- It should be possible to run on Mac via https://github.com/mmastrac/diffgemma, but I'm at rustconf right now and I can't download weights on hotel wifi easily.by mmastrac
- Pre-LLMs Steve Krug wrote "Don't make me think" Now we come to a generation of random UIs that will confuse the life out of users and, being non deterministic, be a nightmare for support teams; though they'll probably have no real support, just more llms.by pcdevils
- Someone steel man the case for users actually wanting to be a UI designer for the application they pay you for.by hatefulheart
- I've been thinking for a while that something like this could be a solution for the suboptimal UX in the digital assets space.
Imagine a very small LLM embedded into a MetaMask equivalent where you just specify the task you want to do - ie, "I want to send USDT on mainnet", "I want to import the token at address 0x..." - and the wallet assembles the UX for this task for the human to execute.

- I think there is a big misunderstanding in the space around what Gen UI is and what its used for. Lots of folks refer to it as a framework for building web apps - its not. Gen UI is a DSL for LLM to build UIs on the fly in a multi turn converstation - those are - throw away, one off interfaces or visualization. The reason for the DSL is pragmatism - standardisation and token savings.
The html/css/js or a react app built by an LLM is not Gen UI.
by piterrro - Remember when everything was iSomething? The original iPod and iPhone created a real trend back then.
Seems like many AI products ride the same wave now. Open WebUI, OpenHands, OpenUI. I am a bit more dubious about this affiliation, though.
by alentred - The most interesting part about this for me is that they decided to create their own language or DSL for the task at hand. So it's not just a large language model; it's an LLM with its own language.
I have a feeling that the best AI systems to come will, in fact, be a complete package like this: a harness, a DSL, and an entire package designed to produce certain outcomes cheaper and faster.
And producing that complete package is why software engineering will not be obsolete.
