Immediately I'm very much looking forward to a day where language learning is like this. No Duolingo gamification nonsense... I want something that remembers what words I know, what words I kinda know and what I should know next and has an ongoing conversation with me.

I think this will totally change the way we educate and test. As someone for whom the education system really didn't serve well, I am very excited.



This is what I’m actually working on!

One major problem with LLMs is that they don’t have a long term way of figuring out what your “knowledge space” is so no matter how much good the LLM is at explaining, it won’t be able to give you custom explanations without a model of the human’s knowledge to guide the teaching (basically giving the LLM the knowledge of the learner to guide it)


Out of curiosity would a config file that acts as a prompt at the beginning of each conversation solve that issue?

It primes the model with a list of known words/grammar and the A1/2 B1/2 C1/2 level of language ability.

I’d presume after each message you could get the model to dump to the config.

I haven’t work in this sector at all and am curious as to the limits of hacking it / working around the long term memory issues!


LOL it's the next headline down!

Things are moving very fast
