Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Building an Email Assistant Application with Burr
Note that this uses simple OpenAI calls — you can replace this with Langchain, LlamaIndex, Hamilton (or something else) if you prefer more abstraction, and delegate to whatever LLM you like to use. And, you should probably use something a little more concrete (E.G. instructor) to guarantee output shape.

Using IPython Jupyter Magic commands to improve the notebook experience
In this post, we’ll show how your team can turn any utility function(s) into reusable IPython Jupyter magics for a better notebook experience. As an example, we’ll use Hamilton, my open source library, to motivate the creation of a magic that facilitates better development ergonomics for using it. You needn’t know what Hamilton is to understand this post.

FastUI: Build Better UIs Faster
We built an app with it -- https://blog.dagworks.io/p/building-a-lightweight-experiment. You can see the code here https://github.com/DAGWorks-Inc/hamilton/blob/main/hamilton/....
Usually we've been prototyping with streamlit, but found that at times to be clunky. FastUI still has rough edges, but we made it work for our lightweight app.

Facebook Prophet: library for generating forecasts from any time series data
This library is old news? Is there anything new that they've added that's noteworthy to take it for another spin?
[disclaimer I'm a maintainer of Hamilton] Otherwise FYI Prophet gels well with https://github.com/DAGWorks-Inc/hamilton for setting up your features and dataset for fitting & prediction[/disclaimer].

Langchain Is Pointless
I had been hearing these pains from Langchain users for quite a while. Suffice to say I think:
1. too many layers of OO abstractions are a liability in production contexts. I'm biased, but a more functional approach is a better way to model what's going on. It's easier to test, wrap a function with concerns, and therefore reason about.
2. as fast as the field is moving, the layers of abstractions actually hurt your ability to customize without really diving into the details of the framework, or requiring you to step outside it -- in which case, why use it?
Otherwise I definitely love the small amount of code you need to write to get an LLM application up with Langchain. However you read code more often than you write it, in which case this brevity is a trade-off. Would you prefer to reduce your time debugging a production outage? or building the application? There's no right answer, other than "it depends".
To that end - we've come up with a post showing how one might use Hamilton (https://github.com/dagWorks-Inc/hamilton) to easily create a workflow to ingest data into a vector database that I think has a great production story. https://open.substack.com/pub/dagworks/p/building-a-maintain...
Note: Hamilton can cover your MLOps as well as LLMOps needs; you'll invariably be connecting LLM applications with traditional data/ML pipelines because LLMs don't solve everything -- but that's a post for another day.

Free access to beta product I'm building that I'd love feedback on
This is me. I drive an open source library Hamilton that people doing time-series/ML work love to use. I'm building a paid product around it at DAGWorks, and I'm after feedback on our current version. Can I entice anyone to:

IPyflow: Reactive Python Notebooks in Jupyter(Lab)
From a nuts and bolts perspective, I've been thinking of building some reactivity on top of https://github.com/dagworks-inc/hamilton (author here) that could get at this. (If you have a use case that could be documented, I'd appreciate it.)

Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on
AIPL is an "Array-Inspired Pipeline Language", a tiny DSL in Python to make it easier to explore and experiment with AI pipelines.
https://github.com/saulpw/aipl
When you want to run some prompts through an LLM over a dataset, with some preprocessing and/or chaining prompts together, AIPL makes it much easier than writing a Python script.

The Problem with LangChain
Yes! This is why I started working on AIPL. The scripts are much more like recipes (linear, contained in a single-file, self-evident even to people who don't know the language). For instance, here's a multi-level summarizer of a webpage: https://github.com/saulpw/aipl/blob/develop/examples/summari...
The goal is to capture all that knowledge that langchain has, into consistent legos that you can combine and parameterize with the prompts, without all the complexity and boilerplate of langchain, nor having to learn all the Python libraries and their APIs. Perfect for prototypes and experiments (like a notebook, as you suggest), and then if you find something that really works, you can hand-off a single text file to an engineer and they can make it work in a production environment.

Langchain Is Pointless
I agree, and that's why I've been working on AIPL[0]. Our first v0.1 release should be in the next few days. https://github.com/saulpw/aipl
It's basically just a simple scripting language with array semantics and inline prompt construction, and you can drop into Python any time you like.

Re-implementing LangChain in 100 lines of code
I also was underwhelmed by langchain, and started implementing my own "AIPL" (Array-Inspired Pipeline Language) which turns these "chains" into straightforward, linear scripts. It's very early days but already it feels like the right direction for experimenting with this stuff. (I'm looking for collaborators if anyone is interested!)
