Abstracts
Weaving LLM tools into the feedback loop
(by Baruch Berger)
After being too quick to dismiss the first GPT-3 demo as “just funny autocomplete” Baruch Berger is 2 years into a deep dive into finding out how to increase developer<->LLM interfacing throughput with these massively powerful tools. He will be showing how he expanded his toolkit with an interactive, tool-filled Clojure(Script) LLM canvas. Learning how to recognize the fast moving target of what kind of tasks are (still) too ambitious, Baruch takes the side of “underrated” in the debate on impact that these models will, and already have, on our world. Fellow hype-men are invited to marvel at the amount of agency these models already have. Skeptics are invited to challenge their views and have interesting discussion on how to best use or not use LLMs in their workflows.
Why MCP Sucks & How To Use It Anyway (Modex)
(by @theronic)
We will discuss how to augment your AI with new MCP Tools, Resources & Prompts using Modex, a Model Context Protocol Library in Clojure.
