Phind 2: AI search with visual answers and multi-step reasoning
Hi HN! Michael here. We've spent the last 6 months rebuilding Phind. We asked ourselves what types of answers we would ideally like and crafted a new UI and model series to help get us there. Our new 70B is completely different from the one we launched a year ago.<p>The new Phind goes beyond text to present answers visually with inline images, diagrams, cards, and other widgets to make answers more meaningful:<p>- "<i>explain photosynthesis</i>" - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTCpnyICukM#t=7" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTCpnyICukM#t=7</a><p>- "<i>how to cook the perfect steak</i>" - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTCpnyICukM#t=55" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTCpnyICukM#t=55</a><p>- "<i>quicksort in rust</i>" - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTCpnyICukM#t=105" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTCpnyICukM#t=105</a><p>Phind is also now able to seek out information on its own. If it needs more, it will do multiple rounds of additional searches to get you a more comprehensive answer:<p>- "<i>top 10 Thai restaurants in SF, their prices, and key dishes</i>" - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIQQcDIIHFQ#t=11" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIQQcDIIHFQ#t=11</a><p>It can also perform calculations, visualize their results, and verify them in a Jupyter notebook:<p>- "<i>simulate 100 coin flips and make graphs</i>" - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP3PZ4MKGCg#t=8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP3PZ4MKGCg#t=8</a><p>- "<i>train a perceptron neural network using Jupyter</i>" - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP3PZ4MKGCg#t=45" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP3PZ4MKGCg#t=45</a><p>This blog post contains an overview of what we did as well as technical deep dives into how we built the new frontend and models.<p>I'm super grateful for all of the feedback we've gotten from this community and can't wait to hear your thoughts!
