Hassaan isn't working but Carter works great. I even asked it to converse in Espanol, which it does (with a horrible accent) but fluently. Great work on the future of LLM interaction.

Unfortunately, it looks like HN has given my little blog the hug of death. Should be back up soon

This would be WONDERFUL with a Spanish-native accent as a language tutor, but as you've already got English you should try marketing this to the English-learning world. There is a huge dearth of native English speaker interaction in worldwide language instruction, and it's typically only available to the most privileged of students. Your system could democratize this so anyone with an affordable fee (say $10-20/month, subsidized for the poorest) could practice speaking and have their own personal tutor. The State Department and Defense Language Institute might love this as well as, if trained on languages like Iraqi Arabic and Korean would allow live-exercise training prior to deployment.

It can also function as an instructional tutor in a way that feels natural and interactive, as opposed to the clunkiness of ChatGPT. For instance, I asked it (in Spanish) to guide me through programming a REST API, and what frameworks I would use for that, and it was giving coherent and useful responses. Really the "secret sauce" that OpenAI needs to actually become integrated into everyday life.
