[Product Hunt]( [Read in browser]( [This newsletter is brought to you by]( APPLE GPT (WIP) According to [a report]( from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is racing to catch up with OpenAI and Google. Internally, their new chatbot is apparently being called ‘Apple GPT.' As Danny Lev [pointed out](, “Apple's focus on privacy could be a big advantage in the AI race.” [What do you think](? PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT [Production-grade LLM apps for all]( LangChain’s [new developer platform]( is a milestone on the road to democratizing access to the tools needed to build the new era of LLM-powered applications. Let's take a step back: LLMs—aka large language models—refer to the type of software that powers products like [ChatGPT](, [Bard](, and [Bing](. An LLM is ‘large’ in the sense that it is trained on massive datasets; ‘language’ in that it can ‘understand’ and ‘respond’ in the same ways humans communicate; and a ‘model’ in that it is trained to make predictions based on the patterns it finds in its training data. Wrangling complexity: LLMs are good at a number of very useful things—including text generation, translation, and summarization—and tech companies make their LLMs available to independent makers via APIs like Google’s [PaLM]( or Meta’s [Llama](, but that doesn’t mean developing new products with these LLMs isn’t still extremely complex. Thanks to new developer platforms like [LangSmith](, makers can now more easily build, deploy, debug, test, evaluate, and monitor their LLM apps, without having to build that tooling in-house. For the love of tinkering: “We started with an open-source Python package when the main blocker for building LLM-powered applications was getting a simple prototype working. We remember seeing Nat Friedman [tweet]( in late 2022 that there was “not enough tinkering happening,” says LangChain’s [launch announcement](. Less than a year later, “people are building everything from chatbots over internal company documents to an AI dungeon master for a Dungeons and Dragons game […] We see lots of tinkering happening now (Nat [agrees]().” [Start tinkering]( Sponsored By Ready for compliance that doesn’t SOC 2 much?
