But characters only exist when we ask the model about this and it does it best to do this projection if asked. Vision model are richer than that. It "understands" visually a document. If it was only about characters, then there will be no way it beats the traditional pipelines of image->text->extractions or obtain the kind of results we see in this article. Vision models are more than characters recognition and OCR term don't do it justice IMHO.
Tangentially related: I don't think OCR is the right term and I am generally vocal about that. But seeing this unquestioned here, I am wondering if I am the one who is wrong here. Is it ok to call this OCR? To me ocr means text in the end, not visual tokens.
Happy user of recall here. I
rarely need it as I try to keep conversations small and files-focused. But when I do need it, it brings a lot of value. Sometimes there are conversations where I failed to capture some interesting things. Recall is also very helpful to me to audit my system like when I start to suspect some inefficiencies around some tools (skills, mcps, clis). Recall was efficient to retrieve "tranversal context" required for such audit.
So HR and middle management, legal is ... measuring?
They want to focus on builders and sellers but will support them like robots. A great recipe for disaster.
Legal is measuring too? I can't wrap my head around the reasoning process here. Unless cloudflare is going to be a teal enterprise (from the reinventing organisations book), I don't see how it makes sense.
For personnal agents like claude code, clis are awesome.
In web/cloud based environment, giving a cli to the agent is not easy. Codemode comes to mind but often the tool is externalized anyway so mcp comes handy. Standardisation of auth makes sense in these environments too.
6 months ago I experimented what people now call Ralph Wiggum loops with claude code.
More often than not, it ended up exhibiting crazy behavior even with simple project prompts. Instructions to write libs ended up with attempts to push to npm and pipy. Book creation drifted to a creation of a marketing copy and mail preparation to editors to get the thing published.
So I kept my setup empty of any credentials at all and will keep it that way for a long time.
Writing this, I am wondering if what I describe as crazy, some (or most?) openclaw operators would describe it as normal or expected.
Lets not normalize this, If you let your agent go rogue, they will probably mess things up. It was an interesting experiment for sure. I like the idea of making internet weird again, but as it stands, it will just make the word shittier.
Don't let your dog run errand and use a good leash.
