from scratch, manually maintain live customer datasets, build observabiMar 28, 2023 2:18 PM
