Show HN: GPT-4-powered web searches for developers
Hi HN,<p>Today we’re launching GPT-4 answers on Phind.com, a developer-focused search engine that uses generative AI to browse the web and answer technical questions, complete with code examples and detailed explanations. Unlike vanilla GPT-4, Phind feeds in relevant websites and technical documentation, reducing the model’s hallucination and keeping it up-to-date. To use it, simply enable the “Expert” toggle before doing a search.<p>GPT-4 is making a night-and-day difference in terms of answer quality. For a question like “How can I RLHF a LLaMa model”, Phind in Expert mode delivers a step-by-step guide complete with citations (<a href="https://phind.com/search?cache=0fecf96b-0ac9-4b65-893d-8ea5708db222">https://phind.com/search?cache=0fecf96b-0ac9-4b65-893d-8ea57...</a>) while Phind in default mode meanders a bit and answers the question very generally (<a href="https://phind.com/search?cache=dd1fe16f-b101-4cc8-8089-ac56defb228d">https://phind.com/search?cache=dd1fe16f-b101-4cc8-8089-ac56d...</a>).<p>GPT-4 is significantly more concise and “systematic” in its answers than our default model. It generates step-by-step instructions over 90% of the time, while our default model does not.<p>We’re particularly focused on ML developers, as Phind can answer questions about many recent ML libraries, papers, and technologies that ChatGPT simply cannot. Even with ChatGPT’s alpha browsing mode, Phind answers technical questions faster and in more detail.<p>For example, Phind running on “Expert” GPT-4 mode can concisely and correctly tell you how to run an Alpaca model using llama.cpp: (<a href="https://phind.com/search?cache=0132c27e-c876-4f87-a0e1-cc48f07ccc20">https://phind.com/search?cache=0132c27e-c876-4f87-a0e1-cc48f...</a>). In contrast, ChatGPT-4 hallucinates and writes a make function for a fictional llama.cpp.<p>We still have a long way to go and would love to hear your feedback.
