Ashwin benchmarked Jev as a replacement for LLM-based reranking in Ramp's accounting product, and the results are very promising
Jev matches current accuracy on GPT-5.6 Luna, but decreases tail latency by 10x to 300ms at 3x lower cost
We're excited to get this into production for 70k customers as soon as we stop running into rate limits :)

The first thing I did at @tryramp was set up distributed tracing, structured logging, and metrics for Inspect, our background coding agent.
We now have full visibility in to everything the system is doing: the browser, CF workers/DOs, @modal sandboxes, database calls, etc.
Most importantly, Inspect now has visibility in to itself. It can self-triage runtime errors it encounters and create PRs to fix them.
Every morning, it reviews the past 24 hours of its own @datadoghq dashboard, identifies systemic issues, new errors, and long tail latencies, and has a summary + PR waiting for me at 9am.

Amazing / rare opportunity! Ramp (fastest growing startup of all time, iykyk) is looking for Android contractors to help build their rocket ship. Option for full time available too (1/2)

Today was my last day at @lyft as I've been affected by recent layoffs.
It's very sad to have to leave after this 4 years but as I do it I can only look back and feel grateful for the opportunity I was given to be part of that incredible team.

We just open sourced a library, primarily written by @kastiglione, for consuming Swift's index data. We're currently using it internally to discover unused code. Hopefully it lowers the barrier of entry for writing more powerful semantic analysis tools! github.com/lyft/swift-index-…

The SQ retaking Parliament Hill for the Ontarians was really not on my "Events of 2022" Bingo card.

Wherein the police tell us they're costing $800K a day to take selfies with convoy and can't/won't do anything about this group they welcomed to the city.
