The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In-Ear Insights, let’s talk about the sophomore slump. Katie, you were talking about the sophomore slump in regards to generative AI. I figured we could make this into a two-part series. So first, what is the sophomore slump? Katie Robbert – 00:15 So I’m calling it the sophomore slump. Basically, what I’m seeing is a trend of a lot of companies talking about, “We tried. We started implementing AI two years ago—generative AI to be specific—and we’re stalled out.” We are at the same place we were two years ago. We’ve optimized some things. We’re using it to create content, maybe create some images, and that’s about it. Everyone fired everyone. There’s no one here. It’s like a ghost town. The machines are just whirring away in the background. And I’m calling it the sophomore slump because I’m seeing this pattern of companies, and it all seems to be—they’re all saying the same—two years ago. Katie Robbert – 01:03 And two years ago is when generative AI really hit the mainstream market in terms of its availability to the masses, to all of us, versus someone, Chris, like you, who had been using it through IBM and other machine learning systems and homegrown systems. So I bring it up because it’s interesting, because I guess there’s a lot to unpack here. AI is this magic tool that’s gonna solve your problems and do all the things and make you dinner and clean your room. I feel like there’s a lot of things wrong or a lot of things that are just not going right. A lot of companies are hitting this two-year mark, and they’re like, “What now? What happened? Am I better off? Not really.” Katie Robbert – 02:00 I’m just paying for more stuff. So Chris, are you seeing this as well? Is this your take? Christopher S. Penn – 02:07 It is. And a lot of it has to do with what psychology calls anchoring, where your understanding something is anchored to your first perceptions of it. So when ChatGPT first came out in November 2022 and became popular in January 2023, what were people using it for? “Let’s write some blog posts.” And two years later, where are we? “Let’s write some blog posts.” And the capabilities have advanced exponentially since then. One of the big things that we’ve heard from clients and I’ve seen and heard at trade shows and conferences and all this stuff: people don’t understand even what’s possible with the tools, what you can do with them. Christopher S. Penn – 02:56 And as a result, they’re still stuck in 2023 of “let’s write some blog posts.” Instead, “Hey, today, use this tool to build software. Use this tool to create video. Use this tool to make fully synthetic podcasts.” So as much as it makes me cringe, there’s this term from consulting called “the art of the possible.” And that really is still one of the major issues for people to open their minds and go, “Oh, I can do this!” This morning on LinkedIn, I was sharing from our livestream a couple weeks ago: “Hey, you can use NotebookLM to make segments of your sales playbook as training audio, as a training podcast internally so that you could help new hires onboard quickly by having a series of podcasts made from your own company’s materials.” Katie Robbert – 03:49 Do you think that when Generative AI hit the market, people jumped on it too quickly? Is that the problem? Or is it evolving so fast? Or what do you think happened that two years later, despite all the advances, companies are stalled out in what we’re calling the sophomore slump? Christopher S. Penn – 04:13 I don’t think they jumped on it too quickly. I don’t think they kept up with the changes. Again, it’s anchoring. One of the very interesting things that I’ve seen at workshops: for example, we’ve been working with SMPS—the Society for Marketing Professional Services—and they’re one of our favorite clients because we get a chance to hang out with them twice a year, every year, for two-day workshops. And I noted at the most recent one, the demographic of the audience changed radically. In the first workshop back in late 2023, it was 60-40 women to men, as mid- to senior-level folks. In this most recent was 95-5 women and much more junior-level folks. And I remember commenting to the organizers, I said, “What’s going on here?” Christopher S. Penn – 05:02 And they said what they’ve heard is that all senior-level folks are like, “Oh yeah, I know AI. We’re just going to send our junior people.” I’m like, “But what I’m presenting today in 2025 is so far different from what you learned in late 2023.” You should be here as a senior leader to see what’s possible today. Katie Robbert – 05:26 I have so many questions about that kind of mentality. “I know everything I need to know, therefore it doesn’t apply to me.” Think about non-AI-based technology, think about the rest of your tech stack: servers, cloud storage, databases. Those things aren’t static. They change and evolve. Maybe not at the pace that generative AI has been evolving, but they still change, and there’s still things to know and learn. Unless you are the person developing the software, you likely don’t know everything about it. And so I’ve always been really suspicious of people who have that “I know everything I need to know, I can’t learn any more about this, it’s just not relevant” sort of mentality. That to me is hugely concerning. Katie Robbert – 06:22 And so it sounds like what you are seeing as a pattern in addition to this sophomore slump is people saying, “I know enough. I don’t need to keep up with it. I’m good.” Christopher S. Penn – 06:34 Exactly. So their perception of generative AI and its capabilities, and therefore knowing what to ask for as leaders, is frozen in late 2023. Their understanding has not evolved. And while the technology has evolved, as a point of comparison, generative AI’s capabilities in terms of what the tools can double every six months. So a task that took an hour for AI to do six months ago now takes 30 minutes. A task that they couldn’t do six months ago, they can do now. And so since 2023, we’ve essentially had what—five doublings. That’s two to the fifth power: five doublings of its capabilities. Christopher S. Penn – 07:19 And so if you’re stuck in late 2023, of course you’re having a sophomore slump because it’s like you learned to ride a bicycle, and today there is a Bugatti Chiron in your driveway, and you’re like, “I’m going to bicycle to the store.” Well, you can do a bit more than that now. You can go a little bit faster. You can go places you couldn’t go previously. And I don’t know how to fix that. I don’t know how to get the messaging out to those senior leaders to say what you think about AI is not where the technology is today. Which means that if you care about things like ROI—what is the ROI of AI?—you are not unlocking value because you don’t even know what it can do. Katie Robbert – 08:09 Well, see, and now you’re hitting on because you just said, “I don’t know how to reach these leaders.” But yet in the same sentence, you said, “But here are the things they care about.” Those are the terms that need to be put in for people to pay attention. And I’ll give us a knock on this too. We’re not putting it in those terms. We’re not saying, “Here’s the value of the latest and greatest version of AI models,” or, “Here’s how you can save money.” We’re talking about it in terms of what the technology can do, not what it can do for you and why you should care. I was having this conversation with one of our clients this morning as they’re trying to understand what GPTs, what models their team members are using. Katie Robbert – 09:03 But they weren’t telling the team members why. They were asking why it mattered if they knew what they were using or not. And it’s the oldest thing of humankind: “Just tell me what’s in it for me? How does this make it about me? I want to see myself in this.” And that’s one of the reasons why the 5Ps is so useful. So this isn’t necessarily “use the 5Ps,” but it could be. So the 5Ps are Purpose, People, Process, Platform, Performance, when we’re the ones at the cutting edge. And we’re saying, “We know that AI can do all of these really cool things.” It’s our responsibility to help those who need the education see themselves in it. Katie Robbert – 09:52 So, Chris, one of the things that we do is, on Mondays we send out a roundup of everything that’s happened with AI. And you can get that. That’s our Substack newsletter. But what we’re not doing in that newsletter is saying, “This is why you should pay attention.” But not “here’s the value.” “If you implement this particular thing, it could save you money.” This particular thing could increase your productivity. And that’s going to be different for every client. I feel like I’m rambling and I’m struggling through my thought process here. Katie Robbert – 10:29 But really what it boils down to, AI is changing so fast that those of us on the front lines need to do a better job of explaining not just why you should care, but what the benefit is going to be, but in the terms that those individuals care about. And that’s going to look different for everyone. And I don’t know if that’s scalable. Christopher S. Penn – 10:50 I don’t think it is scalable. And I think the other issue is that so many people are locked into the past that it’s difficult to even make headway into explaining how this thing will benefit you. So to your point, part of our responsibility is to demonstrate use cases, even simple ones, to say: “Here, with today’s modern tooling, here’s a use case that you can use generative AI for.” So at the workshop yesterday that we have this PDF-rich, full of research. It’s a lot. There’s 50-some-odd pages, high-quality data. Christopher S. Penn – 11:31 But we said, “What would it look like if you put this into Google Gemini and turn it into a one-page infographic of just the things that the ideal customer profile cares about?” And suddenly the models can take that, distill it down, identify from the ideal customer profile the five things they really care about, and make a one-page infographic. And now you’ve used the tools to not just process words but make an output. And they can say, “Oh, I understand! The value of this output is: ‘I don’t have to wait three weeks for Creative to do exactly the same thing.'” We can give the first draft to Creative and get it turned around in 24 hours because they could add a little polish and fix the screw-ups of the AI. Christopher S. Penn – 12:09 But speed. The key output there is speed: high quality. But Creative is already creating high-quality. But speed was the key output there. In another example, everybody their cousin is suddenly, it’s funny, I see this on LinkedIn, “Oh, you should be using GPTs!” I’m like, “You should have been using GPTs for over a year and a half now!” What you should be doing now is looking at how to build MCPs that can go cross-platform. So it’s like a GPT, but it goes anywhere you go. So if your company uses Copilot, you will be able to use an MCP. If your company uses Gemini, you’ll be able to use this. Christopher S. Penn – 12:48 So what does it look like for your company if you’ve got a great idea to turn it into an MCP and maybe put it up for sale? Like, “Hey, more revenue!” The benefit to you is more revenue. You can take your data and your secret sauce, put it into this thing—it’s essentially an app—and sell it. More revenue. So it’s our responsibility to create these use cases and, to your point, clearly state: “Here’s the Purpose, and here’s the outcome.” Money or time or something. You could go, “Oh, I would like that!” Katie Robbert – 13:21 It occurs to me—and I feel silly that this only just occurred to me. So when we’re doing our roundup of “here’s what changed with AI week over week” to pull the data for that newsletter, we’re using our ideal customer profile. But we’re not using our ideal customer profile as deeply as we could be. So if those listening aren’t familiar, one of the things that we’ve been doing at Trust Insights is taking publicly available data, plus our own data sets—our CRM data, our Google Analytics data—and building what we’re calling these ideal customer profiles. So, a synthetic stand-in for who should be a Trust Insights customer. And it goes pretty deep. It goes into buying motivations, pain points, things that the ideal customer would care about. Katie Robbert – 14:22 And as we’re talking, it occurs to me, Chris, we’re saying, “Well, it’s not scalable to customize the news for all of these different people, but using generative AI, it might be.” It could be. So I’m not saying we have to segment off our newsletter into eight different versions depending on the audience, but perhaps there’s an opportunity to include a little bit more detail around how a specific advancement in generative AI addresses a specific pain point from our ideal customer profile. Because theoretically, it’s our ideal customers who are subscribing to our content. It’s all very—I would need to outline it in how all these things connect. Katie Robbert – 15:11 But in my brain, I can see how, again, that advanced use case of generative AI actually brings you back to the basics of “How are you solving my problem?” Christopher S. Penn – 15:22 So in an example from that, you would say, “Okay, which of the four dimensions—it could be more—but which of the four dimensions does this news impact?” Bigger, better, faster, cheaper. So which one of these does this help? And if it doesn’t align to any of those four, then maybe it’s not of use to the ICP because they can go, “Well, this doesn’t make me do things better or faster or save me money or save me time.” So maybe it’s not that relevant. And the key thing here, which a lot of folks don’t have in their current capabilities, is that scale. Christopher S. Penn – 15:56 So when we make that change to the prompt that is embedded inside this AI agent, the agent will then go and apply it to a thousand different articles at a scale that you would be copying and pasting into ChatGPT for three days to do the exact same thing. Katie Robbert – 16:12 Sounds awful. Christopher S. Penn – 16:13 And that’s where we come back to where we started with this about the sophomore slump is to say, if the people are not building processes and systems that allow the use of AI to scale, everyone is still in the web interface. “Oh, open up ChatGPT and do this thing.” That’s great. But at this point in someone’s AI evolution, ChatGPT or Gemini or Claude or whatever could be your R&D. That’s where you do your R&D to prove that your prompt will even work. But once you’ve done R&D, you can’t live in R&D. You have to take it to development, staging, and eventually production. Taking it on the line so that you have an AI newsletter. Christopher S. Penn – 16:54 The machine spits out. You’ve proven that it works through the web interface. You’ve proven it works by testing it. And now it’s, “Okay, how do we scale this in production?” And I feel like because so many people are using generative AI as language tools rather than seeing them as what they are—which is thinly disguised programming tools—they don’t think about the rest of the SDLC and say, “How do we take this and put it in production?” You’re constantly in debug mode, and you never leave it. Katie Robbert – 17:28 Let’s go back to the audience because one of the things that you mentioned is that you’ve seen a shift in the demographic to who you’ve been speaking to. So it was upper-level management executives, and now those folks feel like they know enough. Do you think part of the challenge with this sophomore slump that we’re seeing is what the executives and the upper-level management think they learned? Is it not also then getting distilled down into those junior staff members? So it’s also a communication issue, a delegation issue of: “I learned how to build a custom GPT to write blogs for me in my voice.” “So you go ahead and do the same thing,” but that’s where the conversation ends. Or, “Here’s my custom GPT. You can use my voice when I’m not around.” Katie Robbert – 18:24 But then the marketing ants are like, “Okay, but what about everything else that’s on my plate?” Do you feel like that education and knowledge transfer is part of why we’re seeing this slump? Christopher S. Penn – 18:36 Absolutely, I think that’s part of it. And again, those leaders not knowing what’s happening on the front lines of the technology itself means they don’t know what to ask for. They remember that snapshot of AI that they had in October 2023, and they go, “Oh yeah, we can use this to make more blog posts.” If you don’t know what’s on the menu, then you’re going to keep ordering the same thing, even if the menu’s changed. Back in 2023, the menu is this big. It’s “blog posts.” “Okay, I like more blog posts now.” The menu is this big. And saying: you can do your corporate strategy. You can audit financial documents. You can use Google Colab to do advanced data analysis. You can make videos and audio and all this stuff. Christopher S. Penn – 19:19 And so the menu that looks like the Cheesecake Factory. But the executive still has the mental snapshot of an index card version of the menu. And then the junior person goes to a workshop and says, “Wow! The menu looks like a Cheesecake Factory menu now!” Then they come back to the office, and they say, “Oh, I’ve got all these ideas that we can implement!” The executives are like, “No, just make more blog posts.” “That’s what’s on the menu!” So it is a communication issue. It’s a communication issue. It is a people issue. Christopher S. Penn – 19:51 Which is the problem. Katie Robbert – 19:53 Yeah. Do you think? So the other trend that I’m seeing—I’m trying to connect all these things because I’m really just trying to wrap my head around what’s happening, but also how we can be helpful—is this: I’m seeing a lot of this anti-AI. A lot of that chatter where, “Humans first.” “Humans still have to do this.” And AI is not going to replace us because obviously the conversation for a while is, “Will this technology take my job?” And for some companies like Duolingo, they made that a reality, and now it’s backfiring on them. But for other people, they’re like, “I will never use AI.” They’re taking that hard stance to say, “This is just not what I’m going to do.” Christopher S. Penn – 20:53 It is very black and white. And here’s the danger of that from a strategy perspective. People have expectations based on the standard. So in 1998, people like, “Oh, this Internet thing’s a fad!” But the customer expectations started to change. “Oh, I can order any book I want online!” I don’t have to try to get it out of the borders of Barnes and Noble. I can just go to this place called Amazon. Christopher S. Penn – 21:24 In 2007, we got these things, and suddenly it’s, “Oh, I can have the internet wherever I go.” By the so-called mobile commerce revolution—which did happen—you got to swipe right and get food and a coffee, or have a car show up at your house, or have a date show up at your house, or whatever. And the expectation is this thing is the remote control for my life. And so every brand that did not have an app on this device got left behind because people are like, “Well, why would I use you when I have this thing? I can get whatever I want.” Now AI is another twist on this to say: we are setting an expectation. Christopher S. Penn – 22:04 The expectation is you can get a blog post written in 15 minutes by ChatGPT. That’s the expectation that has been set by the technology, whether it’s any good or not. We’ll put that aside because people will always choose convenience over quality. Which means if you are that person who’s like, “I am anti-AI. Human first. Human always. These machines are terrible,” great, you still have to produce a blog post in 15 minutes because that is the expectation set by the market. And you’re like, “No, quality takes time!” Quality is secondary to speed and convenience in what the marketplace will choose. So you can be human first, but you better be as good as a machine and as a very difficult standard to meet. Christopher S. Penn – 22:42 And so to your point about the sophomore slump, those companies that are not seeing those benefits—because they have people who are taking a point of view that they are absolutely entitled to—are not recognizing that their competitors using AI are setting a standard that they may not be able to meet anymore. Katie Robbert – 23:03 And I feel like that’s also contributing to that. The sophomore slump is in some ways—maybe it’s not something that’s present in the conscious mind—but maybe subconsciously people are feeling defeated, and they’re like, “Well, I can’t compete with my competitors, so I’m not even going to bother.” So let me twist it so that it sounds like it’s my idea to not be using AI, and I’m going to set myself apart by saying, “Well, we’re not going to use it.” We’re going to do it the old-fashioned way. Which, I remember a few years ago, Chris, we were talking about how there’s room at the table both for the Amazons and the Etsy crowds. Katie Robbert – 23:47 And so there’s the Amazon—the fast delivery, expedited, lower cost—whereas Etsy is the handmade, artisanal, bespoke, all of those things. And it might cost a little bit more, but it’s unique and crafted. And so do you think that analogy still holds true? Is there still room at the table for the “it’s going to take longer, but it’s my original thinking” blog post that might take a few days versus the “I can spin up thousands of blog posts in the few days that it’s going to take you to build the one”? Christopher S. Penn – 24:27 It depends on performance. The fifth P. If your company measures performance by things like profit margins and speed to market, there isn’t room at the table for the Etsy style. If your company measures other objectives—like maybe customer satisfaction, and values-based selling is part of how you make your money—companies say, “I choose you because I know you are sustainable. I choose you because I know you’re ethical.” Then yes, there is room at the table for that. So it comes down to basic marketing strategy, business strategy of what is it that the value that we’re selling is—is the audience willing to provide it? Which I think is a great segue into next week’s episode, which is how do you get out of the sophomore slump? So we’re going to tackle that next week’s episode. Christopher S.