Deep dives
Introduction of BAML Programming Language
BAML, or Basic Ass Machine Learning, has been developed to streamline the interaction of developers with large language models (LLMs). By learning from the challenges of web development, BAML introduces a new programming syntax designed to be more intuitive and reduce common coding errors associated with prompts. This programming language significantly enhances productivity by improving clarity, allowing even project managers to utilize it effectively. It helps curtail possible mistakes in coding that could arise due to incorrect syntax, mirroring the way development tools like React transformed web coding.
