> not unlike other packages such as marvin

This feels pretty much identical to Marvin? Like the entire API?

From a genuine place of curiosity: I get that your prompts are different, but like why in the name of open source would you just not contribute to these libraries instead of starting your own from scratch?

Thanks for asking, and I'd agree. I'd give the same answer as the folks asking about instructor: we built this in a week and are sharing it early, this package API happens to have landed on what Marvin is doing, we're likely to change over time, especially leaning toward running our own models as part of it.

Wait. So why not just contribute to an existing open source project if you’re going to implement an identical API?

If you run your own models as a part of it, surely you could hook up your models as a backend to whatever abstractions you’re copying here.

Wait, someone made a similar comment as this elsewhere in the thread. So why don't you just upvote that?

If you have your own thoughts, surely you could just think them to yourself while upvoting.

yikes.

I was responding to them sidestepping the first commenter’s question.

yikes.

yeah this seems to be pretty much the same interface as `fn` from marvin, except w/o pydantic (see https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin?tab=readme-ov-file#-buil...)
