У нас в продакшене живет агент, который размечает звонки отдела продаж. Простые поля вроде «сумма сделки» вытаскиваются из одной фразы.

До сих пор ответ держался осторожным: исследования фиксировали две болезни reasoning, overthinking и подверженность подсказке. Я решил проверить их руками на... Read more ›
