Royzen: AI dev tools do not need to own the IDE
“Somewhere where I disagree with him is that you need to own the IDE. I think like he made kind of some good points about, you know, not having platform risk in the long term, but some of the, you know, features that were mentioned, like suggesting diffs, for e…”
Royzen: Fine-tuned open source models will beat proprietary in 2024
“So I think that even if a delta exists, in twenty-twenty-four, the delta between proprietary and open source won't be large enough that a startup like us, with a lot of data that we've collected, can take the data that we have, fine-tune an open source model, …”
Royzen: GPT-4 was trained on HumanEval, proving data contamination
“GPT-IV itself has been trained on human eval, and we know this because GPT-IV is able to predict the exact doc string in many of the problems. I've seen it predict, like, the specific example values in the doc string, which is extremely improbable for it to ju…”

Royzen: Users switch to Phind when ChatGPT-4 fails on code
“What really shocks us is that a lot of the people who do that they're coming from ChatGPT. So they tried it in ChatGPT with ChatGPT-IV. It didn't work. Maybe it required like some multi-step reasoning. Maybe it required to like, Some internet context or someth…”
