Shreya Rajpal, founder of Snowglobe, explains feature demand from product teams who want persistent persona libraries for continuous integration testing.
“Today, all personas are net new, but this is our number one requested feature, which is I want to be able to, you know, like maybe this, maybe some product leader already has a set of like personas that they want to test again. So I want to bring those, be able to bring those in, or I just want to create like a repository or a library of Personas I reuse, you know, like, every time I run this in my CI CD.”

Rajpal: Foundation models rarely generate toxic outputs without explicit jailbreaks
“Most of the stuff that the frameworks will recommend is actually stuff that the model providers are already working on. So toxicity, unless you're doing, unless somebody is very explicitly trying to jailbreak what you've built, you know, you won't run into the…”
