<story><title>Show HN: Web search using a ChatGPT-like model that can cite its sources</title><url>https://beta.sayhello.so/</url><text>We’ve trained a generative AI model to browse the web and answer questions&amp;#x2F;retrieve code snippets directly. Unlike ChatGPT, it has access to primary sources and is able to cite them when you hover over an answer (click on the text to go to the source being cited). We also show regular Bing results side-by-side with our AI answer.&lt;p&gt;The model is an 11-billion parameter T5-derivative that has been fine-tuned on feedback given on hundreds of thousands of searches done (anonymously) on our platform. Giving the model web access lessens its burden to need to store a snapshot of human knowledge within its parameters. Rather, it knows how to piece together primary sources in a natural and informative way. Using our own model is also an order of magnitude cheaper than relying on GPT.&lt;p&gt;A drawback to aligning models to web results is that they are less inclined to generate complete solutions&amp;#x2F;answers to questions where good primary sources don’t exist. Answers generated without underlying citable sources can be more creative but are prone to errors. In the future, we will show both types of answers.&lt;p&gt;Examples:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;beta.sayhello.so&amp;#x2F;search?q=set+cookie+in+fastapi&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;beta.sayhello.so&amp;#x2F;search?q=set+cookie+in+fastapi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;beta.sayhello.so&amp;#x2F;search?q=What+did+Paul+Graham+learn+from+users&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;beta.sayhello.so&amp;#x2F;search?q=What+did+Paul+Graham+learn...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;beta.sayhello.so&amp;#x2F;search?q=How+to+get+command+line+parameters+in+Rust&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;beta.sayhello.so&amp;#x2F;search?q=How+to+get+command+line+pa...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;beta.sayhello.so&amp;#x2F;search?q=why+did+Elon+Musk+buy+twitter&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;beta.sayhello.so&amp;#x2F;search?q=why+did+Elon+Musk+buy+twit...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Would love to hear your thoughts.</text></story><parent_chain><item><author>dvh</author><text>It gives answer that vaguely look like answer should look like but all the important details are wrong.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; A solar eclipse is a partial eclipse of the Sun caused by a solar coronal mass ejection .

This property takes three parameters: the colorspace, the color to be mixed, and the percentage of that color to mix. For example, to mix the colors #FFFFFF and #8FBC8, you would use the following code:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &lt;i&gt;let newColor = document.createElement;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &lt;i&gt;&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F; Outputs: #8FBC8&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is all just wrong from beginning to end. It seems to be confusing JS and CSS, too.</text></comment>
