Programming is changing. Fast! The attached code example uses Gorilla, an open-source Large Language Model that specializes in writing API calls. Gorilla kicks GPT-4's butt at this task. It's also much better than ChatGPT and Claude. The team claims the model is very reliable and reduces hallucinations. They currently support more than 1,600 API calls, and you can contribute yours. To use the model, you start with a natural language query. Gorilla will produce an API call you can invoke. Look at the attached example. I ask the model to detect any Spanish text in an image and translate it to English. The model produces the code I can use to do that. It's awesome! The productivity of every developer worldwide would go through the roof if we had a reliable model that knew how to use any library or framework. (The thing that excites me the most is the ability for anyone to contribute to the model!) Forget the documentation; just write me some code! I can't help but wonder whether we are working ourselves out of a job. As these models improve and write better code, what'll happen with software developer jobs?
