why not write all code in assembly?

didn't expect someone to post us here yet, we're still working on our launch! We have been building BAML for around 3 years -- originally it was a DSL for getting structured outputs from llms using what we call 'llm functions

these painpoints seem moot in a world where AI agents are writing all the code.

kind of surprised Swift didn't launch with this by default, built in-house

this is really neat. Was using or-tools to solve my friend's scheduling problems with coworkers.

We are working on making our programming language BAML turing-complete. https://github.com/boundaryml/baml It is a language that is embeddable in other programming languages, with the type system similar to typescript,

It's 'basically, a made-up language'. It's just tongue-in-cheek because when we started this it was just a ridiculous proposition to try and make a DSL. I'll add it in!

You may also want to check out BAML https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml - a DSL for prompt templates that are literally treated like functions. the prompt.yaml format (which this project uses) suffers from the fact that

super interesting to see how this is marketed: - Created by an AWS team but aws logo is barely visible at the bottom. - Actually cute logo and branding. - Focuses on the lead devs front and center (which HN loves). Makes it seem less like a

We're making a prompting DSL (BAML https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml ) and what we've found is that all the syntax rules can easily be encoded into a Cursor Rules file, which we find LLMs can follow nicely.

You might also find Semantic Streaming interesting. It's t he same concept but applied to llm token streaming. It's used in BAML (the ai framework). https://www.boundaryml.com/blog/semantic-streaming I'm

it's kind of wild -- none of the multimillion dollar VSCode forks (Cursor, windsurf) are working properly at the moment. It seems open-vsx is quite a vulnerable single point of failure. Searching extensions gives a 503.

It's kind of insane going from 76% to 3% on the new version of a benchmark. We clearly need more rapid progress on the creation of benchmarks. Then again, I wonder -- if a benchmark is way too hard from the beginning, would it make it

Sometimes you don't have access to a model, so this approach still works in that scenario. We also have several users that have anecdotally told us they get worse results using constrained grammar solutions.

Thanks, we also do support swapping models at runtime! Will incorporate this feedback.

How do you organize your prompts? Do you use a templating language like jinja? How complex are your prompts? Do you have any open source examples? I’m genuinely curious since if we can convince someone like you that BAML is amazing we’re on

I found it interesting how DSPy created the Signatures concept: https://dspy.ai/learn/programming/signatures/ We took this kind of concept all the way to making a DSL called BAML, where prompts look like lite

First off, this is amazing. Imagine where this will be in 5 or 10 years. There's just so many questions: Will videogames eventually just be a single prompt (or a series of prompts / a general script) into a transformer model? Woul

One of the issues with LLMs is that each function needs to be tested and observed more thoroughly than regular functions, which leads to these UIs to figure out what the heck is actually going on. For our DSL (BAML https://github

thanks for the shoutout, we benchmarked our approach against other function-calling techniques and we've been able to beat all other approaches every time (even by 8%!) just by getting better at parsing the data and representing schema
