Damn, now I'm hungry. All this bread talk.

I deeply love this idea of specialized LLMs for search. It's also extremely confusing to me how rough Google's entrance here is.

When I, a human, need an answer to anything moderately complex, it's unlikely that I get it on the first (pre-AI) round of google searching. Simple stuff, sure, but more likely I'll need to go 2-5 rounds. Maybe click a few links. Double-check my assumptions.

An LLM that can do that quickly seems like a slam dunk. I wonder what other problems benefit from that 10x-100x increase in context + 2-5 rounds with the LLM.

I know it can be a deep time sink, but I notice more and more how much deeper my understanding is of a certain problem/best-practice after developing the neuropathways involved in crawling between reddit, stack overflow, etc, to get to the proper solution. I love the instant answer from google ai, but I also notice an itch to purposefully force myself to ignore it when time allows.

I guess someone who has used a search agent (or a dedicated subagent) can speak when I'd reach for a tool like this vs either just 1) a smaller general model or 2) a non-llm approach to the problem? Like it's interesting I'm just curious how a search agent compares to say a model with dedicated rag pipelines is that much different?
breadislove•14m ago
the issue with smaller general models (see at the charts) are way behind the frontier models when it comes to search. we've found that there is huge uplift of having a fast dedicated model. from our perspective, having a very good index is the biggest lever and then having a specialised model.

Dunno about this branding/naming scheme - every time it comes up we have to double-check that it isn't some spoof/joke page
breadislove•13m ago
there is full lore around the naming. i can guarantee you that we are pretty dedicated around our research and product.
andai•7m ago
An inside joke that confuses your target audience and makes you sound like a joke, is probably not what you want as your brand.

lore does not make it a good or professional choice

Article should probably explain what "Mixedbread Search" is.
