One thing I've learned building production RAG systems: Retrieval quality matters just as much as the LLM. You can use an extremely capable model and still get terrible answers if you're feeding it irrelevant context. Better retrieval > blindly upgrading models.

In some beautiful parallel universe, Vue.js is the prominent component library and devs are using HTML-based template syntax instead of JSX.

Replying to @hilbertspaess
The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.