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about AI readiness. We launched on Tuesday our new AI Readiness Kit. And so, Katie, just to start off, what’s in for the people who didn’t read all the emails? What’s in the thing, and why are people supposed to look into this? Katie Robbert – 00:16 So I’m really proud of this new piece that we put together because we talk a lot about the different frameworks. We talk about Five Ps, we talk about Six Cs, we talk about STEM, we talk about how do you measure ROI? And we talk about them all in different contexts. So we took the opportunity to— Speaker 3 – 00:42 Put them all together into one place. Katie Robbert – 00:44 In a hopefully coherent flow. To say, if you’re trying to get yourself together, if you’re trying to integrate AI, or if you already have and you’re struggling to really make it stick, use this AI Ready Marketing Strategy Kit. So you can get that at TrustInsights.AI/kit. It’s really the best of the best. It’s all of our frameworks. But it’s not just, “Here’s a framework, good luck.” Speaker 3 – 01:18 There’s context around how to use it. Katie Robbert – 01:20 There’s checklists, there’s calculations, there’s explanations, there’s expectations—it’s basically the best alternative to having me and Chris sitting next to you when we can’t sit next to you to say, “You should think about doing this.” Speaker 3 – 01:41 You should probably think about this. Katie Robbert – 01:43 Here’s how you would approach this. So it’s sort of an— Speaker 3 – 01:46 Extension of me and Chris sitting with you to walk you through these things. Christopher S. Penn – 01:52 One of the questions that people have the most, especially as they start doing AI pilots and stuff, is what’s the ROI of our AI initiatives? There’s not been a lot of great answers for that question because people didn’t bother measuring their ROI before starting their AI stuff. So there’s nothing to compare it to. How do we help people with the kit figure out how to answer that question in a way that won’t get them fired, but also won’t involve lying? Katie Robbert – 02:32 It starts with doing your homework. So the unsatisfying answer for people is that you have to collect information, you have to do some requirements gathering, and this is how this particular kit, for lack of a better— Speaker 3 – 02:50 Term, it’s basically your toolbox of things, but it tells you how all the tools work together in concert. Katie Robbert – 02:55 So in order to do a basic ROI calculation, you want to have your data for TRIPS. You want to have your goal alignment through STEM. You want to have done the Five Ps. Using all of that information will then help you in a more efficient and expedient way to walk through an ROI calculation, and we give you the numbers that you should be looking at to do the calculation. You have to fill in the blanks. Speaker 3 – 03:22 Obviously we can’t do that for you. Katie Robbert – 03:24 That’s where our involvement ends. Speaker 3 – 03:28 From this kit. Katie Robbert – 03:29 But if you do all of those things, TRIPS is not a cumbersome process. Speaker 3 – 03:35 It’s really straightforward. The Five Ps, you can literally just— Katie Robbert – 03:39 Talk through it and write a couple of things down. STEM might be the more complicated thing because it includes thinking about what your goal as the business is. That might be one of the harder— Speaker 3 – 03:53 Pieces to put together. Katie Robbert – 03:55 But once you have that, you can calculate. So what we have in the kit is a basic AI calculation template which you can put into Excel. You could probably even spin up something in Google Colab or your generative AI of choice just to help you put together a template to walk through. Speaker 3 – 04:14 Let me input some numbers and then— Katie Robbert – 04:16 Tell me what I’m looking at. Speaker 3 – 04:18 So we’re looking at value of recovered— Katie Robbert – 04:20 Time, project AI enhanced process metric, implementation costs. All big fancy words for what did— Speaker 3 – 04:28 We spend and what did we get. Christopher S. Penn – 04:31 Yeah, ROI is one of those things that people overcomplicate. It’s what did you spend, what did you make, and then earn minus spent divided by spent. The hard part for a lot of people—one of the reasons why you have to use things like TRIPS—is there are four dimensions you can optimize the business on: bigger, better, faster, cheaper. That’s the short version, obviously. If AI can help you go faster, that’s a time savings. And then you have whatever your hourly, effective hourly rate is, if you spend an hour less doing stuff, then that’s essentially a time save, which turns into an opportunity cost, your money savings. Christopher S. Penn – 05:09 There’s the cheaper side, which is, if we don’t have to pay a person to do this, and a machine can do this, then we don’t pay that contractor or whatever for that thing. But the other side of the coin, the bigger and the better, is harder to measure. How do we help people understand the bigger, better side of it? Because that’s more on the revenue side. The faster, cheaper is on the expense side, let’s make things. But there’s a popular expression in finance: you can’t cut your way to growth. Christopher S. Penn – 05:37 So how do we get to people understanding the bigger, better side of things, how AI can make you more money? Katie Robbert – 05:48 That’s where the 5P framework comes in. So the 5Ps, if— Speaker 3 – 05:54 You’re unfamiliar, are purpose, people, process, platform, performance. Katie Robbert – 05:57 If you’ve been following us for even a hot second, you’ve had this— Speaker 3 – 06:01 Drilled into your brain. Katie Robbert – 06:03 Purpose. What is the question we’re trying to answer? What is the problem we’re trying to solve? Speaker 3 – 06:07 People: who’s involved internally and externally? Process— Speaker 4 – 06:09 How are we doing this in a— Speaker 3 – 06:11 Repeatable and scalable way? Platform: what tools are we using? And performance: did we answer the question? Did we solve the problem? Katie Robbert – 06:20 When you are introducing any new tech, anything new into your organization, AI or— Speaker 3 – 06:26 Otherwise, even if you’re introducing a whole new discipline, a new team, or if— Katie Robbert – 06:31 You’re introducing a new process to get you to scale better, you want to use the 5Ps because it touches upon—it’s a 360-degree checkpoint for everything. So how do you know that you did the thing? How do you know, other than looking at the numbers? So if I have a— Speaker 3 – 06:52 Dollar revenue today and 2 dollars revenue tomorrow. Katie Robbert – 06:55 Okay, great, I did something. But you have to figure out what it is that I did so that I can do more of it. And that’s where this toolkit, especially the Five Ps and TRIPS, is really going to— Speaker 3 – 07:08 Help you understand. Katie Robbert – 07:10 Here’s what I did, here’s what worked. It sounds really simple, Chris, because I mean, think about when we were working at the agency and we had a client that would spend six figures a month in ad spend. Now, myself and the analyst who was running point were very detail-oriented, very OCD, to make sure we knew exactly what was happening so that when things— Speaker 3 – 07:41 Worked, we could point to, “This is what’s working.” Katie Robbert – 07:44 The majority of people, that much data, that— Speaker 3 – 07:48 Much ad spend is really hard to keep track of. Katie Robbert – 07:52 So when something’s working, you’re, “Let’s just throw more money at it.” We’ve had clients who that’s— Speaker 3 – 07:59 Their solution to pretty much any problem. “Our numbers are down, let’s throw more—” Katie Robbert – 08:02 Money at it in order to do it correctly, in order to do it in a scalable way. So you can say, “This is what worked.” It’s not enough to do the ROI— Speaker 3 – 08:14 Calculation on its own. Katie Robbert – 08:16 You need to be doing your due— Speaker 3 – 08:17 Diligence and capturing the Five Ps in— Katie Robbert – 08:19 Order to understand, “This is what worked.” This is the part, this is this— Speaker 3 – 08:24 Teeny tiny part of the process is— Katie Robbert – 08:26 What we tweaked, and this is what— Speaker 3 – 08:28 Made the biggest difference. Katie Robbert – 08:29 If you’re not doing that work, then don’t bother doing the ROI calculation because you’re never going to know what’s getting you new numbers. Christopher S. Penn – 08:38 The other thing I think is important to remember there, and you need the Five Ps. So, you need user stories for this to some degree. If you want to talk about growth, you have to almost look like a BCG Growth Matrix where you have the amount of revenue something brings in and the amount of growth or market share that exists for that. So you have your stars—high growth, high market share. That is your thing. You have your cash cows—low growth, but boy, have you got the market share! You’re just making money. You’ve got your dogs, which is the low growth, low revenue. And then you have your high growth, low revenue, which is the question marks. And that is, there might be a there, but we’re not sure. Christopher S. Penn – 09:24 If you don’t use the AI Readiness Toolkit, you don’t have time or resources to create the question marks that could become the stars. If you’re just trying to put out fires constantly—if you’re in reactive mode constantly—you never see the question marks. You never get a chance to address the question marks. And that’s where I feel a lot of people with AI are stuck. They’re not getting the faster, cheaper part down, so they can’t ever invest in the things that will lead to bigger, better. Katie Robbert – 10:01 I agree with that. Speaker 3 – 10:03 And the other piece that we haven’t— Katie Robbert – 10:05 Talked about that’s in here in the AI Ready Marketing Strategy Kit is the— Speaker 3 – 10:10 Six Cs, the Six Cs of data quality. Katie Robbert – 10:15 And if you’re listening to us, you’re probably, “Five Ps, Six Cs!” Oh my God! This is all very jargony, and it is. But I will throw down against anyone who says that it’s just jargon because we’ve worked really hard to make sure that, yes, while marketers love their alliteration because it’s easy to remember, there’s actual substance. So the Six Cs, I actually later this week, as we’re recording this podcast, I’m doing a session with the Marketing AI Institute on using the Six Cs to do a data quality audit. Because as any marketer knows, garbage in, garbage out. So if you don’t have good quality data, especially as you’re trying to determine your AI strategy, why the heck are you doing it at all? Speaker 3 – 11:09 And so using the Six Cs to— Katie Robbert – 11:11 Look at your financial data, to look at your marketing channel data, to look— Speaker 3 – 11:17 At your acquisition data, to look at— Katie Robbert – 11:18 Your conversion data, to understand: do I have good quality data to make decisions? Speaker 3 – 11:25 To put it into the matrix that Chris was just talking about. Katie Robbert – 11:30 We walk through all of those pieces. I’m just looking at it now, and being so close to it, it’s nice to take a step back. I’m, “Oh, that’s a really nice strategic alignment template!” Speaker 3 – 11:41 “Hey, look at all of those things that I walk you through in order—” Katie Robbert – 11:44 To figure out, “Is this aligned?” And it sounds like I’m doing some sort of pitch. I’m genuinely, “Oh, wow, I forgot I did that. That’s really great.” That’s incredibly helpful in order to get all of that data. So we go through TRIPS, we go through the strategic alignment, then we give you the ROI calculator, and then we give you an assessment to see: okay, all that said, what’s your AI readiness score? Do you have what you need to not only integrate AI, but keep it and make it work and make it— Speaker 3 – 12:20 Profitable and bring in more revenue and— Katie Robbert – 12:22 Find those question marks and do more innovation? Christopher S. Penn – 12:26 So someone goes through the kit and they end up with an AI ready score of 2. What do they do? Katie Robbert – 12:36 It really depends on where. So one of the things that we have in here is we actually have some instructions. So, “Scores below 3 in any category indicate more focused attention before proceeding with implementation.” Speaker 3 – 12:54 And so, implementation guidance: “Conduct the assessment with a diverse group of stakeholders and so on and so forth.” Katie Robbert – 12:59 It’s basic instructions, but because you’re doing it in a thoughtful, organized way, you can see where your weak spots are. Think of it almost as a SWOT— Speaker 3 – 13:11 Analysis for your internal organization. And where are your opportunities? Katie Robbert – 13:15 Where are your threats? But it’s all based on your own data. Speaker 3 – 13:19 So you’re not looking at your competitors right now. Katie Robbert – 13:20 You’re still focused on if our weak spot is our team’s AI literacy— Speaker 3 – 13:26 Let’s start there, let’s get some education. Katie Robbert – 13:28 Let’s figure out our next steps. If our weak spot is the platforms themselves, then let’s look at what— Speaker 3 – 13:36 It is we’re trying to do with our goals and figure out what platforms— Katie Robbert – 13:40 Can do those things, those feature. What has that feature set? If our lowest score is in process, let’s just go ahead, take a— Speaker 3 – 13:50 Step back and say, “How are we doing this?” Katie Robbert – 13:52 If the answer is, “Well, we’re all just making it happen and we don’t have it written down,” that’s a great opportunity because AI is really rock solid at those repeatable things. So the more detailed and in-the-weeds your process documentation is, the better AI is going to be at making those things automated. Christopher S. Penn – 14:17 So you mean I can’t just, I don’t know, give everyone a ChatGPT license, call it a day, and say, “Yes, now we’re an AI-forward company”? Katie Robbert – 14:24 I mean, you can, and I’ll give you a thumbs up and say, “Good luck.” Christopher S. Penn – 14:31 But that’s for a lot of people, that’s what they think AI readiness means. Katie Robbert – 14:36 And AI readiness is as much of— Speaker 3 – 14:41 A mental readiness as it is a— Katie Robbert – 14:44 Physical readiness. So think about people who do big sporting events like marathons and triathlons and any kind of a competition. They always talk about not just their— Speaker 3 – 14:57 Physical training, but their mental training. Katie Robbert – 15:00 Because come the day of whatever the competition is, their body has the muscle memory already. It’s more of a mental game at that point. So walking through the— Speaker 3 – 15:12 5Ps, talking through the people, figuring out— Katie Robbert – 15:15 The AI literacy, talking about the fears and are people even— Speaker 3 – 15:19 Willing to do this? That’s your mental readiness. Katie Robbert – 15:23 And if you’re skipping over doing that assessment to figure out where your team’s heads are at, or do— Speaker 3 – 15:30 They even want to do this? Forcing it on them, which we’ve seen. Katie Robbert – 15:34 We actually, I think our podcast and— Speaker 3 – 15:38 Newsletters last week or the week before. Katie Robbert – 15:40 Were talking about the Duolingo disaster where the CEO was saying, “AI is replacing,” “you have to live with it.” But then there was a lot of other people in leadership positions who were basically talking down to people, creating fear around their jobs, flat out firing people, saying, “Technology is going to do this for you.” That’s not the mental game you want to play. If you want to play that game, this is probably the wrong place for you. But if you need to assess if my team is even open to doing this—because if not, all of this is for nothing. So this is a good checkpoint to say, “Are they even interested in doing this?” Speaker 3 – 16:25 And then your own self-assessment, you— Katie Robbert – 16:27 May find that there are your own set of blind spots that AI is not going to fix for you. Christopher S. Penn – 16:38 Or it might. So as a very tactical example, I hate doing documentation. I really do. It’s not my favorite thing in the world, but I also recognize the vital importance of it as part of the process. So that when I hand off a software deliverable to a client, they know what it does and they can self-serve. But that was an area where clearly, if you ask for it, you can say to AI, “Help me write the documentation from this code base, help me document the code itself, and things.” So there are opportunities even there to say, “Hey, here’s the thing you don’t like doing, and the machine can do it for you.” One of the questions that a lot of folks in leadership positions have that is challenging to answer is how quickly can we get ready for AI? Christopher S. Penn – 17:28 Because they say, “We’re falling behind, Katie, we’re behind. We’re falling behind. We need to catch up, we need to become a leader in this space.” How does someone use the AI Readiness Toolkit? And then what kind of answer can you give that leader to say, “Okay, here’s generally how quickly you can get caught up?” Katie Robbert – 17:48 I mean, that’s such a big question. Speaker 3 – 17:50 There’s so many dependencies. Katie Robbert – 17:53 But good news is that in the AI Ready Marketing Strategy Kit, we do include a template to chart your AI course. Speaker 3 – 18:03 We give you a roadmap template based— Katie Robbert – 18:06 On all of the data that you’ve collected. You’ve done the assessment, you’ve done the homework. So now these are my weak spots. This is what I’m going to work on. This is what I want to do with it. Next, we actually give you the— Speaker 3 – 18:20 Template to walk through to set up that plan. Katie Robbert – 18:22 And what I tell people is your ability to catch up, quote, unquote, is really dependent on you and your team. Technology can do the work; the process can be documented. It’s the people that are going to determine whether or not you can do this quickly. I’ve heard from some of our clients, “We need to move—” Speaker 3 – 18:51 Faster, we need to move faster. Katie Robbert – 18:52 And so then when I ask, “What’s—” Speaker 3 – 18:54 Preventing you, because you clearly, you’re already there, what’s preventing you from moving faster? Katie Robbert – 18:59 And they often say, “Well, the team.” That is always going to be a sticking point. And that is where you have to spend a lot of your time, making— Speaker 3 – 19:08 Sure that they’re educated, making sure they— Katie Robbert – 19:09 Have the resources they need, making sure— Speaker 3 – 19:12 You, as a leader, are setting clear expectations. Katie Robbert – 19:14 And all of that goes into your roadmap. And so right now, you can make it as granular as you want. It’s broken out by quarters. We go through focus areas, specific AI initiatives. Speaker 3 – 19:25 You can pull that from TRIPS. You have your Five Ps, you have your time and budget, which you pull from your ROI calculation. You have your dependencies, things— Katie Robbert – 19:34 That may prevent because maybe you haven’t chosen the right tool yet. Oh, and by the way, we give— Speaker 3 – 19:37 You a whole template for how to— Katie Robbert – 19:39 Work with vendors on how to choose the right tool. There are a lot of things that can make it go faster or make it go slower. And it really depends on—I personally— Speaker 3 – 19:52 My answer is always the people. Katie Robbert – 19:54 How many people are involved and what is their readiness? Speaker 3 – 19:57 What is their willingness to do this? Christopher S. Penn – 20:01 Does the kit help? If I am an entrepreneur, I’m a single person, I’ve got a new idea, I’ve got a new company I want to start. It’s going to be an AI company. Katie, do I need this, or can I just go ahead and make an AI company and say, “I have an AI company now”? Because we’ve seen a lot of people, “Oh, I’m now running my own AI company. I’m a company of one.” There’s nothing wrong with that. But how would the kit help me make my AI company better? Katie Robbert – 20:32 I think specifically the part that would help any solopreneur—and I do highly recommend individuals as well as large companies taking a look at this AI Strategy Kit. I think if I’m an individual, the thing that I’m going to focus on specifically is the 5P Integration Checklist. So what we’ve done is we’ve built out a very long checklist for— Speaker 3 – 20:56 Each of the Ps, so that you can say, “Do I have this information?” Katie Robbert – 21:02 Do I need to go get this information? Speaker 3 – 21:04 Do I need to create this thing— Katie Robbert – 21:06 Or is this not applicable to me? So you can take all of those questions for each of the Five Ps and go, “I’m good. I’m ready.” Speaker 3 – 21:16 Now I can go ahead and move— Katie Robbert – 21:17 Forward with my ROI calculation, with TRIPS, with the Six Cs, whatever it is—my roadmap, my vendor selection. Speaker 3 – 21:27 If you take nothing else away from— Katie Robbert – 21:29 This toolkit, the 5P Integration Checklist is going to be something that you want to return to over and over again. Because the way that we design the 5Ps is that it can either be very quick for an individual, or it can be very big and in-depth for a very large-scale, enterprise-size company. And it really is flexible in that way. So not all of the things may apply to you, but I would guarantee that most of them do. Christopher S. Penn – 21:55 So, last question and the toughest question. How much does this thing cost? Because it sounds expensive. Katie Robbert – 22:01 Oh my gosh, it’s free. Christopher S. Penn – 22:03 Why are we giving it away for free? It sounds like it’s worth 50 grand. Katie Robbert – 22:07 If we do the implementation of all of this, it probably would be, but what I wanted to do was really give people the tools to self-serve. So this is all of our—Chris, you and— Speaker 3 – 22:22 I—this is our combined expertise. This is all of the things that— Katie Robbert – 22:26 We know and we live and breathe every day. There’s this misunderstanding that, Chris, you just push the buttons and build things. But what people don’t see is all of this, all of the background that goes into actually being able to grow and scale and learn all of the new technology. And in this kit is all of that. That’s what we put here. So, yes, we’re going to ask you for your contact information. Yes, we might reach out and say, “Hey, how did you like it?” But it’s free. It is 26 pages of free information for you, put together by us, our brains.

