    Rust, mapping between result types

    I encountered a problem where my function uses,Result<Value, String>, but I also use Hugging Face Candle and std::fs::read, both of which have their own result types. For example, std::fs::read returns io::Result<Vec<u8>>. This means you can’t simply use the standard ? syntax to return the result. There are two ways to handle this: 2. Or, you…

    Process API in AI tooling

    I am currently working on the third iteration of the process API, this time in Rust. The first version, written in JavaScript, aimed to expose user-defined processes without requiring users to write code. This introduced the concept of intent-driven development, where users define the intent and the process API handles the execution. This approach has…

  • Data manager

    In this article, we will explore data management in the context of user interfaces. First, it’s important to differentiate between data and information. For our purposes, we’ll define data as the raw collection of records retrieved from a data source. Information, on the other hand, refers to the insights derived from this data, providing a…

  • RAG models

    This topic can quickly become extensive due to its complexity. My aim here is to document my experiment using llamaindex, ollama, and chroma_db for RAG. In essence, RAG involves conversing with an AI about processed documents. My focus lies not in the intricacies of document processing into vector stores, but rather in engaging with the…
