Do you know what NPS is? That's how the comment started. Patients like it. Because the alternative is to stay on hold for 20+ minutes, and then get it wrong. (Or have no pharmacies except Optum's and Express Scripts). Good for you

https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/abs/10.1377/hlthaff.2024.0... Of the 88,930 retail pharmacies operating during 2010–20, 29.4 percent had closed by 2021.

NPS typically improves because no one stays on hold for 20+ mins anymore. People have no ideas have pharmacies work. Pharmacies don't control how much they pay for drug, or how much they get paid. The margins are terrible and you can&#

So - I run a company that does AI agents for pharmacy. We are at Series B now and growing well - series C in 9-12 months given growth. We just acquired a competitor of that vendor so very much an insider. First, The technology works, and it

I can’t believe this has 1 point, and buried. This is great find, very juicy, and would kill a few hot startups.

Basically- the same math as modern automated manufacturing. Super expensive and complex build-out - then a money printer once running and optimized. I know there is lots of bearish sentiments here. Lots of people correctly point out that th

We have been running this playbook for the last 2 years in healthcare, and we have been super successful. Doubling every quarter over the last year. 70%+ profitability, almost 7 figures of revenue. 100% bootstrapped. People are still mental

One of the most pleasant experiences I had writing code, is early AI days when we did hyperscript SSE. Super locality of behavior, super interesting way of writing Server Sent Events code. eventsource demo from http://server&#x2F

Lots of YC companies copy each other process and selection criteria. Basically- they all have the same blind spots and look for the same type of engineer. So, super easy to scam all of them with the same skillset and mannerism.

I send this article as part of onboarding for all new devs we hire. It is super great to keep a fast growing team from falling into the typical cycle of more people, more complexity.

The “equivalent” here would be Jina-Clip (architecture-wise), not necessarily performance. The ColPali paper(1) does a good job explaining why you don’t really want to directly use vision embeddings; and how you are much better off optimizi

So, there is a whole world with vision based RAG/search. We have a good open-source repo here with a ColPali implementation: https://github.com/tjmlabs/ColiVara

Great work! Honestly it helps so much just explaining these metrics for folks. Early on RAG was an art, now when things are stabilized a bit, it’s more of a science - and vendors should at a minimum have some benchmarks.

I would like to through our project in the ring. We use ColQwen2 over a ColPali implementation. Basically, search & extract pipeline: https://docs.colivara.com/guide/markdown

Here is a nice use-case. Put this in a pharmacy - have people hit a button, and ask questions about over-the-counter medications. Really - any physical place where people are easily overwhelmed, have something like that would be really nice

Hi HN! We benchmarked two ways to improve the latency in RAG workflows with a multi-vector setup. Hybrid search using Postgres native capabilities and a relatively new method of token pooling. Token pooling unlocked up to 70% faster latency

So - the synthetic QAs datasets in the Vidore datasets are exactly like that 90% text, 10% charts/tables. OCR + BM25 is at ~90% NCDG@5 which is pretty decent. ColPali/Ours is at ~98%. It is a small upgrade, but one nonetheless. Th

I would like to throw our project in the ring that solves this problem: https://github.com/tjmlabs/ColiVara 1. Uses half-vecs, so you cut down everything by half with no recall loss 2. Uses token pooling with hierarch

I will do it - you are right. Lots of materials in the space is basically people selling their complex tools w/ learning as a lower priority

I would strongly advise against people learning based on LangChain. It is abstraction hell, and will set you back thousands of engineers hours the moment you want to do something differently. RAG is actually very simple thing to do; just to

I would check out vision models as a technique to go around OCR errors. ColPali is the standard implementation & SOTA. Much better than OCR. We maintain a ready to go retrieval API that implements this: https://github.com&#x2

If you are interested in that space, would throw our project in the mix which uses ColPali under the hood transparently. https://github.com/tjmlabs/ColiVara The main benchmark for this is the Vidore leaderboard. Where