Building a basic AI agent using OpenAI's platform involves several key steps. First, developers need to clearly define the agent's objective and select an appropriate OpenAI model (such as GPT-4o, o3-mini, or GPT-4.1) based on the complexity of the task and desired latency. After setting up the development environment with an OpenAI API key, clear instructional prompts are crafted to define the agent's behavior, role, and response style. For more advanced functionalities, agents can be equipped with tools like web search, file search, or the ability to call external functions (APIs). Frameworks like OpenAI's Agents SDK or libraries such as LangChain can then be used for orchestrating multi-step tasks, managing memory, and integrating the agent with other applications, followed by thorough testing and iteration.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, I have a bone to pick with a lot of people in marketing around AI and AI tools. And my bone to pick is this, Katie. There isn’t a day that goes by either in Slack or mostly on LinkedIn when some person is saying, “Oh, we need a no code tool for this.” “How do I use AI in a no code tool to evaluate real estate proposals?” And the thing is, when I read what they’re trying to do, they seem to have this idea that no code equals no work. That it’s somehow magically just going to do the thing. And I can understand the past tense aversion to coding because it’s a very difficult thing to do. Christopher S. Penn – 00:49 But in today’s world with generative AI, coding is as straightforward as not coding in terms of the ability to make stuff. Because generative AI can do both, and they both have very strong prerequisites, which is you gotta think things through. It’s not no work. Neither case is it no work. Have you seen this also on the various places we hang out? Katie Robbert – 01:15 Well, first, welcome to the club. How well do your ranty pants fit? Because that’s what you are wearing today. Maybe you’re in the ranty shirt club. I don’t know. It’s… I think we were talking about this last week because I was asking—and I wasn’t asking from a ‘I don’t want to do the work’ standpoint, but I was asking from a ‘I’m not a coder, I don’t want to deal with code, but I’m willing to do the work’ standpoint. And you showed me a system like Google Colab that you can go into, you can tell it what you want to do, and you can watch it build the code. It can either keep it within the system or you can copy the code and put it elsewhere. And that’s true of pretty much any generative AI system. Katie Robbert – 02:04 You can say, “I want you to build code for me to be able to do X.” Now, the reason, at least from my standpoint, why people don’t want to do the code is because they don’t know what the code says or what it’s supposed to do. Therefore, they’re like, “Let me just avoid that altogether because I don’t know if it’s going to be right.” The stuff that they’re missing—and this is something that I said on the Doodle webinar that I did with Andy Crestodina: we forget that AI is there to do the work for us. So let the AI not only build the code, but check the code, make sure the code works, and build the requirements for the code. Say, “I want to do this thing.” “What do you, the machine, need to know about building the code?” Katie Robbert – 02:53 So you’re doing the work to build the code, but you’re not actually coding. And so I think—listen, we’re humans, we’re lazy. We want things that are plug and play. I just want to press the go button, the easy button, the old Staples button. I want to press the easy button and make it happen. I don’t want to have to think about coding or configuration or setup or anything. I just want to make it work. I just want to push the button on the blender and have a smoothie. I don’t want to think about the ingredients that go into it. I don’t want to even find a cup. I’m going to drink it straight from the blender. Katie Robbert – 03:28 I think, at least the way that I interpret it, when people say they want the no code version, they’re hoping for that kind of easy path of least resistance. But no code doesn’t mean no work. Christopher S. Penn – 03:44 Yeah. And my worry and concern is that things like the software development lifecycle exist for a reason. And the reason is so that things aren’t a flaming, huge mess. I did see one pundit quip on Threads not too long ago that generative AI may as well be called the Tactical Debt Generator because you have a bunch of people making stuff that they don’t know how to maintain and that they don’t understand. For example, when you are using it to write code, as we’ve talked about in the past, very few people ever think, “Is my code secure?” And as a result, there are a number of threads and tweets and stuff saying, “One day I coded this app in one afternoon.” Christopher S. Penn – 04:26 And then, two days later, “Hey guys, why are all these people breaking into my app?” Katie Robbert – 04:33 It’s— No, it’s true. Yeah, they don’t. It’s a very short-sighted way of approaching it. I mean, think about even all the custom models that we’ve built for various reasons. Katie GPT—when was the last time her system instructions were updated? Even Katie Artifact that I use in Claude all the time—when was the last time her… Just because I use it all the time doesn’t mean that she’s up to date. She’s a little bit outdated. And she’s tired, and she needs a vacation, and she needs a refresh. It’s software. These custom models that you’re building are software. Even if there’s no, quote unquote, “code” that you can see that you have built, there is code behind it that the systems are using that you need to maintain and figure out. Katie Robbert – 05:23 “How do I get this to work long term?” Not just “It solves my problem today, and when I use it tomorrow, it’s not doing what I need it to do.” Christopher S. Penn – 05:33 Yep. The other thing that I see people doing so wrong with generative AI—code, no code, whatever—is they don’t think to ask it thinking questions. I saw this—I was commenting on one of Marcus Sheridan’s posts earlier today—and I said that we live in an environment where if you want to be really good at generative AI, be a good manager. Provide your employee—the AI—with all the materials that it needs to be set up for success. Documentation, background information, a process, your expected outcomes, your timelines, your deliverables, all that stuff. If you give that to an employee with good delegation, the employee will succeed. If you say, “Employee, go do the thing.” And then you walk off to the coffee maker like I did in your job interview 10 years ago. Katie Robbert – 06:26 If you haven’t heard it, we’ll get back to it at some point. Christopher S. Penn – 06:30 That’s not gonna set you up for success. When I say thinking questions, here’s a prompt that anybody can use for pretty much anything that will dramatically improve your generative AI outputs. Once you’ve positioned a problem like, “Hey, I need to make something that does this,” or “I need to fix this thing,” or “Why is this leaking?”… You would say, “Think through 5 to 7 plausible solutions for this problem.” “Rank them in order of practicality or flexibility or robustness, and then narrow down your solution.” “Set to one or two solutions, and then ask me to choose one”—which is a much better process than saying, “What’s the answer?” Or “Fix my problem.” Because we want these machines to think. And if you’re saying—when people equate no code with no think and no work— Yes, to your point. Christopher S. Penn – 07:28 Exactly what you said on the Doodle webinar. “Make the machine do the work.” But you have to think through, “How do I get it to think about the work?” Katie Robbert – 07:38 One of the examples that we were going through on that same webinar that we did—myself and Andy Crestodina—is he was giving very basic prompts to create personas. And unsurprisingly… And he acknowledged this; he was getting generic persona metrics back. And we talked through—it’s good enough to get you started, but if you’re using these very basic prompts to get personas to stand in as your audience, your content marketing is also going to be fairly basic. And so, went more in depth: “Give me strong opinions on mediocre things,” which actually turned out really funny. Katie Robbert – 08:25 But what I liked about it was, sort of to your point, Chris, of the thinking questions, it gave a different set of responses that you could then go, “Huh, this is actually something that I could build my content marketing plan around for my audience.” This is a more interesting and engaging and slightly weird way of looking at it. But unless you do that thinking and unless you get creative with how you’re actually using these tools, you don’t have to code. But you can’t just say, “I work in the marketing industry. Who is my audience?” “And tell me five things that I should write about.” It’s going to be really bland; it’s going to be very vanilla. Which vanilla has its place in time, but it’s not in content marketing. Christopher S. Penn – 09:10 That’s true. Vanilla Ice, on the other hand. Katie Robbert – 09:14 Don’t get me started. Christopher S. Penn – 09:15 Collaborate and listen. Katie Robbert – 09:17 Words to live by. Christopher S. Penn – 09:20 Exactly. And I think that’s a really good way of approaching this. And it almost makes me think that there’s a lot of people who are saying, somewhat accurately, that AI is going to remove our critical thinking skills. We’re just going to stop thinking entirely. And I can see some people, to your point, taking the easy way out all the time, becoming… We talked about in last week’s podcast becoming codependent on generative AI. But I feel like the best thinkers will move their thinking one level up, which is saying, “Okay, how can I think about a better prompt or a better system or a better automation or a better workflow?” So they will still be thinking. You will still be thinking. You will just not be thinking about the low-level task, but you still have to think. Christopher S. Penn – 10:11 Whereas if you’re saying, “How can I get a no-code easy button for this thing?”… You’re not thinking. Katie Robbert – 10:18 I think—to overuse the word think— I think that’s where we’re going to start to see the innovation bell curve. We’re going to start to see people get over that curve of, “All right, I don’t want to code, that’s fine.” But can you think? But if you don’t want to code or think, you’re going to be stuck squarely at the bottom of the hill of that innovation curve. Because if you don’t want to code, it’s fine. I don’t want to code, I want nothing to do with it. That means that I have made my choice and I have to think. I have to get more creative and think more deeply about how I’m prompting, what kind of questions I’m asking, what kind of questions I want it to ask me versus I can build some code. Christopher S. Penn – 11:10 Exactly. And you’ve been experimenting with tools like N8N, for example, as automations for AI. So for that average person who is maybe okay thinking but not okay coding, how do they get started? And I’m going to guess that this is probably the answer. Katie Robbert – 11:28 It is exactly the answer. The 5Ps is a great place to start. The reason why is because it helps you organize your thoughts and find out where the gaps are in terms of the information that you do or don’t have. So in this instance, let’s say I don’t want to create code to do my content marketing, but I do want to come up with some interesting ideas. And me putting in the prompt “Come up with interesting ideas” isn’t good enough because I’m getting bland, vanilla things back. So first and foremost, what is the problem I am trying to solve? The problem I am trying to solve is not necessarily “I need new content ideas.” That is the medicine, if you will. The actual diagnosis is I need more audience, I need more awareness. Katie Robbert – 12:28 I need to solve the problem that nobody’s reading my content. So therefore, I either have the wrong audience or I have the wrong content strategy, or both. So it’s not “I need more interesting content.” That’s the solution. That’s the prescription that you get; the diagnosis is where you want to start with the Purpose. And that’s going to help you get to a better set of thinking when you get to the point of using the Platform—which is generative AI, your SEO tools, your market research, yada yada. So Purpose is “I need to get more audience, I need to get more awareness.” That is my goal. That is the problem I am trying to solve. People: I need to examine, do I have the right audience? Am I missing parts of my audience? Have I completely gone off the deep end? Katie Robbert – 13:17 And I’m trying to get everybody, and really that’s unrealistic. So that’s part of it. The Process. Well, I have to look at my market research. I have to look at my customer—my existing customer base—but also who’s engaging with me on social media, who’s subscribing to my email newsletters, and so on and so forth. So this is more than just “Give me interesting topics for my content marketing.” We’re really digging into what’s actually happening. And this is where that thinking comes into play—that critical thinking of, “Wow, if I really examine all of these things, put all of this information into generative AI, I’m likely going to get something much more compelling and on the nose.” Christopher S. Penn – 14:00 And again, it goes back to that thinking: If you know five people in your audience, you can turn on a screen recording, you can scroll through LinkedIn or the social network of your choice—even if they don’t allow data export—you just record your screen and scroll (not too fast) and then hand that to generative AI. Say, “Here’s a recording of the things that my top five people are talking about.” “What are they not thinking about that I could provide content on based on all the discussions?” So you go onto LinkedIn today, you scroll, you scroll, maybe you do 10 or 15 pages, have a machine tally up the different topics. I bet you it’s 82% AI, and you can say, “Well, what’s missing?” And that is the part that AI is exceptionally good at. Christopher S. Penn – 14:53 You and I, as humans, we are focused creatures. Our literal biology is based on focus. Machines are the opposite. Machines can’t focus. They see everything equally. We found this out a long time ago when scientists built a classifier to try to classify images of wolves versus dogs. It worked great in the lab. It did not work at all in production. And when they went back to try and figure out why, they determined that the machine was classifying on whether there was snow in the photo or not. Because all the wolf photos had snow. The machines did not understand focus. They just classified everything. So, which is a superpower we can use to say, “What did I forget?” “What isn’t in here?” “What’s missing?” You and I have a hard time that we can’t say, “I don’t know what’s missing”—it’s missing. Christopher S. Penn – 15:42 Whereas the machine could go, knowing the domain overall, “This is what your audience isn’t paying attention to.” But that’s not no thinking; that’s not no work. That’s a lot of work actually to put that together. But boy, will it give you better results. Katie Robbert – 15:57 Yeah. And so, gone are the days of being able to get by with… “Today you are a marketing analyst.” “You are going to look at my GA4 data, you are going to tell me what it says.” Yes, you can use that prompt, but you’re not going to get very far. You’re going to get the mediocre results based on that mediocre prompt. Now, if you’re just starting out, if today is Day 1, that prompt is fantastic because you are going to learn a lot very quickly. If today is Day 100 and you are still using that prompt, then you are not thinking. And what I mean by that is you are just complacent in getting those mediocre results back. That’s not a job for AI. Katie Robbert – 16:42 You don’t need AI to be doing whatever it is you’re doing with that basic prompt 100 days in. But if it’s Day 1, it’s great. You’re going to learn a lot. Christopher S. Penn – 16:52 I’m curious, what does the Day 100 prompt look like? Katie Robbert – 16:57 The Day 100 prompt could start with… “Today you are a marketing analyst.” “You are going to do the following thing.” It can start there; it doesn’t end there. So, let’s say you put that prompt in, let’s say it gives you back results, and you say, “Great, that’s not good enough.” “What am I missing?” “How about this?” “Here’s some additional information.” “Here’s some context.” “I forgot to give you this.” “I’m thinking about this.” “How do I get here?” And you just—it goes forward. So you can start there. It’s a good way to anchor, to ground yourself. But then it has to go beyond that. Christopher S. Penn – 17:36 Exactly. And we have a framework for that. Huge surprise. If you go to TrustInsights.ai/rappel, to Katie’s point: the role, the action (which is the overview), then you prime it. You should—you can and should—have a piece of text laying around of how you think, in this example, about analytics. Because, for example, experienced GA4 practitioners know that direct traffic—except for major brands—very rarely is people just typing in your web view address. Most often it’s because you forgot tracking code somewhere. And so knowing that information, providing that information helps the prompt. Of course, the evaluation—which is what Katie’s talking about—the conversation. Christopher S. Penn – 18:17 And then at the very end, the wrap-up where you say, “Based on everything that we’ve done today, come up with some system instructions that encapsulate the richness of our conversation and the final methodology that we got to the answers we actually wanted.” And then that prompt becomes reusable down the road so you don’t have to do it the same time and again. One of the things we teach now in our Generative AI Use Cases course, which I believe is at Trust Insights Use Cases course, is you can build deep research knowledge blocks. So you might say, “I’m a marketing analyst at a B2B consultancy.” “Our customers like people like this.” “I want you to build me a best practices guide for analyzing GA4 for me and my company and the kind of company that we are.” Christopher S. Penn – 19:09 “And I want to know what to do, what not to do, what things people miss often, and take some time to think.” And then you have probably between a 15- and 30-page piece of knowledge that the next time you do that prompt, you can absolutely say, “Hey, analyze my GA4.” “Here’s how we market. Here’s how we think about analytics. Here’s the best practices for GA4.” And those three documents probably total 30,000 words. And it’s at that point where it’s not… No, it is literally no code, and it’s not entirely no work, but you’ve done all the work up front. Katie Robbert – 19:52 The other thing that occurs to me that we should start including in our prompting is the three scenarios. So, basically, if you’re unfamiliar, I do a lot of work with scenario planning. And so, let’s say you’re talking about your budget. I usually do three versions of the budget so that I can sort of think through. Scenario one: everything is status quo; everything is just going to continue business as usual. Scenario two: we suddenly land a bunch of big clients, and we have a lot more revenue coming in. But with that, it’s not just that the top line is getting bigger. Katie Robbert – 20:33 Everything else—there’s a ripple effect to that. We’re going to have to staff up; we’re going to have to get more software, more server, whatever the thing is. So you have to plan for those. And then the third scenario that nobody likes to think about is: what happens if everything comes crashing down? What happens if we lose 75% of our clients? What happens if myself or Chris suddenly can’t perform our duties as co-founders, whatever it is? Those are scenarios that I always encourage people to plan for—whether it’s budget, your marketing plan, blah blah. You can ask generative AI. So if you spent all of this time giving generative AI data and context and knowledge blocks and the deep thinking, and it gives you a marketing plan or it gives you a strategy… Katie Robbert – 21:23 Take it that next step, do that even deeper thinking, and say, “Give me the three scenarios.” “What happens if I follow this plan?” “Exactly.” “What happens if you give me this plan and I don’t measure anything?” “What happens if I follow this plan and I don’t get any outcome?” There’s a bunch of different ways to think about it, but really challenge the system to think through its work, but also to give you that additional information because it may say, “You know what? This is a great thought process.” “I have more questions for you based on this.” “Let’s keep going.” Christopher S. Penn – 22:04 One of the magic questions that we use with generative AI—I use it all the time, particularly requirements gathering—is I’ll give it… Scenarios, situations, or whatever the case may be, and I’ll say… “The outcome I want is this.” “An analysis, a piece of code, requirements doc, whatever.” “Ask me one question at a time until you have enough information.” I did this yesterday building a piece of software in generative AI, and it was 22 questions in a row because it said, “I need to know this.” “What about this?” Same thing for scenario planning. Like, “Hey, I want to do a scenario plan for tariffs or a war between India and Pakistan, or generative AI taking away half of our customer base.” “That’s the scenario I want to plan for.” Christopher S. Penn – 22:52 “Ask me one question at a time.” Here’s—you give it all the knowledge blocks about your business and things. That question is magic. It is absolutely magic. But you have to be willing to work because you’re going to be there a while chatting, and you have to be able to think. Katie Robbert – 23:06 Yeah, it takes time. And very rarely at this point do I use generative AI in such a way that I’m not also providing data or background information. I’m not really just kind of winging it as a search engine. I’m using it in such a way that I’m providing a lot of background information and using generative AI as another version of me to help me think through something, even if it’s not a custom Katie model or whatever. I strongly feel the more data and context you give generative AI, the better the results are going to be. Versus—and we’ve done this test in a variety of different shows—if you just say, “Write me a blog post about the top five things to do in SEO in 2025,” and that’s all you give it, you’re going to get really crappy results back. Katie Robbert – 24:10 But if you load up the latest articles from the top experts and the Google algorithm user guides and developer notes and all sorts of stuff, you give all that and then say, “Great.” “Now break this down in simple language and help me write a blog post for the top five things that marketers need to do to rank in 2025.” You’re going to get a much more not only accurate but also engaging and helpful post because you’ve really done the deep thinking. Christopher S. Penn – 24:43 Exactly. And then once you’ve got the knowledge blocks codified and you’ve done the hard work—may not be coding, but it is definitely work and definitely thinking— You can then use a no-code system like N8N. Maybe you have an ICP. Maybe you have a knowledge block about SEO, maybe you have all the things, and you chain it all together and you say, “I want you to first generate five questions that we want answers to, and then I want you to take my ICP and ask the five follow-up questions.” “And I want you to take this knowledge and answer those 10 questions and write it to a disk file.” And you can then hit—you could probably rename it the easy button— Yes, but you could hit that, and it would spit out 5, 10, 15, 20 pieces of content. Christopher S. Penn – 25:25 But you have to do all the work and all the thinking up front. No code does not mean no work. Katie Robbert – 25:32 And again, that’s where I always go back to. A really great way to get started is the 5Ps. And you can give the Trust Insights 5P framework to your generative AI model and say, “This is how I want to organize my thoughts.” “Walk me through this framework and help me put my thoughts together.” And then at the end, say, “Give me an output of everything we’ve talked about in the 5Ps.” That then becomes a document that you then give back to a new chat and say, “Here’s what I want to do.” “Help me do the thing.” Christopher S. Penn – 26:06 Exactly. You can get a copy at Trust Insights AI 5P framework. Download the PDF and just drop that in. Say, “Help me reformat this.” Or even better, “Here’s the thing I want to do.” “Here’s the Trust Insights 5P framework.” “Ask me questions one at a time until you have enough information to fully fill out a 5P framework audit.” “For this idea I have.” A lot of work, but it’s a lot of work. If you do the work, the results are fantastic. Results are phenomenal, and that’s true of all of our frameworks. I mean, go on to TrustInsights.ai and look under the Insights section. We got a lot of frameworks on there. They’re all in PDF format. Download them from anything in the Instant Insights section. You don’t even need to fill out a form. You can just download the thing and start dropping it. Christopher S. Penn – 26:51 And we did this the other day with a measurement thing. I just took the SAINT framework right off of our site, dropped it in, said, “Make, fill this in, ask me questions for what’s missing.” And the output I got was fantastic. It was better than anything I’ve ever written myself, which is awkward because it’s my framework. Katie Robbert – 27:10 But. And this is gonna be awkwardly phrased, but you’re you. And what I mean by that is it’s hard to ask yourself questions and then answer those questions in an unbiased way. ‘Cause you’re like, “Huh, what do I want to eat today?” “I don’t know.” “I want to eat pizza.” “Well, you ate pizza yesterday.” “Should you be eating pizza today?” “Absolutely.” “I love pizza.” It’s not a helpful or productive conversation. And quite honestly, unless you’re like me and you just talk to yourself out loud all the time, people might think you’re a little bit silly. Christopher S. Penn – 27:46 That’s fair. Katie Robbert – 27:47 But you can. The reason I bring it up—and sort of… That was sort of a silly example. But the machine doesn’t care about you. The machine doesn’t have emotion. It’s going to ask you questions. It’s not going to care if it offends you or not. If it says, “Have you eaten today?” If you say, “Yeah, get off my back,” it’s like, “Okay, whatever.” It’s not going to give you attitude or sass back. And if you respond in such a way, it’s not going to be like, “Why are you taking attitude?” And it’s going to be like, “Okay, let’s move on to the next thing.” It’s a great way to get all of that information out without any sort of judgment or attitude, and just get the information where it needs to be. Christopher S. Penn – 28:31 Exactly. You can also, in your digital twin that you’ve made of yourself, you can adjust its personality at times and say, “Be more skeptical.” “Challenge me.” “Be critical of me.” And to your point, it’s a machine. It will do that. Christopher S. Penn – 28:47 So wrapping up: asking for no-code solutions is fine as long as you understand that it is not no work. In fact, it is a lot of work. But if you do it properly, it’s a lot of work the first time, and then subsequent runs of that task, like everything in the SDLC, get much easier. And the more time and effort you invest up front, the better your life is going to be downstream. Katie Robbert – 29:17 It’s true. Christopher S.

