So… don’t hold your breath. If you see someone building a UI (like this https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin/tree/main/frontend, https://github.com/stitionai/devika/tree/main/ui; just read the commit log, it’s basically just ui

Yes. If you link to the UI sections of a repo you will likely see "basically just ui" commit history.

I guess you could argue that it’s important “setup infrastructure” stuff that any project starts with… but I’m just sceptical.

Of course it's an early stage pilot, it's only been developed since the Devin hype, why should it compete in quality at this very early time?

Well I don't see why not set up the UI part first if that's what currently possible. There's no shortage of LLM frontends right now but practically all of them are very meh (if I see another overused default theme Gradio app I will stab my eyes out).

When Zuck releases Llama 3 in July or whenever we might have something to plug this into.

One reason why: they spent their launch hype on vaporware. If they had done the hard part and then launched with a default theme Gradio app around that, it would be much better for gathering excited developers.
