• Show HN: Tarsier – vision for text-only LLM web agents that beats GPT-4o

  Why was the Show HN text removed? Self promotion? https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=true&query=tarsier&sort=byDate&type=story > Hey HN! I built a tool that gives LLMs the ability to understand the visual structure of a webpage even if they don't accept image input.

• eu/acc

  Note that my advice is more towards people who want to do an investment, is planning a startup, a company that might grow up, etc > Why is there a need to have specialists just to interface with one's local government True, in theory you shouldn't need it.