Since we recorded our Anthropic episode discussing building Agents with the new Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Bolt.new (by Stackblitz) has easily cleared the $8m ARR bar, repeating and accelerating its initial $4m feat.There are very many AI code generators and VS Code forks out there, but Bolt probably broke through initially because of its incredible zero shot low effort app generation:But as we explain in the pod, Bolt also emphasized deploy (Netlify)/ backend (Supabase)/ fullstack capabilities on top of Stackblitz's existing WebContainer full-WASM-powered-developer-environment-in-the-browser tech. Since then, the team has been shipping like mad (with weekly office hours), with bugfixing, full screen, multi-device, long context, diff based edits (using speculative decoding like we covered in Inference, Fast and Slow).All of this has captured the imagination of low/no code builders like Greg Isenberg and many others on YouTube/TikTok/Reddit/X/Linkedin etc:Just as with Fireworks, our relationship with Bolt/Stackblitz goes a bit deeper than normal - swyx advised the launch and got a front row seat to this epic journey, as well as demoed it with Realtime Voice at the recent OpenAI Dev Day. So we are very proud to be the first/closest to tell the full open story of Bolt/Stackblitz!Flow Engineering + Qodo/AlphaCodium UpdateIn year 2 of the pod we have been on a roll getting former guests to return as guest cohosts (Harrison Chase, Aman Sanger, Jon Frankle), and it was a pleasure to catch Itamar Friedman back on the pod, giving us an update on all things Qodo and Testing Agents from our last catchup a year and a half ago:Qodo (they renamed in September) went viral in early January this year with AlphaCodium (paper here, code here) beating DeepMind's AlphaCode with high efficiency:With a simple problem solving code agent:* The first step is to have the model reason about the problem. They describe it using bullet points and focus on the goal, inputs, outputs, rules, constraints, and any other relevant details.* Then, they make the model reason about the public tests and come up with an explanation of why the input leads to that particular output. * The model generates two to three potential solutions in text and ranks them in terms of correctness, simplicity, and robustness. * Then, it generates more diverse tests for the problem, covering cases not part of the original public tests. * Iteratively, pick a solution, generate the code, and run it on a few test cases. * If the tests fail, improve the code and repeat the process until the code passes every test.swyx has previously written similar thoughts on types vs tests for putting bounds on program behavior, but AlphaCodium extends this to AI generated tests and code.More recently, Itamar has also shown that AlphaCodium's techniques also extend well to the o1 models:Making Flow Engineering a useful technique to improve code model performance on every model. This is something we see AI Engineers uniquely well positioned to do compared to ML Engineers/Researchers.Full Video PodcastLike and subscribe!Show Notes* Itamar* Qodo* First episode* Eric* Bolt* StackBlitz* Thinkster* AlphaCodium* WebContainersChapters* 00:00:00 Introductions & Updates* 00:06:01 Generic vs. Specific AI Agents* 00:07:40 Maintaining vs Creating with AI* 00:17:46 Human vs Agent Computer Interfaces* 00:20:15 Why Docker doesn't work for Bolt* 00:24:23 Creating Testing and Code Review Loops* 00:28:07 Bolt's Task Breakdown Flow* 00:31:04 AI in Complex Enterprise Environments* 00:41:43 AlphaCodium* 00:44:39 Strategies for Breaking Down Complex Tasks* 00:45:22 Building in Open Source* 00:50:35 Choosing a product as a founder* 00:59:03 Reflections on Bolt Success* 01:06:07 Building a B2C GTM* 01:18:11 AI Capabilities and Pricing Tiers* 01:20:28 What makes Bolt unique* 01:23:07 Future Growth and Product Development* 01:29:06 Competitive Landscape in AI Engineering* 01:30:01 Advice to Founders and Embracing AI* 01:32:20 Having a baby and completing an Iron ManTranscriptAlessio [00:00:00]: Hey everyone, welcome to the Latent Space Podcast. This is Alessio, partner and CTO at Decibel Partners, and I'm joined by my co-host Swyx, founder of Smol.ai.Swyx [00:00:12]: Hey, and today we're still in our sort of makeshift in-between studio, but we're very delighted to have a former returning guest host, Itamar. Welcome back.Itamar [00:00:21]: Great to be here after a year or more. Yeah, a year and a half.Swyx [00:00:24]: You're one of our earliest guests on Agents. Now you're CEO co-founder of Kodo. Right. Which has just been renamed. You also raised a $40 million Series A, and we can get caught up on everything, but we're also delighted to have our new guest, Eric. Welcome.Eric [00:00:42]: Thank you. Excited to be here. Should I say Bolt or StackBlitz?Swyx [00:00:45]: Like, is it like its own company now or?Eric [00:00:47]: Yeah. Bolt's definitely bolt.new. That's the thing that we're probably the most known for, I imagine, at this point.Swyx [00:00:54]: Which is ridiculous to say because you were working at StackBlitz for so long.Eric [00:00:57]: Yeah. I mean, within a week, we were doing like double the amount of traffic. And StackBlitz had been online for seven years, and we were like, what? But anyways, yeah. So we're StackBlitz, the company behind bolt.new. If you've heard of bolt.new, that's our stuff. Yeah.Swyx [00:01:12]: Yeah.Itamar [00:01:13]: Excellent. I see, by the way, that the founder mode, you need to know to capture opportunities. So kudos on doing that, right? You're working on some technology, and then suddenly you can exploit that to a new world. Yeah.Eric [00:01:24]: Totally. And I think, well, not to jump, but 100%, I mean, a couple of months ago, we had the idea for Bolt earlier this year, but we haven't really shared this too much publicly. But we actually had tried to build it with some of those state-of-the-art models back in January, February, you can kind of imagine which, and they just weren't good enough to actually do the code generation where the code was accurate and it was fast and whatever have you without a ton of like rag, but then there was like issues with that. So we put it on the shelf and then we got kind of a sneak peek of some of the new models that have come out in the past couple of months now. And so once we saw that, once we actually saw the code gen from it, we were like, oh my God, like, okay, we can build a product around this. And so that was really the impetus of us building the thing. But with that, it was StackBlitz, the core StackBlitz product the past seven years has been an IDE for developers. So the entire user experience flow we've built up just didn't make sense. And so when we kind of went out to build Bolt, we just thought, you know, if we were inventing our product today, what would the interface look like given what is now possible with the AI code gen? And so there's definitely a lot of conversations we had internally, but you know, just kind of when we logically laid it out, we were like, yeah, I think it makes sense to just greenfield a new thing and let's see what happens. If it works great, then we'll figure it out. If it doesn't work great, then it'll get deleted at some point. So that's kind of how it actually came to be.Swyx [00:02:49]: I'll mention your background a little bit. You were also founder of Thinkster before you started StackBlitz. So both of you are second time founders. Both of you have sort of re-founded your company recently. Yours was more of a rename. I think a slightly different direction as well. And then we can talk about both. Maybe just chronologically, should we get caught up on where Kodo is first and then you know, just like what people should know since the last pod? Sure.Itamar [00:03:12]: The last pod was two months after we launched and we basically had the vision that we talked about. The idea that software development is about specification, test and code, etc. We are more on the testing part as in essence, we think that if you solve testing, you solve software development. The beautiful chart that we'll put up on screen. And testing is a really big field, like there are many dimensions, unit testing, the level of the component, how big it is, how large it is. And then there is like different type of testing, is it regression or smoke or whatever. So back then we only had like one ID extension with unit tests as in focus. One and a half year later, first ID extension supports more type of testing as context aware. We index local, local repos, but also 10,000s of repos for Fortune 500 companies. We have another agent, another tool that is called, the pure agent is the open source and the commercial one is CodoMerge. And then we have another open source called CoverAgent, which is not yet a commercial product coming very soon. It's very impressive. It could be that already people are approving automated pull requests that they don't even aware in really big open sources. So once we have enough of these, we will also launch another agent. So for the first one and a half year, what we did is grew in our offering and mostly on the side of, does this code actually works, testing, code review, et cetera. And we believe that's the critical milestone that needs to be achieved to actually have the AI engineer for enterprise software. And then like for the first year was everything bottom up, getting to 1 million installation. 2024, that was 2023, 2024 was starting to monetize, to feel like how it is to make the first buck. So we did the teams offering, it went well with a thousand of teams, et cetera. And then we started like just a few months ago to do enterprise with everything you need, which is a lot of things that discussed in the last post that was just released by Codelm. So that's how we call it at Codelm. Just opening the brackets, our company name was Codelm AI, and we renamed to Codo and we call our models Codelm. So back to my point, so we started Enterprise Motion and already have multiple Fortune 100 companies. And then with that, we raised a series of $40 million. And what's exciting about it is that enables us to develop more agents. That's our focus. I think it's very different. We're not coming very soon with an ID or something like that.Swyx [00:06:01]: You don't want to fork this code?Itamar [00:06:03]: Maybe we'll fork JetBrains or something just to be different.Swyx [00:06:08]: I noticed that, you know, I think the promise of general purpose agents has kind of died. Like everyone is doing kind of what you're doing. There's Codogen, Codomerge, and then there's a third one. What's the name of it?Itamar [00:06:17]: Yeah. Codocover. Cover. Which is like a commercial version of a cover agent. It's coming soon.Swyx [00:06:23]: Yeah. It's very similar with factory AI, also doing like droids. They all have special purpose doing things, but people don't really want general purpose agents. Right. The last time you were here, we talked about AutoGBT, the biggest thing of 2023. This year, not really relevant anymore. And I think it's mostly just because when you give me a general purpose agent, I don't know what to do with it.Eric [00:06:42]: Yeah.Itamar [00:06:43]: I totally agree with that. We're seeing it for a while and I think it will stay like that despite the computer use, et cetera, that supposedly can just replace us. You can just like prompt it to be, hey, now be a QA or be a QA person or a developer. I still think that there's a few reasons why you see like a dedicated agent. Again, I'm a bit more focused, like my head is more on complex software for big teams and enterprise, et cetera. And even think about permissions and what are the data sources and just the same way you manage permissions for users. Developers, you probably want to have dedicated guardrails and dedicated approvals for agents. I intentionally like touched a point on not many people think about. And of course, then what you can think of, like maybe there's different tools, tool use, et cetera. But just the first point by itself is a good reason why you want to have different agents.Alessio [00:07:40]: Just to compare that with Bot.new, you're almost focused on like the application is very complex and now you need better tools to kind of manage it and build on top of it. On Bot.new, it's almost like I was using it the other day. There's basically like, hey, look, I'm just trying to get started. You know, I'm not very opinionated on like how you're going to implement this. Like this is what I want to do. And you build a beautiful app with it. What people ask as the next step, you know, going back to like the general versus like specific, have you had people say, hey, you know, this is great to start, but then I want a specific Bot.new dot whatever else to do a more vertical integration and kind of like development or what's the, what do people say?Eric [00:08:18]: Yeah. I think, I think you kind of hit the, hit it head on, which is, you know, kind of the way that we've, we've kind of talked about internally is it's like people are using Bolt to go from like 0.0 to 1.0, like that's like kind of the biggest unlock that Bolt has versus most other things out there. I mean, I think that's kind of what's, what's very unique about Bolt. I think the, you know, the working on like existing enterprise applications is, I mean, it's crazy important because, you know, there's a, you look, when you look at the fortune 500, I mean, these code bases, some of these have been around for 20, 30 plus years. And so it's important to be going from, you know, 101.3 to 101.4, et cetera. I think for us, so what's been actually pretty interesting is we see there's kind of two different users for us that are coming in and it's very distinct. It's like people that are developers already. And then there's people that have never really written software and more if they have, it's been very, very minimal. And so in the first camp, what these developers are doing, like to go from zero to one, they're coming to Bolt and then they're ejecting the thing to get up or just downloading it and, you know, opening cursor, like whatever to, to, you know, keep iterating on the thing. And sometimes they'll bring it back to Bolt to like add in a huge piece of functionality or something. Right. But for the people that don't know how to code, they're actually just, they, they live in this thing. And that was one of the weird things when we launched is, you know, within a day of us being online, one of the most popular YouTube videos, and there's been a ton since, which was, you know, there's like, oh, Bolt is the cursor killer. And I originally saw the headlines and I was like, thanks for the views. I mean, I don't know. This doesn't make sense to me. That's not, that's not what we kind of thought.Swyx [00:09:44]: It's how YouTubers talk to each other. Well, everything kills everything else.Eric [00:09:47]: Totally. But what blew my mind was that there was any comparison because it's like cursor is a, is a local IDE product. But when, when we actually kind of dug into it and we, and we have people that are using our product saying this, I'm not using cursor. And I was like, what? And it turns out there are hundreds of thousands of people that we have seen that we're using cursor and we're trying to build apps with that where they're not traditional software does, but we're heavily leaning on the AI. And as you can imagine, it is very complicated, right? To do that with cursor. So when Bolt came out, they're like, wow, this thing's amazing because it kind of inverts the complexity where it's like, you know, it's not an IDE, it's, it's a, it's a chat-based sort of interface that we have. So that's kind of the split, which is rather interesting. We've had like the first startups now launch off of Bolt entirely where this, you know, tomorrow I'm doing a live stream with this guy named Paul, who he's built an entire CRM using this thing and you know, with backend, et cetera. And people have made their first money on the internet period, you know, launching this with Stripe or whatever have you. So that's, that's kind of the two main, the two main categories of folks that we see using Bolt though.Itamar [00:10:51]: I agree that I don't understand the comparison. It doesn't make sense to me. I think like we have like two type of families of tools. One is like we re-imagine the software development. I think Bolt is there and I think like a cursor is more like a evolution of what we already have. It's like taking the IDE and it's, it's amazing and it's okay, let's, let's adapt the IDE to an era where LLMs can do a lot for us. And Bolt is more like, okay, let's rethink everything totally. And I think we see a few tools there, like maybe Vercel, Veo and maybe Repl.it in that area. And then in the area of let's expedite, let's change, let's, let's progress with what we already have. You can see Cursor and Kodo, but we're different between ourselves, Cursor and Kodo, but definitely I think that comparison doesn't make sense.Alessio [00:11:42]: And just to set the context, this is not a Twitter demo. You've made 4 million of revenue in four weeks. So this is, this is actually working, you know, it's not a, what, what do you think that is? Like, there's been so many people demoing coding agents on Twitter and then it doesn't really work. And then you guys were just like, here you go, it's live, go use it, pay us for it. You know, is there anything in the development that was like interesting and maybe how that compares to building your own agents?Eric [00:12:08]: We had no idea, honestly, like we, we, we've been pretty blown away and, and things have just kind of continued to grow faster since then. We're like, oh, today is week six. So I, I kind of came back to the point you just made, right, where it's, you, you kind of outlined, it's like, there's kind of this new market of like kind of rethinking the software development and then there's heavily augmenting existing developers. I think that, you know, both of which are, you know, AI code gen being extremely good, it's allowed existing developers, it's allowing existing developers to camera out software far faster than they could have ever before, right? It's like the ultimate power tool for an existing developer. But this code gen stuff is now so good. And then, and we saw this over the past, you know, from the beginning of the year when we tried to first build, it's actually lowered the barrier to people that, that aren't traditionally software engineers. But the kind of the key thing is if you kind of think about it from, imagine you've never written software before, right? My co-founder and I, he and I grew up down the street from each other in Chicago. We learned how to code when we were 13 together and we've been building stuff ever since. And this is back in like the mid 2000s or whatever, you know, there was nothing for free to learn from online on the internet and how to code. For our 13th birthdays, we asked our parents for, you know, O'Reilly books cause you couldn't get this at the library, right? And so instead of like an Xbox, we got, you know, programming books. But the hardest part for everyone learning to code is getting an environment set up locally, you know? And so when we built StackBlitz, like kind of the key thesis, like seven years ago, the insight we had was that, Hey, it seems like the browser has a lot of new APIs like WebAssembly and service workers, et cetera, where you could actually write an operating system that ran inside the browser that could boot in milliseconds. And you, you know, basically there's this missing capability of the web. Like the web should be able to build apps for the web, right? You should be able to build the web on the web. Every other platform has that, Visual Studio for Windows, Xcode for Mac. The web has no built in primitive for this. And so just like our built in kind of like nerd instinct on this was like, that seems like a huge hole and it's, you know, it will be very valuable or like, you know, very valuable problem to solve. So if you want to set up that environments, you know, this is what we spent the past seven years doing. And the reality is existing developers have running locally. They already know how to set up that environment. So the problem isn't as acute for them. When we put Bolt online, we took that technology called WebContainer and married it with these, you know, state of the art frontier models. And the people that have the most pain with getting stuff set up locally is people that don't code. I think that's been, you know, really the big explosive reason is no one else has been trying to make dev environments work inside of a browser tab, you know, for the past if since ever, other than basically our company, largely because there wasn't an immediate demand or need. So I think we kind of find ourselves at the right place at the right time. And again, for this market of people that don't know how to write software, you would kind of expect that you should be able to do this without downloading something to your computer in the same way that, hey, I don't have to download Photoshop now to make designs because there's Figma. I don't have to download Word because there's, you know, Google Docs. They're kind of looking at this as that sort of thing, right? Which was kind of the, you know, our impetus and kind of vision from the get-go. But you know, the code gen, the AI code gen stuff that's come out has just been, you know, an order of magnitude multiplier on how magic that is, right? So that's kind of my best distillation of like, what is going on here, you know?Alessio [00:15:21]: And you can deploy too, right?Eric [00:15:22]: Yeah.Alessio [00:15:23]: Yeah.Eric [00:15:24]: And so that's, what's really cool is it's, you know, we have