We've been working on some exciting things with SymbolicAI and here a few things which might interest the HN community. Two years ago, we built a benchmark to evaluate multistep reasoning, tool use, and logical capabilities in language models. It includes a quality measure to assess performance and is built on a plugin system we developed for SymbolicAI. - Benchmark & Plugin System: https://github.com/ExtensityAI/benchmark - Example Eval: https://github.com/ExtensityAI/benchmark/blob/main/src/evals... We've also implemented some interesting concepts in our framework: - C#-style Extension Methods in Python: Using GlobalSymbolPrimitive to extend functionalities. - https://github.com/ExtensityAI/benchmark/blob/main/src/func.py#L146 - Symbolic <> Sub-symbolic Conversion: And using this for quality metrics, like a reward signal from the p

ath integral of multistep generations. - https://github.com/ExtensityAI/benchmark/blob/main/src/func.... For fun, we integrated LLM-based tools into a customizable shell. Check out the Rick & Morty-styled rickshell: - RickShell: https://github.com/ExtensityAI/rickshell We were also among the first to generate a full research paper from a single prompt and continue to push the boundaries of AI-generated research: - End-to-End Paper Generation (Examples): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vUg2Y7TgZRRiaPzC83pQ... - Recent AI Research Generation: - Three-Body Problem: https://github.com/ExtensityAI/three-body_problem - Primality Test: https://github.com/ExtensityAI/primality_test - Twitter/X Post: https://x.com/DinuMariusC/status/1915521724092743997 Finally, for those interested in building similar services, we've had an open-source, MCP-like API endpoint service available for over a year: - SymbolicAI API: https://github.com/ExtensityAI/symbolicai/blob/main/symai/en...
In SymbolicAI: A neuro-symbolic perspective on LLMs
The “around” part of your question hints that you may want to see the range of options possible with LangChain. Instead, for brainstorming, I’d recommend the description of what Symbolic AI aims to support: https://github.com/ExtensityAI/symbolicai?tab=readme-ov-file... I think what you’ll find is that some applications are very capable locally, like Whisper. A lot of plugins expect to work with the llama.cpp family. Nowadays, that’s HuggingFace TGI: https://huggingface.co/blog/tgi-messages-api So your application could speak OpenAI api, and you’d run HuggingFace TGI on your hardware for testing and comparison.
