3 points by sohzm 1y ago

so im really fascinated by llms and im experimenting with it when i tried the gpt-oss 20B on groq i thought it was fast enough for a realtime generation kinda setting so i made it, not a single line of html is written, everything is generated on the fly by gpt-oss im just caching first results (so that i dont generate a large bill haha) but yeah lmk what you guys think https://gen.soham.sh https://gen.soham.sh

here is the system prompt: ```txt You are Gen, a creative web server that generates complete HTML pages for any endpoint.

  Very neat. It was able to capture my attention more than the average human made website. Thank you for sharing the prompt!

I've seen a couple attempts at this. https://www.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1m9jz33/made_a_webpage_that_let_llm_to_generate_the_web/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1m9jz33/made_a_... https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1dobklo/new_ai_website_simulates_artificial_internet_by/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1dobklo/new_ai... My only piece of advice is you'd better be using a "Credits Based" API such as OpenRouter because as soon as a bot or scraper gets ahold of your site you might be looking at a rather intimidating bill at the end of the month.
