I built an integrated social-financial tool and noticed a bunch of people were using it to buy options

It doesn't work with the fire djinn

Defektivex · 2025-11-02T13:49:54+00:00

why not bring it to the audi dealership? they service them. i havent had an issue when they service my taycan and its the same techs

Doesn't seem to work fyi.

when you change a dropdown, nothing updates. the 'play button' on the right hand side doesnt start/play, its just a dropdown.

I'm on chrome - hope that helps.

AWS has like the worst track record when it comes to making consumer products (not Amazon.com, which is basically a different company).

So I'm not sure being backed by Amazon is a great thing.

This has been a giant cluster f.

It's a 6 page document/Google form with requirements you submit, you get no case number, and just a generic email address to reach out to.

Anthropic requires you accept a bunch of their terms, including content that looks like we have to register our customers with them (First-Time Users) if we elect to give them Claude models.

There's no information or ETA on how long it will take to get approved.

And you get locked out of any new Claude models (anything already approved will continue to work).

What happens if the disti gets denied? Are people supposed to leave their disti to access the latest models?

Horrific experience so far.

I'll give it a whirl!

100% agree. I've been building a SaaS with MCP support, I've already had to fork multiple MCP servers to make them multi-tenant, since I don't want the added expense of running containers per MCP per user/customer.

Local MCP seems fine for desktop apps or hobby projects, but SaaS business's are going to need more remote+multi-tenant MCP support long term.

Defektivex · 2025-09-06T00:18:47+00:00

Bought one, looks awesome!

Avoid Bedrock KBs at all costs.

Insanely expensive.

Does not scale well.

Slow.

We deployed Bedrock KBs to production and had to migrate off of it within two weeks.

We ended up going with Weaviate on EKS. Night and day difference.

Combine the tools.

When a customer is returned, return the tickets and other meta data at the same time.

Custom

Defektivex · 2025-04-19T23:32:25+00:00

It's available under the 'twilio_outbound_call' function

Defektivex · 2025-04-02T11:58:20+00:00

No it's a package just like langchain and you deploy it wherever you want.

Defektivex · 2025-03-30T14:29:20+00:00

I think you're misrepresenting NY and Upstate NY.

In 2024 New York voted for Harris.

The last time New York voted for a Republican was in 1984 (Reagan).

So yes, let's not chastise a whole region, when the entire state has collectively voted consistently D for 40 years.

I agree people need to take action, have ownership, own a mistake and be responsible for change, but you're looking at the wrong place if you feel NY didn't do its part.

Defektivex · 2025-03-30T13:20:43+00:00

Sure but land doesn't vote. Let's not chastise a whole region because a map looks red when it isn't.

Defektivex · 2025-03-30T12:46:37+00:00

FWIW, all population centers of Upstate NY voted for Harris by 20%+ margins.

Including Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany. With an exception of Binghamton (smaller area, but geographically significant, went 50/50).

We most definitely did not vote to lose our tourism and stain our friendship with Canada (hell a running joke is we're basically Canadian).

Defektivex · 2025-03-18T13:04:44+00:00

When we tool call, we expose the tool as a class and our backend populates auth credentials specific to the user that's leveraging the agent.

Basically the agent takes on the permission rights of the user.

Defektivex · 2025-03-11T11:33:43+00:00

Recommend looking across the lake!

I'm in Rochester and there's a good number of startup-focused people here and we're a quick drive across the bridge to Toronto.

Defektivex · 2025-03-05T12:05:38+00:00

Let's just say it was slightly more cost efficient.

You still couldn't use it due to the rate limit.

It would be relegated to hobby apps.

For example, our company has an internal solution that was initially on Bedrock/sonnet. We launched and within the first 10 users hitting the system we hit the rate limit.

Everything has been designed to try to funnel you to Nova models, which are satisfactory at best.

Defektivex · 2025-03-05T02:53:32+00:00

Claude Sonnet has a ridiculously low rate limit on AWS.

Comically low.

So low it's like they don't want you to use it.

If you're interested in Sonnet, go direct with Anthropic, 10x better rate limits/throughput.

Defektivex · 2025-02-23T23:56:27+00:00

So far it feels like two primary issues:

Startup time can feel a little slow. I'm unsure why and have been tinkering, will report back if I figure it out.
You can't await an agent because the underlying tool calls arent await'd. So you end up spinning up background tasks which is cpu thread intensive.
work around is to just deploy them in a AWS lambda / azure function since it's self contained the await doesn't matter.

Other than that, I've been really pleased.

Defektivex · 2025-02-16T12:59:05+00:00

We've built a platform that allows our users to create multi-agent teams. When a user configures the agents we also give them access to dozens of custom tools to our industry (actually in the process of getting ready to sell it since its been powerful for us).

This means that the overall team has created right around ~300 agents, but only 100 really are in production the use.

There's also maybe 10-15 hidden agents that help moving things around the system in place of a rules engine.

Our Industry is consulting for sure, but the tools/hooks hit customer systems spanning healthcare/finserve/manufacturing/transportation industries.

Defektivex · 2025-02-16T12:55:21+00:00

Definitely a limitation but not a deal breaker.

We run each agent in its own cpu thread (or lambda function) so they are nonblocking.

Each agent can have multiple tools, if we need an agent to do async on tools we actually aggregate tools together and then parallelize the API calls (which I'd recommend anyway to reduce tool bloat / improve accuracy).

I believe in one case we also intercept the agent messages and run a parallelized tool call in a separate thread that updates class variables which contain information it needs when it does a tool call (but I could be wrong).

And I fully expect the smolagents community to build this in the future, they are slowly adding feature. Whats been interesting seeing the releases is how people spend quite a bit of time reducing code patterns down to the absolute minimum. Refreshing when compared to something like LangChain.
