22 Aug 2024 Latent Space Is finetuning GPT4o worth it? — with Alistair Pullen, Cosine (Genie)
“Honestly, people who are just willing to try something new, like the Genie UX is, is different to a conventional IDE, give it a chance, like that what we really do believe in this whole idea of like developers work is going to be abstracted, you know, levels higher than just the code, we still let you touch the code, we still want you to dive into the code if you need to, but Fundamentally, we think that if you're trying to offload the coding to a model, the model should do the coding and you should be in charge of guiding the model.”

…Awesome. Calls to action. Uh, I assume you're hiring. I assume you're also looking for customers. What's the ideal customer, ideal employee? On the customer side. Honestly, people who are just willing to try something new, like the Genie UX is, is different to a conventional IDE, give it a chance, like that what we really do believe in this whole idea of like developers work is going to be abstracted, you know, levels higher than just the code, we still let you touch the code, we still want you to dive into the code if you need to, but Fundamentally, we think that if you're trying to offload the coding to a model, the model should do the coding and you should be in charge of guiding the model. So people who are willing to give something new a chance. Size of company and honestly, well, preferably the languages that are the most represented in our, in our training. So like anyway, if you're like doing TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, that sort of thing. And in terms of size of company, like, so long as you're willing to try it, um, and there aren't any massive, like, infosec things that get in the way, like, it doesn't really matter. Like, code base size can be arbitrary for us. We can deal with any code base size, and essentially any language, but your mileage may vary. But for the most part, like, anyone who's willing to give it a try is the ideal customer. And on the employee front end, you're Honestly, we just want people who, um, we're going to be hiring both on like what we call like the traditional tech side. So like building the product essentially, and also hiring really heavily on the AI machine learning, um, data set side as well. And in both cases, essentially what we just wanted, like really passionate people who are obsessed with something and are really passionate about something and are willing to. It sounds so corny, but like, join us in what we're trying to do. Like, we have a very big ambition and we're biting off a very large problem here. And people who can look at what we've done so far and be like, wow, that's really impressive. I want to do that kind of work. I want to be pushing the boundaries. I want to be dealing with experimental stuff all the time. But at the same time, be putting it in people's hands and shipping it to people and so on. So if that sounds, you know, amenable to anyone, that's the kind of person we're looking to apply. Excellent. Any last words, any Trump impressions that you, did you like the…