deployment built in with Netlify and this is actually, I think, Sean, you actually built this at Netlify when you were there. Yeah. It's one of the most brilliant integrations actually, because, you know, effectively the API that Sean built, maybe you can speak to it, but like as a provider, we can just effectively give files to Netlify without the user even logging in and they have a live website. And if they want to keep, hold onto it, they can click a link and claim it to their Netlify account. But it basically is just this really magic experience because when you come to Bolt, you say, I want a website. Like my mom, 70, 71 years old, made her first website, you know, on the internet two weeks ago, right? It was about her nursing days.Swyx [00:16:03]: Oh, that's fantastic though. It wouldn't have been made.Eric [00:16:06]: A hundred percent. Cause even in, you know, when we've had a lot of people building personal, like deeply personal stuff, like in the first week we launched this, the sales guy from the East Coast, you know, replied to a tweet of mine and he said, thank you so much for building this to your team. His daughter has a medical condition and so for her to travel, she has to like line up donors or something, you know, so ahead of time. And so he actually used Bolt to make a website to do that, to actually go and send it to folks in the region she was going to travel to ahead of time. I was really touched by it, but I also thought like, why, you know, why didn't he use like Wix or Squarespace? Right? I mean, this is, this is a solved problem, quote unquote, right? And then when I thought, I actually use Squarespace for my, for my, uh, the wedding website for my wife and I, like back in 2021, so I'm familiar, you know, it was, it was faster. I know how to code. I was like, this is faster. Right. And I thought back and I was like, there's a whole interface you have to learn how to use. And it's actually not that simple. There's like a million things you can configure in that thing. When you come to Bolt, there's a, there's a text box. You just say, I need a, I need a wedding website. Here's the date. Here's where it is. And here's a photo of me and my wife, put it somewhere relevant. It's actually the simplest way. And that's what my, when my mom came, she said, uh, I'm Pat Simons. I was a nurse in the seventies, you know, and like, here's the things I did and a website came out. So coming back to why is this such a, I think, why are we seeing this sort of growth? It's, this is the simplest interface I think maybe ever created to actually build it, a deploy a website. And then that website, my mom made, she's like, okay, this looks great. And there's, there's one button, you just click it, deploy, and it's live and you can buy a domain name, attach it to it. And you know, it's as simple as it gets, it's getting even simpler with some of the stuff we're working on. But anyways, so that's, it's, it's, uh, it's been really interesting to see some of the usage like that.Swyx [00:17:46]: I can offer my perspective. So I, you know, I probably should have disclosed a little bit that, uh, I'm a, uh, stack list investor.Alessio [00:17:53]: Canceled the episode. I know, I know. Don't play it now. Pause.Eric actually reached out to ShowMeBolt before the launch. And we, you know, we talked a lot about, like, the framing of, of what we're going to talk about how we marketed the thing, but also, like, what we're So that's what Bolt was going to need, like a whole sort of infrastructure.swyx: Netlify, I was a maintainer but I won't take claim for the anonymous upload. That's actually the origin story of Netlify. We can have Matt Billman talk about it, but that was [00:18:00] how Netlify started. You could drag and drop your zip file or folder from your desktop onto a website, it would have a live URL with no sign in.swyx: And so that was the origin story of Netlify. And it just persists to today. And it's just like it's really nice, interesting that both Bolt and CognitionDevIn and a bunch of other sort of agent type startups, they all use Netlify to deploy because of this one feature. They don't really care about the other features.swyx: But, but just because it's easy for computers to use and talk to it, like if you build an interface for computers specifically, that it's easy for them to Navigate, then they will be used in agents. And I think that's a learning that a lot of developer tools companies are having. That's my bolt launch story and now if I say all that stuff.swyx: And I just wanted to come back to, like, the Webcontainers things, right? Like, I think you put a lot of weight on the technical modes. I think you also are just like, very good at product. So you've, you've like, built a better agent than a lot of people, the rest of us, including myself, who have tried to build these things, and we didn't get as far as you did.swyx: Don't shortchange yourself on products. But I think specifically [00:19:00] on, on infra, on like the sandboxing, like this is a thing that people really want. Alessio has Bax E2B, which we'll have on at some point, talking about like the sort of the server full side. But yours is, you know, inside of the browser, serverless.swyx: It doesn't cost you anything to serve one person versus a million people. It doesn't, doesn't cost you anything. I think that's interesting. I think in theory, we should be able to like run tests because you can run the full backend. Like, you can run Git, you can run Node, you can run maybe Python someday.swyx: We talked about this. But ideally, you should be able to have a fully gentic loop, running code, seeing the errors, correcting code, and just kind of self healing, right? Like, I mean, isn't that the dream?Eric: Totally.swyx: Yeah,Eric: totally. At least in bold, we've got, we've got a good amount of that today. I mean, there's a lot more for us to do, but one of the nice things, because like in web container, you know, there's a lot of kind of stuff you go Google like, you know, turn docker container into wasm.Eric: You'll find a lot of stuff out there that will do that. The problem is it's very big, it's slow, and that ruins the experience. And so what we ended up doing is just writing an operating system from [00:20:00] scratch that was just purpose built to, you know, run in a browser tab. And the reason being is, you know, Docker 2 awesome things will give you an image that's like out 60 to 100 megabits, you know, maybe more, you know, and our, our OS, you know, kind of clocks in, I think, I think we're in like a, maybe, maybe a megabyte or less or something like that.Eric: I mean, it's, it's, you know, really, really, you know, stripped down.swyx: This is basically the task involved is I understand that it's. Mapping every single, single Linux call to some kind of web, web assembly implementation,Eric: but more or less, and, and then there's a lot of things actually, like when you're looking at a dev environment, there's a lot of things that you don't need that a traditional OS is gonna have, right?Eric: Like, you know audio drivers or you like, there's just like, there's just tons of things. Oh, yeah. Right. Yeah. That goes . Yeah. You can just kind, you can, you can kind of tos them. Or alternatively, what you can do is you can actually be the nice thing. And this is, this kind of comes back to the origins of browsers, which is, you know, they're, they're at the beginning of the web and, you know, the late nineties, there was two very different kind of visions for the web where Alan Kay vehemently [00:21:00] disagree with the idea that should be document based, which is, you know, Tim Berners Lee, you know, that, and that's kind of what ended up winning, winning was this document based kind of browsing documents on the web thing.Eric: Alan Kay, he's got this like very famous quote where he said, you know, you want web browsers to be mini operating systems. They should download little mini binaries and execute with like a little mini virtualized operating system in there. And what's kind of interesting about the history, not to geek out on this aspect, what's kind of interesting about the history is both of those folks ended up being right.Eric: Documents were actually the pragmatic way that the web worked. Was, you know, became the most ubiquitous platform in the world to the degree now that this is why WebAssembly has been invented is that we're doing, we need to do more low level things in a browser, same thing with WebGPU, et cetera. And so all these APIs, you know, to build an operating system came to the browser.Eric: And that was actually the realization we had in 2017 was, holy heck, like you can actually, you know, service workers, which were designed for allowing your app to work offline. That was the kind of the key one where it was like, wait a second, you can actually now run. Web servers within a [00:22:00] browser, like you can run a server that you open up.Eric: That's wild. Like full Node. js. Full Node. js. Like that capability. Like, I can have a URL that's programmatically controlled. By a web application itself, boom. Like the web can build the web. The primitive is there. Everyone at the time, like we talked to people that like worked on, you know Chrome and V8 and they were like, uhhhh.Eric: You know, like I don't know. But it's one of those things you just kind of have to go do it to find out. So we spent a couple of years, you know, working on it and yeah. And, and, and got to work in back in 2021 is when we kind of put the first like data of web container online. Butswyx: in partnership with Google, right?swyx: Like Google actually had to help you get over the finish line with stuff.Eric: A hundred percent, because well, you know, over the years of when we were doing the R and D on the thing. Kind of the biggest challenge, the two ways that you can kind of test how powerful and capable a platform are, the two types of applications are one, video games, right, because they're just very compute intensive, a lot of calculations that have to happen, right?Eric: The second one are IDEs, because you're talking about actually virtualizing the actual [00:23:00] runtime environment you are in to actually build apps on top of it, which requires sophisticated capabilities, a lot of access to data. You know, a good amount of compute power, right, to effectively, you know, building app in app sort of thing.Eric: So those, those are the stress tests. So if your platform is missing stuff, those are the things where you find out. Those are, those are the people building games and IDEs. They're the ones filing bugs on operating system level stuff. And for us, browser level stuff.Eric [00:23:47]: yeah, what ended up happening is we were just hammering, you know, the Chromium bug tracker, and they're like, who are these guys? Yeah. And, and they were amazing because I mean, just making Chrome DevTools be able to debug, I mean, it's, it's not, it wasn't originally built right for debugging an operating system, right? They've been phenomenal working with us and just kind of really pushing the limits, but that it's a rising tide that's kind of lifted all boats because now there's a lot of different types of applications that you can debug with Chrome Dev Tools that are running a browser that runs more reliably because just the stress testing that, that we and, you know, games that are coming to the web are kind of pushing as well, but.Itamar [00:24:23]: That's awesome. About the testing, I think like most, let's say coding assistant from different kinds will need this loop of testing. And even I would add code review to some, to some extent that you mentioned. How is testing different from code review? Code review could be, for example, PR review, like a code review that is done at the point of when you want to merge branches. But I would say that code review, for example, checks best practices, maintainability, and so on. It's not just like CI, but more than CI. And testing is like a more like checking functionality, et cetera. So it's different. We call, by the way, all of these together code integrity, but that's a different story. Just to go back to the, to the testing and specifically. Yeah. It's, it's, it's since the first slide. Yeah. We're consistent. So if we go back to the testing, I think like, it's not surprising that for us testing is important and for Bolt it's testing important, but I want to shed some light on a different perspective of it. Like let's think about autonomous driving. Those startups that are doing autonomous driving for highway and autonomous driving for the city. And I think like we saw the autonomous of the highway much faster and reaching to a level, I don't know, four or so much faster than those in the city. Now, in both cases, you need testing and quote unquote testing, you know, verifying validation that you're doing the right thing on the road and you're reading and et cetera. But it's probably like so different in the city that it could be like actually different technology. And I claim that we're seeing something similar here. So when you're building the next Wix, and if I was them, I was like looking at you and being a bit scared. That's what you're disrupting, what you just said. Then basically, I would say that, for example, the UX UI is freaking important. And because you're you're more aiming for the end user. In this case, maybe it's an end user that doesn't know how to develop for developers. It's also important. But let alone those that do not know to develop, they need a slick UI UX. And I think like that's one reason, for example, I think Cursor have like really good technology. I don't know the underlying what's under the hood, but at least what they're saying. But I think also their UX UI is great. It's a lot because they did their own ID. While if you're aiming for the city AI, suddenly like there's a lot of testing and code review technology that it's not necessarily like that important. For example, let's talk about integration tests. Probably like a lot of what you're building involved at the moment is isolated applications. Maybe the vision or the end game is maybe like having one solution for everything. It could be that eventually the highway companies will go into the city and the other way around. But at the beginning, there is a difference. And integration tests are a good example. I guess they're a bit less important. And when you think about enterprise software, they're really important. So to recap, like I think like the idea of looping and verifying your test and verifying your code in different ways, testing or code review, et cetera, seems to be important in the highway AI and the city AI, but in different ways and different like critical for the city, even more and more variety. Actually, I was looking to ask you like what kind of loops you guys are doing. For example, when I'm using Bolt and I'm enjoying it a lot, then I do see like sometimes you're trying to catch the errors and fix them. And also, I noticed that you're breaking down tasks into smaller ones and then et cetera, which is already a common notion for a year ago. But it seems like you're doing it really well. So if you're willing to share anything about it.Eric [00:28:07]: Yeah, yeah. I realized I never actually hit the punchline of what I was saying before. I mentioned the point about us kind of writing an operating system from scratch because what ended up being important about that is that to your point, it's actually a very, like compared to like a, you know, if you're like running cursor on anyone's machine, you kind of don't know what you're dealing with, with the OS you're running on. There could be an error happens. It could be like a million different things, right? There could be some config. There could be, it could be God knows what, right? The thing with WebConnect is because we wrote the entire thing from scratch. It's actually a unified image basically. And we can instrument it at any level that we think is going to be useful, which is exactly what we did when we started building Bolt is we instrumented stuff at like the process level, at the runtime level, you know, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Stuff that would just be not impossible to do on local, but to do that in a way that works across any operating system, whatever is, I mean, would just be insanely, you know, insanely difficult to do right and reliably. And that's what you saw when you've used Bolt is that when an error actually will occur, whether it's in the build process or the actual web application itself is failing or anything kind of in between, you can actually capture those errors. And today it's a very primitive way of how we've implemented it largely because the product just didn't exist 90 days ago. So we're like, we got some work ahead of us and we got to hire some more a little bit, but basically we present and we say, Hey, this is, here's kind of the things that went wrong. There's a fix it button and then a ignore button, and then you can just hit fix it. And then we take all that telemetry through our agent, you run it through our agent and say, kind of, here's the state of the application. Here's kind of the errors that we got from Node.js or the browser or whatever, and like dah, dah, dah, dah. And it can take a crack at actually solving it. And it's actually pretty darn good at being able to do that. That's kind of been a, you know, closing the loop and having it be a reliable kind of base has seemed to be a pretty big upgrade over doing stuff locally, just because I think that's a pretty key ingredient of it. And yeah, I think breaking things down into smaller tasks, like that's, that's kind of a key part of our agent. I think like Claude did a really good job with artifacts. I think, you know, us and kind of everyone else has, has kind of taken their approach of like actually breaking out certain tasks in a certain order into, you know, kind of a concrete way. And, and so actually the core of Bolt, I know we actually made open source. So you can actually go and check out like the system prompts and et cetera, and you can run it locally and whatever have you. So anyone that's interested in this stuff, I'd highly recommend taking a look at. There's not a lot of like stuff that's like open source in this realm. It's, that was one of the fun things that we've we thought would be cool to do. And people, people seem to like it. I mean, there's a lot of forks and people adding different models and stuff. So it's been cool to see.Swyx [00:30:41]: Yeah. I'm happy to add, I added real-time voice for my opening day demo and it was really fun to hack with. So thank you for doing that. Yeah. Thank you. I'm going to steal your code.Eric [00:30:52]: Because I want that.Swyx [00:30:52]: It's funny because I built on top of the fork of Bolt.new that already has the multi LLM thing. And so you just told me you're going to merge that in. So then you're going to merge two layers of forks down into this thing. So it'll be fun.Eric [00:31:03]: Heck yeah.Alessio [00:31:04]: Just to touch on like the environment, Itamar, you maybe go into the most complicated environments that even the people that work there don't know how to run. How much of an impact does that have on your performance? Like, you know, it's most of the work you're doing actually figuring out environment and like the libraries, because I'm sure they're using outdated version of languages, they're using outdated libraries, they're using forks that have not been on the public internet before. How much of the work that you're doing is like there versus like at the LLM level?Itamar [00:31:32]: One of the reasons I was asking about, you know, what are the steps to break things down, because it really matters. Like, what's the tech stack? How complicated the software is? It's hard to figure it out when you're dealing with the real world, any environment of enterprise as a city, when I'm like, while maybe sometimes like, I think you do enable like in Bolt, like to install stuff, but it's quite a like controlled environment. And that's a good thing to do, because then you narrow down and it's easier to make things work. So definitely, there are two dimensions, I think, actually spaces. One is the fact just like installing our software without yet like doing anything, making it work, just installing it because we work with enterprise and Fortune 500, etc. Many of them want on prem solution.Swyx [00:32:22]: So you have how many deployment options?Itamar [00:32:24]: Basically, we had, we did a metric metrics, say 96 options, because, you know, they're different dimensions. Like, for example, one dimension, we connect to your code management system to your Git. So are you having like GitHub, GitLab? Subversion? Is it like on cloud or deployed on prem? Just an example. Which model agree to use its APIs or ours? Like we have our Is it TestGPT? Yeah, when we started with TestGPT, it was a huge mistake name. It was cool back then, but I don't think it's a good idea to name a model after someone else's model. Anyway, that's my opinion. So we gotSwyx [00:33:02]: I'm interested in these learnings, like things that you change your mind on.Itamar [00:33:06]: Eventually, when you're building a company, you're building a brand and you want to create your own brand. By the way, when I thought about Bolt.new, I also thought about if it's not a problem, because when I think about Bolt, I do think about like a couple of companies that are already called this way.Swyx [00:33:19]: Curse companies. You could call it Codium just to...Itamar [00:33:24]: Okay, thank you. Touche. Touche.Eric [00:33:27]: Yeah, you got to imagine the board meeting before we launched Bolt, one of our investors, you can imagine they're like, are you sure? Because from the investment side, it's kind of a famous, very notorious Bolt. And they're like, are you sure you want to go with that name? Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.Itamar [00:33:43]: At this point, we have actually four models. There is a model for autocomplete. There's a model for the chat. There is a model dedicated for more for code review. And there is a model that is for code embedding. Actually, you might notice that there isn't a good code embedding model out there. Can you name one? Like dedicated for code?Swyx [00:34:04]: There's code indexing, and then you can do sort of like the hide for code. And then you can embed the descriptions of the code.Itamar [00:34:12]: Yeah, but you do see a lot of type of models that are dedicated for embedding and for different spaces, different fields, etc. And I'm not aware. And I know that if you go to the bedrock, try to find like there's a few code embedding models, but none of them are specialized for code.Swyx [00:34:31]: Is there a benchmark that you would tell us to pay attention to?Itamar [00:34:34]: Yeah, so it's coming. Wait for that. Anyway, we have our models. And just to go back to the 96 option of deployment. So I'm closing the brackets for us. So one is like dimensional, like what Git deployment you have, like what models do you agree to use? Dotter could be like if it's air-gapped completely, or you want VPC, and then you have Azure, GCP, and AWS, which is different. Do you use Kubernetes or do not? Because we want to exploit that. There are companies that do not do that, etc. I guess you know what I mean. So that's one thing. And considering that we are dealing with one of all four enterprises, we needed to deal with that. So you asked me about how complicated it is to solve that complex code. I said, it's just a deployment part. And then now to the software, we see a lot of different challenges. For example, some companies, they did actually a good job to build a lot of microservices. Let's not get to if it's good or not, but let's first assume that it is a good thing. A lot of microservices, each one of them has their own repo. And now you have tens of thousands of repos. And you as a developer want to develop something. And I remember me coming to a corporate for the first time. I don't know where to look at, like where to find things. So just doing a good indexing for that is like a challenge. And moreover, the regular indexing, the one that you can find, we wrote a few blogs on that. By the way, we also have some open source, different than yours, but actually three and growing. Then it doesn't work. You need to let the tech leads and the companies influence your indexing. For example, Mark with different repos with different colors. This is a high quality repo. This is a lower quality repo. This is a repo that we want to deprecate. This is a repo we want to grow, etc. And let that be part of your indexing. And only then things actually work for enterprise and they don't get to a fatigue of, oh, this is awesome. Oh, but I'm starting, it's annoying me. I think Copilot is an amazing tool, but I'm quoting others, meaning GitHub Copilot, that they see not so good retention of GitHub Copilot and enterprise. Ooh, spicy. Yeah. I saw snapshots of people and we have customers that are Copilot users as well. And also I saw research, some of them is public by the way, between 38 to 50% retention for users using Copilot and enterprise. So it's not so good. By the way, I don't think it's that bad, but it's not so good. So I think that's a reason because, yeah, it helps you auto-complete, but then, and especially if you're working on your repo alone, but if it's need that context of remote repos that you're code-based, that's hard. So to make things work, there's a lot of work on that, like giving the controllability for the tech leads, for the developer platform or developer experience department in the organization to influence how things are working. A short example, because if you have like really old legacy code, probably some of it is not so good anymore. If you just fine tune on these code base, then there is a bias to repeat those mistakes or old practices, etc. So you need, for example, as I mentioned, to influence that. For example, in Coda, you can have a markdown of best practices by the tech leads and Coda will include that and relate to that and will not offer suggestions that are not according to the best practices, just as an example. So that's just a short list of things that you need to do in order to deal with, like you mentioned, the 100.1 to 100.2 version of software. I just want to say what you're doing is extremelyEric [00:38:32]: impressive because it's very difficult. I mean, the business of Stackplus, kind of before bulk came online, we sold a version of our IDE that went on-prem. So I understand what you're saying about the difficulty of getting stuff just working on-prem. Holy heck. I mean, that is extremely hard. I guess the question I have for you is, I mean, we were just doing that with kind of Kubernetes-based stuff, but the spread of Fortune 500 companies that you're working with, how are they doing the inference for this? Are you kind of plugging into Azure's OpenAI stuff and AWS's Bedrock, you know, Cloud stuff? Or are they just like running stuff on GPUs? Like, what is that? How are these folks approaching that? Because, man, what we saw on the enterprise side, I mean, I got to imagine that that's a huge challenge. Everything you said and more, like,Itamar [00:39:15]: for example, like someone could be, and I don't think any of these is bad. Like, they made their decision. Like, for example, some people, they're, I want only AWS and VPC on AWS, no matter what. And then they, some of them, like there is a subset, I will say, I'm willing to take models only for from Bedrock and not ours. And we have a problem because there is no good code embedding model on Bedrock. And that's part of what we're doing now with AWS to solve that. We solve it in a different way. But if you are willing to run on AWS VPC, but run your run models on GPUs or inferentia, like the new version of the more coming out, then our models can run on that. But everything you said is right. Like, we see like on-prem deployment where they have their own GPUs. We see Azure where you're using OpenAI Azure. We see cases where you're running on GCP and they want OpenAI. Like this cross, like a case, although there is Gemini or even Sonnet, I think is available on GCP, just an example. So all the options, that's part of the challenge. I admit that we thought about it, but it was even more complicated. And it took us a few months to actually, that metrics that I mentioned, to start clicking each one of the blocks there. A few months is impressive. I mean,Eric [00:40:35]: honestly, just that's okay. Every one of these enterprises is, their networking is different. Just everything's different. Every single one is different. I see you understand. Yeah. So that just cannot be understated. That it is, that's extremely impressive. Hats off.Itamar [00:40:50]: It could be, by the way, like, for example, oh, we're only AWS, but our GitHub enterprise is on-prem. Oh, we forgot. So we need like a private link or whatever, like every time like that. It's not, and you do need to think about it if you want to work with an enterprise. And it's important. Like I understand like their, I respect their point of view.Swyx [00:41:10]: And this primarily impacts your architecture, your tech choices. Like you have to, you can't choose some vendors because...Itamar [00:41:15]: Yeah, definitely. To be frank, it makes us hard for a startup because it means that we want, we want everyone to enjoy all the variety of models. By the way, it was hard for us with our technology. I want to open a bracket, like a window. I guess you're familiar with our Alpha Codium, which is an open source.Eric [00:41:33]: We got to go over that. Yeah. So I'll do that quickly.Itamar [00:41:36]: Yeah. A pin in that. Yeah. Actually, we didn't have it in the last episode. So, so, okay.Swyx [00:41:41]: Okay. We'll come back to that later, but let's talk about...Itamar [00:41:43]: Yeah. So, so just like shortly, and then we can double click on Alpha Codium. But Alpha Codium is a open source tool. You can go and try it and lets you compete on CodeForce. This is a website and a competition and actually reach a master level level, like 95% with a click of a button. You don't need to do anything. And part of what we did there is taking a problem and breaking it to different, like smaller blocks. And then the models are doing a much better job. Like we all know it by now that taking small tasks and solving them, by the way, even O1, which is supposed to be able to do system two thinking like Greg from OpenAI like hinted, is doing better on these kinds of problems. But still, it's very useful to break it down for O1, despite O1 being able to think by itself. And that's what we presented like just a month ago, OpenAI released that now they are doing 93 percentile with O1 IOI left and International Olympiad of Formation. Sorry, I forgot. Exactly. I told you I forgot. And we took their O1 preview with Alpha Codium and did better. Like it just shows like, and there is a big difference between the preview and the IOI. It shows like that these models are not still system two thinkers, and there is a big difference. So maybe they're not complete system two. Yeah, they need some guidance. I call them system 1.5. We can, we can have it. I thought about it. Like, you know, I care about this philosophy stuff. And I think like we didn't see it even close to a system two thinking. I can elaborate later. But closing the brackets, like we take Alpha Codium and as our principle of thinking, we take tasks and break them down to smaller tasks. And then we want to exploit the best model to solve them. So I want to enable anyone to enjoy O1 and SONET and Gemini 1.5, etc. But at the same time, I need to develop my own models as well, because some of the Fortune 500 want to have all air gapped or whatever. So that's a challenge. Now you need to support so many models. And to some extent, I would say that the flow engineering, the breaking down to two different blocks is a necessity for us. Why? Because when you take a big block, a big problem, you need a very different prompt for each one of the models to actually work. But when you take a big problem and break it into small tasks, we can talk how we do that, then the prompt matters less. What I want to say, like all this, like as a startup trying to do different deployment, getting all the juice that you can get from models, etc. is a big problem. And one need to think about it. And one of our mitigation is that process of taking tasks and breaking them down. That's why I'm really interested to know how you guys are doing it. And part of what we do is also open source. So you can see.Swyx [00:44:39]: There's a lot in there. But yeah, flow over prompt. I do believe that that does make sense. I feel like there's a lot that both of you can sort of exchange notes on breaking down problems. And I just want you guys to just go for it. This is fun to watch.Eric [00:44:55]: Yeah. I mean, what's super interesting is the context you're working in is, because for us too with Bolt, we've started thinking because our kind of existing business line was going behind the firewall, right? We were like, how do we do this? Adding the inference aspect on, we're like, okay, how does... Because I mean, there's not a lot of prior art, right? I mean, this is all new. This is all new. So I definitely am going to have a lot of questions for you.Itamar [00:45:17]: I'm here. We're very open, by the way. We have a paper on a blog or like whatever.Swyx [00:45:22]: The Alphacodeum, GitHub, and we'll put all this in the show notes.Itamar [00:45:25]: Yeah. And even the new results of O1, we published it.Eric [00:45:29]: I love that. And I also just, I think spiritually, I like your approach of being transparent. Because I think there's a lot of hype-ium around AI stuff. And a lot of it is, it's just like, you have these companies that are just kind of keep their stuff closed source and then just max hype it, but then it's kind of nothing. And I think it kind of gives a bad rep to the incredible stuff that's actually happening here. And so I think it's stuff like what you're doing where, I mean, true merit and you're cracking open actual code for others to learn from and use. That strikes me as the right approach. And it's great to hear that you're making such incredible progress.Itamar [00:46:02]: I have something to share about the open source. Most of our tools are, we have an open source version and then a premium pro version. But it's not an easy decision to do that. I actually wanted to ask you about your strategy, but I think in your case, there is, in my opinion, relatively a good strategy where a lot of parts of open source, but then you have the deployment and the environment, which is not right if I get it correctly. And then there's a clear, almost hugging face model. Yeah, you can do that, but why should you try to deploy it yourself, deploy it with us? But in our case, and I'm not sure you're not going to hit also some competitors, and I guess you are. I wanted to ask you, for example, on some of them. In our case, one day we looked on one of our competitors that is doing code review. We're a platform. We have the code review, the testing, et cetera, spread over the ID to get. And in each agent, we have a few startups or a big incumbents that are doing only that. So we noticed one of our competitors having not only a very similar UI of our open source, but actually even our typo. And you sit there and you're kind of like, yeah, we're not that good. We don't use enough Grammarly or whatever. And we had a couple of these and we saw it there. And then it's a challenge. And I want to ask you, Bald is doing so well, and then you open source it. So I think I know what my answer was. I gave it before, but still interestingEric [00:47:29]: to hear what you think. GeoHot said back, I don't know who he was up to at this exact moment, but I think on comma AI, all that stuff's open source. And someone had asked him, why is this open source? And he's like, if you're not actually confident that you can go and crush it and build the best thing, then yeah, you should probably keep your stuff closed source. He said something akin to that. I'm probably kind of butchering it, but I thought it was kind of a really good point. And that's not to say that you should just open source everything, because for obvious reasons, there's kind of strategic things you have to kind of take in mind. But I actually think a pretty liberal approach, as liberal as you kind of can be, it can really make a lot of sense. Because that is so validating that one of your competitors is taking your stuff and they're like, yeah, let's just kind of tweak the styles. I mean, clearly, right? I think it's kind of healthy because it keeps, I'm sure back at HQ that day when you saw that, you're like, oh, all right, well, we have to grind even harder to make sure we stay ahead. And so I think it's actually a very useful, motivating thing for the teams. Because you might feel this period of comfort. I think a lot of companies will have this period of comfort where they're not feeling the competition and one day they get disrupted. So kind of putting stuff out there and letting people push it forces you to face reality soon, right? And actually feel that incrementally so you can kind of adjust course. And that's for us, the open source version of Bolt has had a lot of features people have been begging us for, like persisting chat messages and checkpoints and stuff. Within the first week, that stuff was landed in the open source versions. And they're like, why can't you ship this? It's in the open, so people have forked it. And we're like, we're trying to keep our servers and GPUs online. But it's been great because the folks in the community did a great job, kept us on our toes. And we've got to know most of these folks too at this point that have been building these things. And so it actually was very instructive. Like, okay, well, if we're going to go kind of land this, there's some UX patterns we can kind of look at and the code is open source to this stuff. What's great about these, what's not. So anyways, NetNet, I think it's awesome. I think from a competitive point of view for us, I think in particular, what's interesting is the core technology of WebContainer going. And I think that right now, there's really nothing that's kind of on par with that. And we also, we have a business of, because WebContainer runs in your browser, but to make it work, you have to install stuff from NPM. You have to make cores bypass requests, like connected databases, which all require server-side proxying or acceleration. And so we actually sell WebContainer as a service. One of the core reasons we open-sourced kind of the core components of Bolt when we launched was that we think that there's going to be a lot more of these AI, in-your-browser AI co-gen experiences, kind of like what Anthropic did with Artifacts and Clod. By the way, Artifacts uses WebContainers. Not yet. No, yeah. Should I strike that? I think that they've got their own thing at the moment, but there's been a lot of interest in WebContainers from folks doing things in that sort of realm and in the AI labs and startups and everything in between. So I think there'll be, I imagine, over the coming months, there'll be lots of things being announced to folks kind of adopting it. But yeah, I think effectively...Swyx [00:50:35]: Okay, I'll say this. If you're a large model lab and you want to build sandbox environments inside of your chat app, you should call Eric.Itamar [00:50:43]: But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I have a question about that. I think OpenAI, they felt that people are not using their model as they would want to. So they built ChatGPT. But I would say that ChatGPT now defines OpenAI. I know they're doing a lot of business from their APIs, but still, is this how you think? Isn't Bolt.new your business now? Why don't you focus on that instead of the...Swyx [00:51:16]: What's your advice as a founder?Eric [00:51:18]: You're right. And so going into it, we, candidly, we were like, Bolt.new, this thing is super cool. We think people are stoked. We think people will be stoked. But we were like, maybe that's allowed. Best case scenario, after month one, we'd be mind blown if we added a couple hundred K of error or something. And we were like, but we think there's probably going to be an immediate huge business. Because there was some early poll on folks wanting to put WebContainer into their product offerings, kind of similar to what Bolt is doing or whatever. We were actually prepared for the inverse outcome here. But I mean, well, I guess we've seen poll on both. But I mean, what's happened with Bolt, and you're right, it's actually the same strategy as like OpenAI or Anthropic, where we have our ChatGPT to OpenAI's APIs is Bolt to WebContainer. And so we've kind of taken that same approach. And we're seeing, I guess, some of the similar results, except right now, the revenue side is extremely lopsided to Bolt.Itamar [00:52:16]: I think if you ask me what's my advice, I think you have three options. One is to focus on Bolt. The other is to focus on the WebContainer. The third is to raise one billion dollars and do them both. I'm serious. I think otherwise, you need to choose. And if you raise enough money, and I think it's big bucks, because you're going to be chased by competitors. And I think it will be challenging to do both. And maybe you can. I don't know. We do see these numbers right now, raising above $100 million, even without havingEric [00:52:49]: a product. You can see these. It's excellent advice. And I think what's been amazing, but also kind of challenging is we're trying to forecast, okay, well, where are these things going? I mean, in the initial weeks, I think us and all the investors in the company that we're sharing this with, it was like, this is cool. Okay, we added 500k. Wow, that's crazy. Wow, we're at a million now. Most things, you have this kind of the tech crunch launch of initiation and then the thing of sorrow. And if there's going to be a downtrend, it's just not coming yet. Now that we're kind of looking ahead, we're six weeks in. So now we're getting enough confidence in our convictions to go, okay, this se

Esteemed trader and former guest alum Chris Dover joins Kyle and Perdue to discuss the use of language learning models (LLMs) in trading and other applications. LLMs are large language models that consume massive amounts of data to learn patterns and predict the next action. They can be used to answer queries, provide recommendations, and even build strategies. The conversation explores the limitations and potential of LLMs, as well as the future of AI in trading and everyday life. Chris explains various topics related to machine learning, AI, and algorithmic trading. The hosts discuss the use of TensorFlow and CUDA programming software, the accessibility of machine learning algorithms through tools like Chat GPT and Google CoLab, and the importance of understanding market types and using simple systems. They also touch on the challenges of using LMMs and the impact of technology on various industries. They wrap up by speculating on the potential impact of AI on the global economy and the need for alternative energy sources while discussing the role of AI in solving complex problems and the importance of leveraging its capabilities.Sponsors and FriendsOur podcast is sponsored by Sue Maki at Fairway Independent Mortgage (MLS# 206048).

