I do digital health and innovation in Aotearoa currently spending lots of time with Agents. Reckons my own unless they are crap and then they can be yours.
@simonwillison.net - thinking a fair bit about AI quality and safety but there seems to be a dearth of practical/automated tools/approaches for assessing this in a targeted way (benchmarks/performance in standardised tests are general performance approaches). Any thoughts?

Also got chatting to some SLTs who are interested in LLMs and text/speech/text models today for communication boards and video swallows.

So turns out the future is IF statements and Loops where the actions are prompts for LLMs/other large models.

On another note loving the addition of vector stores to our azure open ai toolset - thinking about vector stores by specialty and task for our #aiscribe

Kua hinga te tōtara o Te Waonui a Tāne.

My friend Dougal Thorburn died last week and I found out today. I last saw him a couple of months ago when we talked about his house reno and his long recovery from Covid. He was a caring, wonderful guy and a great GP for many in Porirua, I will miss him.
