The landgrab going on in this space is ferocious. If you weren't convinced this is mania, and a 10M "seed" round for Langchain doesn't do it for you, nothing will. Well done Harrison on the cash grab (take as much money

Hah, ChatGPT has successfully poisoned the well. Well done sama. This lib is great work, a JS interface for running HF models. The comments about how "bad" the outputs are as surprising to me as they are alarming. OAI has now set
