I wanted a way to benchmark a bunch of LLMs from the CLI.

Wrapped @simonwillison.net’s llm library + had it ingest a config file specifying the models you want. It'll run them async (if the plugin supports it) and write the results out to JSON so you can review/eval/process.

When one of the PMs on the team *builds a macOS app* that uses Workers AI to auto-transcribe notes from any system process, summarize them, and do it all privately within your own Cloudflare account 😎

Case in point: I like AI for prototyping, but… are we headed towards a monoculture because that’s all our tools support?

Do other libraries stand a chance? Do we get to try out new ideas?

I’m hoping the next big advance in LLMs enables more real-time knowledge (that isn’t just function calling).

Swapped from iTerm 2 -> Ghostty. Super minimal config. Liking it so far: it really does just work + feel native.

Just added the (brand new!) support for Llama 3.3 70B in WorkersAI to llm-cloudflare

$ llm install llm-cloudflare

93 games played and 18% of folks got it first try. Not bad, but just wait until I publish the next Workers trivia game 😎

One of my favorite JS libraries is p-map (github.com/sindresorhus...) — it allows you to concurrently map over Promises, rate limit them & handle failure.

I find it especially useful when writing @cloudflare.social Workflows: each invocation of the mapper creates a unique step on-the-fly:

Still using @zed.dev as my daily driver. I am (of course) curious how they plan to drive revenue long-term and foster a sustainable extension ecosystem vs. VS Code.

Also keen to see how the AI assistant integration evolves: I think that's the winning part but the space moves *fast*.
