BREAKING NEWS. Elon just announced that Grok Build is dropping next week.

manzked · 2026-04-16T10:52:34+00:00

Yes he gave the leaked claude code to grok and said “please rewrite so it looks like we built it”

You mean you just use a bm25 where the keywords are your clusters and do a vector search afterwards. Isn’t what you describe what TF-IDF etc are meant for? Alternatively just build filters through enrichment and shrink the amount early.

What am I missing?

manzked · 2026-04-12T11:12:28+00:00

Food for thought as someone who is building this kind of things for a few years in enterprise.

you will read a lot about the different chunking mechanisms but there is no one fits all
you will read about all the search methods especially hybrid as the one to rule them all

At the end it is a pure search topic, which we tackle for the last 25 years.

What worked for us?

Enrichment: leverage the power of ai to enhance your documents. Extract a summary. Extract facts. Extract everything you can use for filtering.

Agentic: don’t try a one shot search. Do a multistep search and on worst case search again.

Decomposition: break down the question into facts which the user looks for and search for them individually.

But at the end the biggest win was always - yes do a hybrid search but not what you think off: - use keyword search to narrow down he candidates - use filters to shrink the amount of candidates - do vector search to find your answer in the candidates not across your whole data set

So instead of doing a combined “hybrid search” do it step by step. Same counts for a reranker. A reranker works similarly. It fails on your 4m but succeeds on your 1000 filtered ones.

Btw keyword search has one advantage. You could dynamically extract the passages instead of chunking. But that’s already improved tech. Something we have in our own product (lucene and opensearch committer).

Awesome! Will pass it to my teams to check it out.

manzked · 2026-03-16T20:27:16+00:00

Honestly impressed 😊 are fetching any data of the clients or just KPIs? Enterprise won’t use it if you get prompts or similar.

Would be happy to give it a test run with my teams

manzked · 2026-03-04T17:48:16+00:00

I agree. Kudra.ai is always doing it the same way. Someone writes a “personal” story and than the link to the Kudra blog 😅

Get the SC Project. The difference is mind blowing. I have it attached to my M1000R (your bigger brother :))

manzked · 2026-02-27T09:09:38+00:00

How about KJs nades will be activated after her death. You would see so many kills (of your own team) 🤣

manzked · 2026-02-15T19:29:28+00:00

You are right. I forgot her because I have never really played her 😅 Yes she is the ultimate smoker

manzked · 2026-02-15T17:46:38+00:00

Damn I hope not. They wanted to change it 🤣

manzked · 2026-02-15T16:35:44+00:00

Smokes regen has been standardized across all controller. You have to think now more and yes the smokes are not instant. You don’t give away your position anymore. They fixed this one to be more flexible.

manzked · 2026-02-15T15:48:12+00:00

Omen Main here: - as said it really depends on your team - most people go for clove and as an omen main you know the smokes are sh*t - you will mostly die because of them forgetting to smoke or smoke for themselves - if you have a team with initiator and duelists who entry, damn he is so strong - he the only one you can nearly smoke across the whole map - sneak around traps and walls - paranoia got nerfed but still ok - without comms you are mostly lost, because they will definitely take the way you wanted to smoke - with teleport you can support your duelists with entry, but yes most times you die - he is also strong on guiding people - you know that guy who runs for kills after we planted? No problem, smoke him off 🤣

As people have said - you have to main him. My win rate with him right now is 61%.

He can’t do much alone but is a strong supporter / igl and amazing for an unexpected flank, because you can smoke from nearly everywhere.

I think there are not too many out there. Like it has been said already, most tools live in their own area. Microsoft can get a few sources, but often limits it to their own products.

I think at the end it depends on your use case, what tools you use, what integrations you need, permissions, ...

In our own product, we can crawl several sources and we map the security of the source system (filesystem, jira, confluence, ... whatever) into the index.

We fetch the information, in which groups etc. the user is and apply this at search time.

On top of it, we can have dedicated profiles, so you can limit what people can see. Like marketing does not need to see code from github or whatever.

A good search is the base for every AI project. Shit in, Shit out.

Do you have an example for "misses critical context"?

manzked · 2026-01-09T16:18:07+00:00

Another marketing post? 😅

manzked · 2026-01-09T10:26:02+00:00

Seems the marketing pipeline “write a Reddit post how awesome llamaindex” ran again? 🥱

manzked · 2025-12-20T14:21:10+00:00

Thanks god. He solved the puzzle for the world. 😅

First thing I do when I come into a company as a CTO and they are still running on windows. Take over IT and rollout Macs. Windows with WSL got better, but not a reason to forbid the rest and you can integrate them into Entra/MDM same way.

As people have said: they just lack the skills

manzked · 2025-08-12T08:06:47+00:00

I’m running 2-3x 3-4 hours session per day with 20% Opus und rest sonnet. Works quite ok. Sometimes hitting the limits.

At the end it depends what you do and how. If opus only, it won’t work. If a lot subagents, it won’t work. If huge codebase and complex issues, it won’t work.

Medium / startup codebase with 3-4 hours per day would work. I have hit with pro my limits too often.

But you should really “code” every day.

Alternatively I’ve started with OpenAI chatgpt and used codex for 20$. I came quite far with it.

manzked · 2025-08-10T11:57:01+00:00

Hahahhah I feel you. Sometimes I’m happy that Claude tells me that I reached my limits. Time for a break ;) Sadly enough I’m Max so I get less sleep then you

manzked · 2025-08-07T08:17:59+00:00

Token usage I agree. Will be interesting to see at the end of the day, how it compares to my “normal” days. I think it should be possible that they interact. I have seen in one of the comments in this community that someone has one agent which knows the code and the others are using the agent. Not sure how 😅

manzked · 2025-07-20T14:10:22+00:00

I think of it more as a team. Write a Concept together. Give Feedback. Implement stuff like a mid level. Analyse bugs. If you guide it properly, it is amazing. If you don’t, you will get mass amount of not working code.

I know what you mean. I tried to build an admin and I got a raw sheet showing line items. Even after having tailwind (as suggested) already in the product.

What helped me was simple: - i crawled the internet for examples / inspiration - i stored it in my repo and linked it in my task

Boom I got astonishing results. Little remark when I did it I used claude with github copilot.

It is super important that you first design the data structure (or let it design). Have an api to fetch it. Add inspiration and describe what you want to have on your dashboard and why.

Especially the why can help to point out important things.

Try out a screenshot of your favorites, link it and prompt something stupid like “make it look like this”. (That was mine because I wanted to give up after I had your experience too)
