Today we're releasing RoastMyPost, a new experimental application for blog post evaluation using LLMs. Try it Here.

TLDR

  • RoastMyPost is a new QURI application that uses LLMs and code to evaluate blog posts and research documents.
  • It uses a variety of LLM evaluators. Most are narrow checks: Fact Check, Spell Check, Fallacy Check, Math Check, Link Check, Forecast Check, and others.
  • Optimized for EA & Rationalist content with direct import from EA Forum and LessWrong URLs. Other links use standard web fetching.
  • Works best for 200 - ~10,000 word documents with factual assertions and simple formatting. It can also do basic reviewing of Squiggle models. Longer documents and documents in LaTeX will experience slowdowns and errors.
  • Open source, free for reasonable use[1]. Public examples are here. 
  • Experimentation encouraged! We're all figuring out how to best use these tools.
  • Overall, we're most interested in using RoastMyPost as an experiment for potential LLM document workflows. The tech is early now, but it's at a good point for experimentation.
