alt Hacker NewsI don’t think that’s it. I sincerely doubt most developers are doing side by side comparisons of calibration quality.
OpenAI has a section on their embeddings model api page for zero shot classification. Of course you can choose an open weights embedding too if you’d like.

I think Jev wins on marketing and convenience. Most SWEs don’t want to talk about embeddings, cosine similarity, or precision/recall tradeoffs. They want something which plausibly works and is easy to use.
Yes it turns all that work of building a classifier into an api call. This is hugely valuable for prototyping and while you iterate on what the product should even do.
