The ‘brownie recipe problem’: why LLMs must have fine-grained context to deliver real-time results

Today’s LLMs excel at reasoning, but can still struggle with context. This is particularly true in real-time ordering systems like Instacart. Instacart CTO Anirban Kundu calls it the "brownie recipe problem." It's not as simple as telling an LLM ‘I want to make brownies.’ To be truly assistive when planning the meal, the model must go beyond that simple directive to understand what’s available in the user’s market based on their preferences — say, organic eggs versus regular eggs

When the machines started talking to each other

If cinema has taught us anything about interacting with our own creations, it’s this: androids chatting among themselves seldom end with humans clapping politely. In 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL 9000 quietly decides it knows better than the astronauts. In Westworld, lifelike hosts improvise rebellion when their scripts stop making sense. Those stories dramatize a core fear we keep returning to as AI grows more capable: what happens when systems we design start behaving on their own terms? You migh

Interview With Guy Kawasaki

When I was 17, I knew of four people at Apple Computer: Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Al Eisenstat, and Guy Kawasaki. I loved my Apple ][ (not a +, 48k, with an Integer Card, two floppy disks).
