Wow I think there are details here I'm not fully understanding but this feels like a bit of a quantum leap* in terms of leveraging the strengths while avoiding the weaknesses of LLMs.

It seems like anything that provides access to the fuzzy "intelligence" in these systems while minimizing the cost to predictability and efficiency is really valuable.

I can't quite put it into words but it seems like we are gonna be moving into a more hybrid model for lots of computing tasks in the next 3 years or so and I wonder if this is a huge peek at the kind of paradigms we'll be seeing?

I feel so ignorant in such an exciting way at the moment! That tidbit about the problem solved by "token healing" is fascinating.

*I'm sure this isn't as novel to people in the AI space but I haven't seen anything like it before myself.

A lot of this is because there was and still is systemic undertooling in NLP around how to prompt and leverage the wonderful LLMs that they built.

We have to let the Stable Diffusion community guide us, as the waifu generating crowd seems to be quite good at learning how to prompt models. I wrote a snarky github gist about this - https://gist.github.com/Hellisotherpeople/45c619ee22aac6865c...
