Prototaxites was a massive, trunk-like organism (up to ~8m tall, ~1m wide) that dominated land ~420–370 million years ago, long before trees or complex plants existed. It looked like a tree, but chemical evidence suggests it didn’t photosynthesize. Internally it was made of interwoven microscopic tubes, unlike plant tissue. It’s often described as a giant fungus, but it doesn’t cleanly match modern fungi either, and some researchers think it may represent an entirely extinct branch of eukaryotic life. In other words, early “forests” may have been dominated by something we don’t have a modern analog for.
Batch requests take up to 24h but cut costs by ~50%. Features include structured outputs, automatic cost tracking, state resume after interruptions, and citation support (Anthropic only for now).
It's open-source, feedback/contributions welcome!
What are the pros and cons? Aren't you afraid that it makes the SaaS offering less enticing, especially to highly technical people (which seems like might be a big chunk of your potential users)?
Hoping for: - Better pricing for public apps. - Better ability to easily customize the frontend design without touching CSS/HTML/JS.
Imagine you could run teams of marketing/sales/support ai-agents and focus on your core business. "The next 1B, 1 Person companies".
Just 15 years ago you'd need teams of 10+ people to do basic ml tasks you could do today. Now you have an LLM or a SaaS service that outperforms those teams for the fraction of the cost.

It also explains how to use them IRL and why.
This is a blueprint on how to have checks in the CI, it took me sometime to build and get working - do you know anything that does this out of the box? Thanks for the feedback eitherway!
Including a tl;dr, pros, cons, tools & players, and a forecast.
The creator of io_uring Jens was super nice and also reviewed it (I'm still a bit in shock).
"WebGPU was first published in mid-2021 (super new!), so it isn’t fully supported on browsers (also shows how you can enable it) yet".
My main goal is to bring this new technology into attention, I don't intend nor do I have any incentive to recommend people using it in production. Sorry if that wasn't completely clear.
Ps Unzip is a summary/intro not an "in indepth article". I try to summarize concepts. But thanks to whoever posted, appreciated either way.