Topics covered in this episode: Solara UI Framework Coverage at a crossroads “Virtual” methods in Python classes Extras Joke Watch on YouTube About the show Sponsored by ScoutAPM: pythonbytes.fm/scout Connect with the hosts Michael: @mkennedy@fosstodon.org Brian: @brianokken@fosstodon.org Show: @pythonbytes@fosstodon.org Join us on YouTube at pythonbytes.fm/live to be part of the audience. Usually Tuesdays at 10am PT. Older video versions available there too. Finally, if you want an artisanal, hand-crafted digest of every week of the show notes in email form? Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Michael #1: Solara UI Framework via Florian A Pure Python, React-style Framework for Scaling Your Jupyter and Web Apps Solara lets you build web apps from pure Python using ipywidgets or a React-like API on top of ipywidgets. These apps work both inside the Jupyter Notebook and as standalone web apps with frameworks like FastAPI. See the Examples page. Based on Reacton By building on top of ipywidgets, Solara automatically leverage an existing ecosystem of widgets and run on many platforms, including JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, Voilà, Google Colab, DataBricks, JetBrains Datalore, and more. Brian #2: Coverage at a crossroads Ned Batchelder is working on making coverage.py faster. Includes a nice, quick explanation of roughly how coverage.py works with trace function and arcs used for branch coverage. And how trace slows things down for lines we know are already covered. There are cool ideas from SlipCover that could be applicable. There's also sys.monitoring from Python 3.12 that helps with line coverage, since you can disable it for lines you already have info on. It doesn't quite complete the picture for branch coverage, though. Summary: jump in and help if you can read it anyway for a great mental model of how coverage.py works. Michael #3: “Virtual” methods in Python classes via Brian Skinn PEP 698 just got accepted, defining an @override decorator for type hinting, to help avoid errors in subclasses that override methods. Only affects type checkers but allows you to declare a “link” between the base method and derived class method with the intent of overriding it using OOP. If there is a mismatch, it's an error. Python 3.12's documentation Makes Python a bit more like C# and other more formal languages Brian #4: Parsing Python ASTs 20x Faster with Rust Evan Doyle Tach is “a CLI tool that lets you define and enforce import boundaries between Python modules in your project.” we covered it in episode 384 When used to analyze Sentry's ~3k Python file codebase, it took about 10 seconds. Profiling analysis using py-spy and speedscope pointed to a function that spends about 2/3 of the time parsing the AST, and about 1/3 traversing it. That portion was then rewritten in Rust, resulting in 10x speedup, ending in about 1 second. This is a cool example of not just throwing Rust at a speed problem right away, but doing the profiling homework first, and focusing the Rust rewrite on the bottleneck. Extras Brian: I brought up pkgutil.resolve_name() last week on episode 388 Brett Cannon says don't use that, it's deprecated Thanks astroboy for letting me know Will we get CalVer for Python? it was talked about at the language summit There's also pep 2026, in draft, with a nice nod in the number of when it might happen. 3.13 already in the works for 2024 3.14 slated for 2025, and we gotta have a pi release So the earliest is then 2026, with maybe a 3.26 version ? Saying thanks to open source maintainers Great write-up by Brett Cannon about how to show your appreciation for OSS maintainers. Be nice Be an advocate Produce your own open source Say thanks Fiscal support On topic Thanks Brett for pyproject.toml. I love it. Michael: The Shiny for Python course is out!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: InterLab - a toolkit for experiments with multi-agent interactions, published by Tomáš Gavenčiak on January 22, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. This post introduces InterLab, a toolkit for experiments with multi-agent interaction. We plan to release more posts on the overall project, technical details, design considerations, and concrete research projects and ideas over the next few weeks to months. This post focuses on the motivation behind the project and touches upon more high-level considerations; if you want to jump to the implementation itself or want to start experimenting, you can jump directly to the Getting started section, to the InterLab GitHub repo with project overview and further links, or explore the example Google Colab notebook. Motivation The research agenda of ACS is primarily focused on understanding complex interactions of humans and AI agents, both on individual level and between systems or institutions, and both theoretically and empirically. Future going well in our view depends not just on the narrow ability to point one AI system to some well specified goal, but broadly on a complex system composed of both AIs and humans to develop in a way which is conducive to human flourishing. This points to a somewhat different set of questions than traditional AI safety, including problems such as "how to deal with the misalignment between individual humans, or between humans and institutions?", "how to avoid AIs amplifying conflict?", "how will institutions running on AI cognition (rather than human cognition) work?", "how do aggregate multi-agent entities evolve?", or "what happens if you replace part of human-human interactions in the society with AI-AI interactions?". While many of these questions likely require a better theoretical and conceptual understanding, it is also possible to study them empirically, using LLMs and LLM-based agents, which can also inform our models and intuitions. We may build more comprehensive language model evaluations for near-term alignment, in particular in the direction of multi-agent evaluations - this is indeed one of the goals of InterLab. We may learn about strategies for resolving conflicts and disagreements, and robust cooperation, as well as models of manipulation and coercion, in particular under information and power imbalances. We may create new technologies for human coordination, cooperation and empowerment, such as negotiation aids or aids for solving internal conflicts in individual humans. Multi-agent systems of humans and AIs come with a specific and understudied set of risks (longer report forthcoming). Better empirical understanding of systems of interacting LLMs can help us better understand the space of intelligent systems occupied by collective intelligences and superagents. There is some risk of over-updating our models and intuitions based on the current AI systems that needs to be taken into account, but alignment theory developed more in touch with experiments seems like a useful direction. Another intuition behind this work is the insight that sometimes it is easier to understand or predict the behavior of a system of agents as a whole and based on simplified models, rather than to e.g. model the individuals accurately and then model the system primarily as a collection of individuals. For example, modeling the flow of passengers in a metropolitan transit system is notably easier than understanding individual humans and their reasons why they move in some particular ways. (In fact, some systems in human civilization are specifically designed to avoid the outcome being too influenced by properties of individuals, e.g. Empirical language model research and experimentation are taking off quickly both within industry and mainstream ML and other fields (social sciences, fairness) and it is hardl...

With the widespread adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs), many deep learning practitioners are looking for strategies of running these models more efficiently. One such strategy is to use sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) - a type of model architectures where only a fraction of model layers are active for any given input. This property allows MoE-based language models to generate tokens faster than their dense counterparts, but it also increases model size due to having multiple experts. Unfortunately, this makes state-of-the-art MoE language models difficult to run without high-end GPUs. In this work, we study the problem of running large MoE language models on consumer hardware with limited accelerator memory. We build upon parameter offloading algorithms and propose a novel strategy that accelerates offloading by taking advantage of innate properties of MoE LLMs. Using this strategy, we build can run Mixtral-8x7B with mixed quantization on desktop hardware and free-tier Google Colab instances. 2023: Artyom Eliseev, Denis Mazur https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.17238v1.pdf

(Also, thanks Michael for the awesome search tool on PythonBytes.fm that includes transcripts, so I can find stuff discussed and not just stuff listed in the show notes.) Plumbum is “ a small yet feature-rich library for shell script-like programs in Python. The motto of the library is “Never write shell scripts again”, and thus it attempts to mimic the shell syntax (shell combinators) where it makes sense, while keeping it all Pythonic and cross-platform.” Supports local commands piping redirection working directory changes in a with block. So cool. lots more fun features Michael #2: Our plan for Python 3.13 The big difference is that we have now finished the foundational work that we need: Low impact monitoring (PEP 669) is implemented. The bytecode compiler is a much better state. The interpreter generator is working. Experiments on the register machine are complete.

Wie versprochen gibt es in dieser Folge einen Rückblick auf die Google I/O 2023:PaLM 2 ist die Basis für fast alle Neuerung im KI-Umfeld von Google. Das neue Large Language Model basiert auf sehr vielen Parametern und kann damit viele komplexe Problembereiche abdecken.Bard ist Googles Antwort auf ChatGPT und wird von PaLM 2 betrieben – leider aktuell nur per VPN nutzbar.Innerhalb von Vertex AI, Google Clouds Bereich für Machine Learning, gibt es nun zwei neue Bereiche. Der Model Garden gibt Zugriff auf verschiedenste Modelle, die nicht zwangsweise von Google sein müssen. Im Generative AI Studio hat man die Möglichkeit, die Basismodelle von Google (beispielsweise Codey für die Programmierung) mit eigenen Daten zu tunen. Außerdem lassen sich Prompts testen.Unter dem Namen "Duet AI" bietet Google in unterschiedlichsten Produkten Funktionalitäten ähnlich zu dem "Copiloten" der OpenAI-/Microsoft-Welt. Im Google Workspace hilft er beim Schreiben von Dokumenten und Stylen von Präsentationen, in der Google Cloud kann er bei jeglichem Problem zu den eigenen Projekten helfen.Sebi gibt eine Übersicht über alle Web-Development-Themen, die im Rahmen der Google I/O zusammengefasst wurden. Die meisten haben wir im Podcast schonmal besprochen.Project Tailwind ist KI getriebenes Notizbuch, wo ich zu meinen Unterlagen Fragen stellen und mehr lernen kann.Außerdem:Neues aus dem Quantencomputing-Umfeld: Qrisp ist eine neue "Programmiersprache", die das Entwickeln von Algorithmen für Quanten-Computer vereinfachen soll.Meta muss eine Rekordstrafe zahlen.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Maze-solving agents: Add a top-right vector, make the agent go to the top-right, published by Alex Turner on March 31, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Overview: We modify the goal-directed behavior of a trained network, without any gradients or finetuning. We simply add or subtract "motivational vectors" which we compute in a straightforward fashion. In the original post, we defined a "cheese vector" to be "the difference in activations when the cheese is present in a maze, and when the cheese is not present in the same maze." By subtracting the cheese vector from all forward passes in a maze, the network ignored cheese. I (Alex Turner) present a "top right vector" which, when added to forward passes in a range of mazes, attracts the agent to the top-right corner of each maze. Furthermore, the cheese and top-right vectors compose with each other, allowing (limited but substantial) mix-and-match modification of the network's runtime goals. I provide further speculation about the algebraic value editing conjecture: It's possible to deeply modify a range of alignment-relevant model properties, without retraining the model, via techniques as simple as "run forward passes on prompts which e.g. prompt the model to offer nice- and not-nice completions, and then take a 'niceness vector', and then add the niceness vector to future forward passes." I close by asking the reader to make predictions about our upcoming experimental results on language models. This post presents some of the results in this top-right vector Google Colab, and then offers speculation and interpretation. I produced the results in this post, but the vector was derived using a crucial observation from Peli Grietzer. Lisa Thiergart independently analyzed top-right-seeking tendencies, and had previously searched for a top-right vector. A lot of the content and infrastructure was made possible by my MATS 3.0 team: Ulisse Mini, Peli Grietzer, and Monte MacDiarmid. Thanks also to Lisa Thiergart, Aryan Bhatt, Tamera Lanham, and David Udell for feedback and thoughts. Background This post is straightforward, as long as you remember a few concepts: Vector fields, vector field diffs, and modifying a forward pass. AKA you know what this figure represents: How to derive activation-space vectors (like the "cheese vector") by diffing two forward passes, and add / subtract these vectors from future forward passes AKA you can understand the following: "We took the cheese vector from maze 7. ~Halfway through the forward passes, we subtract it with coefficient 5, and the agent avoided the cheese." If you don't know what these mean, read this section. If you understand, then skip. Langosco et al. trained a range of maze-solving nets. We decided to analyze one which we thought would be interesting. The network we chose has 3.5M parameters and 15 convolutional layers. Sampling rollouts from the trained policy adds a lot of noise. A nicer way to view episodes is with a vector field view, which overlays a vector field representing the agent policy for a given maze. To compute the cheese vector, we Generate two observations—one with cheese, and one without. The observations are otherwise the same. Run a forward pass on each observation, recording the activations at each layer. For a given layer, define the cheese vector to be CheeseActivations - NoCheeseActivations. The cheese vector is a vector in the vector space of activations at that layer. Let's walk through an example, where for simplicity the network has a single hidden layer, taking each observation (shape (3, 64, 64) for the 64x64 RGB image) to a two-dimensional hidden state (shape (2,)) to a logit vector (shape (15,)). We run a forward pass on a batch of two observations, one with cheese (note the glint of yellow in the image on the left!) and one without (on the righ...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: How-to Transformer Mechanistic Interpretability—in 50 lines of code or less!, published by StefanHex on January 24, 2023 on LessWrong. Produced as part of the SERI ML Alignment Theory Scholars Program - Winter 2022 Cohort. What if I told you that in just one weekend you can get up to speed doing practical Mechanistic Interpretability research on Transformers? Surprised? Then this is your tutorial! I'll give you a view to how I research Transformer circuits in practice, show you the tools you need, and explain my thought process along the way. I focus on the practical side to get started with interventions; for more background see point 2 below. Prerequisites: Understanding the Transformer architecture: Know what the residual stream is, how attention layers and MLPs work, and how logits & predictions work. For future sections familiarity with multi-head attention is useful. Here's a link to Neel's glossary which provides excellent explanations for most terms I might use!If you're not familiar with Transformers you can check out Step 2 (6) on Neel's guide or any of the other explanations online, I recommend Jay Alammar's The Illustrated Transformer and/or Milan Straka's lecture series. Some overview of Mechanistic Interpretability is helpful: See e.g. any of Neel's talks, or look at the results in the IOI paper / walkthrough. Basic Python: Familiarity with arrays (as in NumPy or PyTorch, for indices) is useful; but explicitly no PyTorch knowledge required! No hardware required, free Google Colab account works fine for this. Here's a notebook with all the code from this tutorial! PS: Here's a little web page where you can run some of these methods online! No trivial inconveniences! Step 0: Setup Open a notebook (e.g. Colab) and install Neel Nanda's TransformerLens (formerly known as EasyTransformer). Step 1: Getting a model to play with That's it, now you've got a GPT2 model to play with! TransformerLens supports most relevant open source transformers. Here's how to run the language model Let's have a look at the internal activations: TransformerLens can give you a dictionary with almost all internal activations you ever care about (referred to as “cache”): Here you will find things like the attention pattern blocks.0.attn.hook_pattern, the residual stream before and after each layer blocks.1.hook_resid_pre, and more! You can also access all the weights & parameters of the model in model.named_parameters(). Here you will find weight matrices & biases of every MLP and Attention layer, as well as the embedding & unembedding matrices. I won't focus on these in this guide but they're great to look at! (Exercise: What can the unembedding biases unembed.b_U tell you about common tokens?) Step 2: Let's start analyzing a behavior! Let's go and find some induction heads! I'll make up an example: Her name was Alex Hart. When Alex, with likely completion Hart. TransformerLens has a little tool to plot a tokenized prompt, model predictions, and associated logits: I find it is useful to spend a few minutes thinking about which information is needed to solve the task: The model needs to Realize the last token, Alex, is a repetition of a previous occurrence The model needs to copy the last name from after the previous Alex occurrence to the last token as prediction Method 1: Residual stream patching The number 1 thing I try when I want to reverse engineer a new behavior is to find where in the network the information is “traveling”. In transformers, the model keeps track of all information in the residual stream. Attention heads & MLPs read from the residual stream, perform some computation or information moving, and write their outputs back into the residual stream. I think of this stream as having a couple of “lanes” corresponding to each token position. Over the course of the model...

LiveView isn't always the right answer. Chris Nelson created LiveState to enable embedding custom HTML components in other websites and connect over Phoenix channels to keep UI state on the server! LiveState takes an interesting approach that tries to keep many of the benefits of LiveView but apply it to situations like custom components in static sites hosted by other people. Chris explains how it works and what problems it solves. Check it out!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A Barebones Guide to Mechanistic Interpretability Prerequisites, published by Neel Nanda on November 29, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Co-authored by Neel Nanda and Jess Smith Crossposted on the suggestion of Vasco Grilo Why does this exist? People often get intimidated when trying to get into AI or AI Alignment research. People often think that the gulf between where they are and where they need to be is huge. This presents practical concerns for people trying to change fields: we all have limited time and energy. And for the most part, people wildly overestimate the actual core skills required. This guide is our take on the essential skills required to understand, write code and ideally contribute useful research to mechanistic interpretability. We hope that it's useful and unintimidating. :) Core Skills: Maths: Linear Algebra: 3Blue1Brown or Linear Algebra Done Right Core goals - to deeply & intuitively understand these concepts: Basis Change of basis That a vector space is a geometric object that doesn't necessarily have a canonical basis That a matrix is a linear map between two vector spaces (or from a vector space to itself) Bonus things that it's useful to understand: What's singular value decomposition?

Michael #1: Python 3.11 is released Live stream of the actual release procedure Talk Python episode coming next week (live stream on Friday) Major new features of the 3.11 series, compared to 3.10 General changes PEP 657 -- Include Fine-Grained Error Locations in Tracebacks PEP 654 -- Exception Groups and except* PEP 680 -- tomllib: Support for Parsing TOML in the Standard Library gh-90908 -- Introduce task groups to asyncio gh-34627 -- Atomic grouping ((?>...)) and possessive quantifiers (*+, ++, ?+, {m,n}+) are now supported in regular expressions. The Faster CPython Project is already yielding some exciting results. Python 3.11 is up to 10-60% faster than Python 3.10. On average, we measured a 1.22x speedup on the standard benchmark suite. See Faster CPython for details. Typing and typing language changes PEP 673 -- Self Type PEP 646 -- Variadic Generics PEP 675 -- Arbitrary Literal String Type PEP 655 -- Marking individual TypedDict items as required or potentially-missing PEP 681 -- Data Class Transforms Brian #2: Installing Python 3.11 on Mac or Windows pythontest.com I wrote this up because there are lots tutorials with weird instructions. For most people, I think the right answer is to use the python.org installer. It just works. One change, for Windows: Use “Advanced Options” and select “Add Python to environment variables”. The default process: allows multiple versions, like 3.7, 3.10, 3.11, to all live side by side. allows tox to use all of these allows you to specify which one if you want python3.10, for example, on mac py -3.10 on windows allows you to update versions in place. Say 3.10.7 to 3.10.8, or 3.11.0 to 3.11.1 when it comes out. Please, blog writers, stop recommending pyenv to novices. It's a cool project, but it is not a project for casual users. And homebrew lovers, go for it, you are not going to read my article anyway. Michael #4: Bossie 2022 Awards Notable winners Wasmtime: Similar to what Node.js does for the JavaScript runtime, Wasmtime allows developers to leverage all of the advantages that WebAssembly provides inside the browser-including safe sandboxed execution, near-native performance, and support across multiple programming languages and platforms -outside the browser. (Python's integration) PyScript: One of the long-gestating promises of WebAssembly is enabling the use of languages other than JavaScript in the web browser. PyScript delivers a full Python runtime in the browser, allowing you to use Python in webpages as a full-blown scripting language. Sentry: Alongside security, error and performance tracing are among the most frustratingly inevitable requirements for many apps. Cue a sigh of relief. Sentry offers an entire ecosystem of open source tools for monitoring the health of applications, services, and APIs, from the server-side API for collecting data, to a dashboard for making it manageable, to a comprehensive slew of application-side integrations. nbdev: One of the dirty secrets of notebook programming, using environments like Jupyter or Google Colab, is that it produces some of the worst spaghetti code you've ever seen, with data scientists hopping from cell to cell and creating an unmaintainable mess. Some even go so far as to say that notebook programming might be as harmful as GOTO was back in the day. Brian #5: Textual 0.2.0 All the cool things Will has been showing off on Twitter recently are part of the css branch. This has been merged, and released as 0.2.0 They also held off this release until they were happy with the documentation, which includes: A new tutorial that walks through a stopwatch application and everything that goes into it. An in depth reference guide with fully working examples, all of which are also in github, so you can play with it directly without retyping everything. Extras Michael: Video I created: 17x Faster Page Load in 30 minutes using Python, PyCharm, and MongoDB Pandas Markets Calendar (by Ryan Sheftel) Beanie adds a sync API DuckDuckGo browser, exciting and disappointing int() isn't done yet via Will Shanks Ubuntu has decided to patch out the int limit and preserve the previous behavior on the basis that the risk factor is low and not worth breaking compatibility for.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A Barebones Guide to Mechanistic Interpretability Prerequisites, published by Neel Nanda on October 24, 2022 on The AI Alignment Forum. Co-authored by Neel Nanda and Jess Smith Why does this exist? People often get intimidated when trying to get into AI or AI Alignment research. People often think that the gulf between where they are and where they need to be is huge. This presents practical concerns for people trying to change fields: we all have limited time and energy. And for the most part, people wildly overestimate the actual core skills required. This guide is our take on the essential skills required to understand, write code and ideally contribute useful research to mechanistic interpretability. We hope that it's useful and unintimidating. :) Core Skills: Maths: Linear Algebra: 3Blue1Brown or Linear Algebra Done Right Core goals - to deeply & intuitively understand these concepts: Basis Change of basis That a vector space is a geometric object that doesn't necessarily have a canonical basis That a matrix is a linear map between two vector spaces (or from a vector space to itself) Bonus things that it's useful to understand: What's singular value decomposition? Why is it useful? What are orthogonal/orthonormal matrices, and how is changing to an orthonormal basis importantly different from just any change of basis? What are eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and what do these tell you about a linear map?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Comparison between the hedonic utility of human life and poultry living time, published by Vasco Grilo on June 8, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary This analysis estimates the negative utility of poultry living time as a fraction of the utility of human life, under total hedonic utilitarianism (classical utilitarisnism). The results are presented by country in this spreadsheet (see tab "TOC"). The conclusions are very sensitive to the moral weight of poultry birds relative to humans, and the quality of their living conditions in factory farms relative to fully healthy life. However: In expectation, the (mean) negative utility of poultry living time seems much larger than that of human life. Realistically, the (median) negative utility of poultry living time seems comparable to that of human life. You can use this Guesstimate model to select your preferred inputs. Acknowledgements Thanks to Cynthia Schuck-Paim, Jason Schukraft, Lewis Bollard, Matt Sharp, Michael St. Jules and Scott Smith for feedback. Methodology The logic of the calculations is illustrated in this Guesstimate model. The tabs mentioned throughout the following sections refer to this spreadsheet. Utility of human life The utility of human life (QALY/person/year) was determined from the ratio between the healthy and full life expectancy. This is imperfect, but allows to estimate the utility of human life via a linear regression on life expectancy at birth: The utility of human life was calculated through the mean life expectancy at birth of the years between 2025 and 2100 (see tab "Future utility of human life"). Data about the future life expectancy at birth was taken from OWID, and is in tab "Future life expectancy". The linear regression coefficients were calculated based on data about the healthy and full life expectancy at birth from 1990 to 2016 (see tabs "Utility of human life and life expectancy" and "Past utility of human life"). Data about the past healthy life expectancy at birth was taken from OWID, and is in tab "Past healthy life expectancy". Data about the past life expectancy at birth was taken from OWID, and is in tab "Past life expectancy". Utility of poultry living time The utility of poultry living time per capita (-QALY/person/year) is the product of: The poultry living time per capita (pyear/person/year), which is the product between: The poultry production per capita (kg/person/year). The ratio between poultry living time and production (pyear/kg). Moral weight of poultry (QALY/pQALY). Quality of the living conditions of poultry (-pQALY/pyear). The factors defining the poultry living time per capita were modelled as constants, and the ones regarding the moral weight and quality of the living conditions of poultry as distributions. The following sections provide further details. The calculations of the utility of poultry living time per capita by country were performed in this Google Colab program, and the respective results uploaded to the tab "Utility of poultry living time per capita". Poultry production per capita The poultry production per capita between 2025 and 2100 (kg/person/year) was determined from the time-weighted average of those of the following periods: 2025 to 2050: mean between the poultry production per capita in 2025 and 2050. 2050 to 2100: half of the poultry production per capita in 2050. The poultry production per capita in 2025 and 2050 was estimated from the ratio between the poultry production and population. The poultry production was calculated considering: The poultry production by country in 2018 from OWID (see tab "Poultry production"). The poultry production annual growth rate by region, which was estimated by adding the following (see tab "Poultry production annual growth rate"): Poultry population annual growth rate between 2005/2007 an...

