If anyone is looking to retrofit to an existing pipeline, I use similar ideas to compress vectors for job search, getting roughly 8x compression with about a 3.5% drop in quality. My experiment: https://corvi.careers/blog&#x

Suppose I write a distributed algorithm in Rust. To verify it, I might describe the algorithm again in TLA+, model-check that specification, and prove that it satisfies the properties I care about. Now I have two artifacts: TLA+ specificati

Just a minor suggestion if applicable: My site didn't pick up your listing - Corvi has a direct integration with Ashby. I recommend enabling all of job boards in integrations to get your posting to job search engines beyond popular one
