Show HN: Matching Jev on BANKING77 at a thousandth of the cost
We developed an early vector embedding model at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and extended it called the Tuatara Vector Model. It's a blend and scored against Jev's 3,080 BANKING77 test messages resulting in 91.79% versus 92.40%, a statistical tie with some good cost savings.
As most may know, BANKING77 is a public dataset from PolyAI with 13,083 messages to a bank, each labelled with intents. The split was 10,003 messages for training and 3,080 for testing.
The run used the pinned model jev-1.13.0, all 77 intents as options in a single question, and up to 24 training examples retrieved for each message. Jev got 2,846 of 3,080 right.
Recomputing Jev’s accuracy from the file gives 92.40%, the same figure the experiment reports.

Show HN: Linktree is ugly so I built this
I'm Adam, building Outie. It's a link-in-bio app, and yes(really), I know how many of those already exist...
I wanted to bring a little emotion to your bio. At least I tried.
It's for all creators with more than one thing to share. Your work, your shop, a booking link, a newsletter, whatever you're putting out there.
Change the page whenever you want.
There’s a drawing canvas too. Pick your colors, use the pen and highlighter, and paint your own cover. Or upload an image if drawing isn't your thing.
I've also built scheduled links, launch countdowns and email signups. You can send someone a download link after they confirm their email, then check which campaign links bring clicks and signups.
And there are collectible badges you can display on your page. Some mark milestones, others are monthly leaderboard trophies. There's an OG edition capped at 10 creators. You choose which badges to show, or hide them altogether.
I'd like to add voting for people's covers and a best-looking page of the month.
If your page looks good, I’ll feature it through Outie’s channels to help more people find your work.
If you already use a bio page, what pisses you off about it? Tell me what you'd want added, or which bits here you wouldn't give a sh*t about. Criticism is welcome.