A text-generating AI that has been trained with FODI transcripts speaks in conversation with a deepfake AI about violence, conspiracy theories and what it means to be human. Our FODI-trained AI was created using Max Woolf's simplified version of OpenAI's Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 (GPT-2) and Google Colab; Max has created a tutorial so that anyone can train an AI model for free. Semi-Autonomous is a response to Joanna Bourke and Toby Walsh's discussion. Produced by The Festival of Dangerous Ideas, The Ethics Centre and Audiocraft.  

Haritz habla personalmente y no representando a ninguna empresa o institución de ninguna manera. Toda la información aquí descrita es mi interpretación y no necesariamente lo que Haritz quiso decir. Haritz es investigador ciéntifico en el Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing (UKP) Lab en la TU Darmstadt. Fundado en 2009, el UKP es uno de los centros más importantes de investigación en procesamiento del lenguaje natural del mundo. El trabajo de Haritz se ha enfocado en Question Answering, es decir, algoritmos que sirven para contestar preguntas, generar preguntas y graph neural networks. Hizo su maestría en el Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) donde también trabajó en el laboratorio de Information Retrieval (IR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Twitters: @HaritzPuerto @UKPLab Material recomendado por Haritz: - Introduccion a QA por Stanford. - NLP con Deep Learning por Stanford. - Illustrated Transformer por Jay Alammar. - Illustrated BERT por Jay Alammar. Habilidades clave que han llevado a Haritz al éxito: - Trabajo duro. - Estudiar desde el primer día. - Capacidad de adaptación. Consejos para hispanohablantes: - Ser autodidacta. En ML es posible con coursera y tutoriales en internet. - Google Colab para programar. GPUs buenas gratis. - Hacer comunidad en Hugging Face y Kaggle. - Usar Kaggle para poner en practica con problemas reales todo lo aprendido y hacer un portafolio con eso (tutoriales/proyectos personales + Kaggle). - Buen GPA en el pregrado para luego obtener becas para la maestría. - Para posgrados no mirar solo EE.UU, en otros países hay universidades muy buenas con becas. Por ejemplo becas en gobiernos asiáticos o europeos. Algunas cosas interesantes para Haritz: - Cómo producir código limpio y reproducible en ML. - Muchos papers no abren el código y cuando lo abren no es fácil adaptarlo a otros contextos. A veces es difícil reproducir código. Es necesario conseguir que los modelos o códigos puedan ser reproducibles por otras personas. - En la universidad solemos aprender los patrones de ingeniería de software, github, etc. Pero ML es un poco diferente y aunque todo eso también se aplica, hacen falta mas cosas. Por ejemplo, los datasets también tienen versiones pero pueden ocupar mucho espacio. ¿Qué es el Questión Answering (QA) en ML? QA es la tarea de dar una respuesta en texto a una pregunta en texto. Ej. es uno de los módulos de Siri, el asistente de Iphone. Cuando le preguntamos algo a Siri el móvil tiene que convertir nuestra voz en texto. Luego entenderlo y buscar información para responder nuestra pregunta (ir a Wikipedia, por ejemplo) y generar una respuesta corta. Tipos de algoritmos involucrados en el QA: - Antes de 2016 se empleaban sistemas basados en reglas como if/else. - En los últimos años ha evolucionado el campo gracias a las redes neuronales y, sobre todo, BERT ha pertmitido un crecimiento exponencial desde 2018. ¿Qué es MetaQA? - Es un modelo que distribuye y modera las preguntas recibidas entre un conjunto de modelos expertos en diferentes áreas como matemáticas, películas, etc. Así se crea un modelo efectivo sin la necesidad de crear un súper modelo que ocupe más recursos computacionales.

Support our work through: Our courses at Talk Python Training pytest book Patreon Supporters Special guest: Marlene Mhangami Brian #1: readme.so Recommended by Johnny Metz This is not only useful, it’s fun Interactively create a README.md file Suggested sections great There are lots of sections though, so really only pick the ones you are willing to fill in. I think this is nicer than the old stand by of “copying the README.md of another project” because that other project might not have some of these great sections, like: Acknowledgements API Reference Authors FAQ Features Logo Roadmap Usage/Examples Running Tests Note, these sections are listed in alphabetical order, not necessarily the right order for how they should go in your README.md Produces a markdown file you can copy or download Also an editor so you can edit right there. (But I’d probably throw together the skeleton with dummy text and edit it in something with vim emulation. Michael #2: Wafer-scale Python via Galen Swint Many new processors with the sole purpose of accelerating artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads. Cerebras, a chip company, built an AI-oriented chip that is 12”x12” (30cm^2) with 850,000 AI cores on board. Another way to look at it is that’s 2.6T transistors vs. my M1’s 0.0016T. Built through TSMC, as so many things seem to be these days. What’s the Python angle here? A key to the design is the custom graph compiler, that takes PyTorch or TensorFlow and maps each layer to a physical part of the chip, allowing for asynchronous compute as the data flows through. Shipping soon for just $3M+. Marlene #3: RAPIDS This is the library I’m currently working on at NVIDIA. I work specifically on CuDF which is a Python GPU DataFrame library for loading, joining, aggregating, filtering, and manipulating tabular data using a DataFrame style API. It mirrors the Pandas API but operations are done on the GPU I gave a talk at PyCon Sweden a few months ago called ‘A Beginners Guide to GPU’s for Pythonista’s’. Here’s an example of how long it takes for pandas vs. cudf to calculate the mean of a group of numbers in a column in a DataFrame: #we'll be calculating the mean of the data in a dataframe (table) import cudf import pandas as pd import numpy as np import time #lets create a data frame using pandas, that has two columns, a and b #we're generating a dataframe where each column contains one hundred million rows #each row is filled with a random integer that can be between 0 to one hundred million pandas_df = pd.DataFrame({"a": np.random.randint(0, 100000000, size=100000000), "b": np.random.randint(0, 100000000, size=100000000)}) #next we want to create a cudf version of this dataframe cudf_df = cudf.DataFrame.from_pandas(pandas_df) #now we'll use timeit to compare the time it takes to calculate the mean #of the numbers in the column "a" of the dataframe. #Lets time Pandas %timeit pandas_df.a.mean() #Lets time CuDF %timeit cudf_df.a.mean() #These were the results I got (might be a little slower if you're using the notebook on Colab) # pandas: 105 ms ± 298 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each) #cudf: 1.83 ms ± 4.51 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each) You can test this out for right now using the RAPIDS, GPU powered notebook for free on Google Colab. Brian #4: datefinder and dateutil Recommended by Ira Horecka Great calmcode.io video on datefinder Neat use of comprehensions to explore sending a bunch of data into a tool: import datefinder date_strings = [ "March 12 2010", "2010-03-12", "03/12/2010 12:42:12" ] [list(datefinder.find_dates(d)) for d in date_strings] # [[datetime.datetime(2010, 3, 12, 0, 0)], # [datetime.datetime(2010, 3, 12, 0, 0)], # [datetime.datetime(2010, 3, 12, 12, 42, 12)]] Nice focused library, used by 662 projects, according to GitHub datefinder finds dates in strings, then uses dateutil to parse them into datetime objects. dateutil is actually kind of amazing also, great for parsing date strings computing relative delas (next month, last week of the month, etc) relative deltas between date and/or datetimes amazing timezone support comprehensive test suite nice mix of both pytest and unittest. I’ll have to ask Paul Ganssle about that sometime. Michael #5: Cinder - Instagram's performance oriented fork of CPython via Anthony Shaw Instagram's performance oriented fork of CPython. They use a multi-process webserver architecture; the parent process starts, performs initialization work (e.g. loading code), and forks tens of worker processes to handle client requests. The overhead due to copy-on-write from reference counting long-lived objects turned out to be significant. They developed a solution called "immortal instances" to provide a way to opt-out objects from reference counting. "Shadowcode" or “shadow bytecode" is their inline caching implementation. It observes particular optimizable cases in the execution of generic Python opcodes and (for hot functions) dynamically replaces those opcodes with specialized versions. Eager coroutine evaluation: If a call to an async function is immediately awaited, we immediately execute the called function up to its first await. The Cinder JIT is a method-at-a-time custom JIT implemented in C++. And can achieve 1.5-4x speed improvements on many Python performance benchmarks. Strict modules is a few things rolled into one Static Python is an experimental bytecode compiler that makes use of type annotations to emit type-specialized and type-checked Python bytecode. Static Python plus Cinder JIT achieves 7x the performance of stock CPython on a typed version of the Richards benchmark. Marlene #6: PyCon US 2021 PyCon US starts today. Its the largest gathering of the Python community on earth! I’ll be hosting the Diversity and Inclusion Work Group Meet and Greet. I recently became the chair of this WG, which focuses on helping increase global diversity and inclusion in the python community. We’ll be going live on the main stage at PyCon on Saturday 15 May at 12pm EST. There will be lots of time for discussion, so I hope to see some of you there! I’ll also be hosting the PSF EMEA members meeting, which will be on Saturday at 10am CAT. You can register on the Meet up page or watch the livestream on the PSF Youtube channel. You can also find me in the PSF booth on Friday and Saturday morning, if you’d like to meet there!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.10.06.327684v1?rss=1 Authors: Kim, J. Abstract: The development of noninvasive neuroimaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging was followed by a large volume of human neuroimaging studies of mental processes, mechanisms, and diseases. Due to the high volume of studies and the large number of journals, it is increasingly challenging for neuroscientists to review existing scholarly journals and find the most suitable journal to publish their studies. Therefore, this paper proposes a scholarly journal recommendation model for human neuroimaging studies called brain activation-based filtering (BAF). Based on the collective matrix factorization technique, BAF recommends journals relevant to the activated brain regions that are described in a given neuroimaging study. For instance, if social brain regions such as the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, precuneus, and temporoparietal junction are activated in a study, BAF recommends relevant social neuroscience journals (e.g., Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience). Five-fold cross-validation shows that BAF predicts journals with a reliable area under the curve score of 0.855. Furthermore, an interactive Google Colab notebook is offered to recommend relevant journals for a novel human neuroimaging study (https://github.com/JunsolKim/brain-activation-based-filtering).

In den nächsten Wochen bis zum 20.2.2020 möchte Anna Hein, Studentin der Wissenschaftskommunikation am KIT, eine Studie im Rahmen ihrer Masterarbeit über den Podcast Modellansatz durchführen. Dazu möchte sie gerne einige Interviews mit Ihnen, den Hörerinnen und Hörern des Podcast Modellansatz führen, um herauszufinden, wer den Podcast hört und wie und wofür er genutzt wird. Die Interviews werden anonymisiert und werden jeweils circa 15 Minuten in Anspruch nehmen. Für die Teilnahme an der Studie können Sie sich bis zum 20.2.2020 unter der Emailadresse studie.modellansatz@web.de bei Anna Hein melden. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn sich viele Interessenten melden würden. Gudrun sprach im Januar 2020 mit drei Studenten ihrer Vorlesung Mathematical Modelling and Simulation: Samory Gassama, Lennart Harms und David Schneiderhan. Sie hatten in ihrem Projekt Gruppenentscheidungen modelliert. In dem Gespräch geht es darum, wie man hierfür mathematische Modelle findet, ob man Wahlsysteme fair gestalten kann und was sie aus den von ihnen gewählten Beispielen gelernt haben. Wie lassen sich Entscheidungen von Wählergruppen fair in demokratische Willensbildung einbringen? Mit diesem Thema beschäftigt sich u.a. auch die Volkswirtschaftslehre. Die dafür benutzten Modelle sollten einige Eigenschaften haben. Ein grundlegendes Kriterium wäre beispielsweise: Wenn alle der gleichen Meinung sind, sollte diese Meinung auch immer die Gruppenentscheidung sein. Ein weiteres Kriterum könnte verlangen, dass das Ergebnis Pareto-optimal ist, es also kein anderes Ergebnis gibt, mit dem jedes Gruppenmitglied zufriedener wäre. Um die Präferenz der Gruppe auszudrücken, führen die Studenten die Wohlfahrtsfunktion ein. Das ist eine Abbildung, welche als Input die Präferenzen der einzelnen Wähler verknüpft. Das Wahlverfahren wird sozusagen in dieser Abbildung modelliert. Man wünscht sich Anonymität: Jede Stimme sollte gleich gewertet werden. Neutralität: Wenn die Relationen im Input invertiert werden, bewirkt dies das Selbe beim Output. Monotonie: Falls eine Relation aus dem Input, welche nicht den Präferenzen des Outputs entspricht, sich zur Präferenzrelation des Outputs ändert, bleibt dieser gleich. Verfahren wie Rangaddition und Condorcet-Methode sind klassisch und erfüllen leider nicht alle diese Bedingungen. Die Studenten fügen eine weitere Entscheidungsebene im Modell hinzu. Man nennt dies geschachtelte Wahl. Als Beispiele dienen die US Präsidentschaftswahl 2016 und der Eurovision Song Contest 2019. Bei den Präsidentschaftswahlen in den VereinigtenStaaten von Amerika, wird der Präsident von den Wahlleuten der Bundesstaaten für eine Amtszeit bestimmt. Jeder Bundesstaat hat unterschiedlich viele Wahlleute. Die Wahlberechtigten legen unmittelbar nur die Wahlleute fest. Deshalb ist das Modell der US Präsidentschaftswahlen ist ein geschachteltes Modell. Im ersten Schritt, werden in allen 52 Staaten die Wahlen, mit den US Bürgern des jeweiligen Staates als Wähler, mithilfe des Condorcet Modells durchgeführt. Im zweiten Schritt bilden eben jene 52 Staaten die neue Wählermenge, welche dann über eine gewichtete Rangaddition den endgültigen Präsidenten bestimmt. Die Studenten haben im Projekt zwei Datensätze verwendet, um die Präsidentschaftswahlen 2016 in den USA zwischen Donald Trump und Hillary Clinton zu simulieren. Sie geben die Anzahl der Stimmen für Donald Trump und Hillary Clinton in den verschiedenen Wahlbezirken der USA an. Um die Simulation durchzuführen, wurde Google Colab verwendet. Die benutzte Programmiersprache ist Python. Die Wahl wurde folgendermaßen simuliert: Man summiert die Anzahl der Stimmen für alle Kandidaten in jedem Staat. Anschließend vergleicht man die Anzahl der Stimmen für Trump und Clinton in jedem Bundesstaat. Dem Gewinner eines Staates werden die Anzahl der Wahlleute dieses Bundesstaates in das Endergebnis addiert. Zum Schluss werden die Anzahl der Wahlleute, welche für die Kandidaten gestimmt haben verglichen. Trump gewinnt die Wahlen in 30 Bundesstaaten und Clinton in 20 Bundesstaaten, genauer gesagt erhält Trump 304 Wahlleute und Clinton 227. Somit wäre gewinnt Trump gegen Clinton. Alternativ zum geschachtelten Modell, wird anschließend die Abstimmungsmethode direkt auf alle Wahlstimmen angewandt. Dabei erhält Trump 62.984.828 Stimmen, während Clinton 65.853.514 bekommt. Bei diesem Verfahren gewinnt Clinton gegen Trump. Im Gespräch wird besprochen, dass es ein Problem ist, wenn bei recht knappem Wahlausgang pro Bundesstaat eine "Rundung" auf Wahlleute erfolgt und diese dann addiert wird. Im Vergleich hierzu kann es bei vielen Parteien auch durch Instrumente wie die 5%-Hürde, die wir in Deutschland implementiert haben, zu unfairen Effekten kommen. Die Regeln beim Eurovision Song Contest sind wie folgt: Aus den Televoting-Ergebnissen und den Jurywertungen jedes einzelnen Landes setzt sich das Gesamtergebnis für alle Teilnehmenden zusammen. Die besten zehn Titel werden mit eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, zehn und zwölf Punkten bewertet. Dabei werden die Jury- und Zuschauerwertungen seit 2016 voneinander getrennt. Jedes Land kann einem Teilnehmenden also bis zu 24 Punkte geben - zwölf durch die Jury, zwölf durch die Zuschauer. Wenn zwei Songs auf die gleiche Punktzahl kommen, bekommt das Land die höhere Punktzahl, das vom Publikum höher bewertet wurde. Abgesehen davon, dass es sich auch hierbei wieder um ein geschachteltes Modell handelt, werden hierbei auch noch die gewichtete Rangaddition und ein externes Diktator Modell verwendet.
