125 sats \ 4 replies \ @Scoresby OP 7 Oct \ parent \ on: How to turn LLM Pinocchio into a real boy AI
This was something I has trouble wrapping my head around: for such a process to be effective, wouldn't the living prompt file grow pretty large?
In my mental model, I was thinking of the model's parameters as hard drive and the prompt as RAM, and my assumption was prompts couldn't grow large because the prompt has to be run through the model at every pass. So a very large prompt would make each pass require more compute. It is possible that I've misunderstood something, though.
PS: I got inspired by this argument so I used my remaining Claude 4.5 token moneys to let it write documentation for
nostr-tools. For my next vibe coding experiment - maybe the coming weekend - I will instruct an LLM to use these docs to write a lil nostr reposter bot for ~AI posts.% (find docs/nips -name "*.md" && find docs/getting-started -name "*.md") | xargs wc -l

It also wrapped it in a
vitepress thingy so it could also help humans. But I'm not going to read all that slop, nor publish it. Looks pretty tho.reply
tools not personas. I'm still working on getting this idea firmly in my head. I'll get there eventually.

I'm working on the longer post I promised @BlokchainB on this. Will probably sleep on it though, because I want it to at least be watertight and needleproof against my own scrutiny before y'all tear it down lol

Yes. Feature not bug. More tokens = more moneys. So you better clean it up and reset that context window sometimes.
The alternative is searchable instructions, see also #1250028 from yesterday, which shows a clear way forward.
All you need is a well-tuned LLM that implements a process, not a persona.
