Dev advice for PAW launch: say 'LoRA search' outright, differentiate from Jev on capability
willcb · x · 2026-09-21
Replying to a launch thread, willcb suggests PAW should state outright that its core is LoRA search — target users already know what a LoRA is, and it took real digging to confirm. He proposes clearer copy: PAW synthesizes examples to compile a LoRA for sub-1B models that run on your laptop and beat much larger models on structured tasks, with one-time compilation on GPU (DGX Spark, 4090, etc.).
On competing with Jev: users perceive Jev as free, instant, and trivial, so competing on cost or ease is a losing game — instead, show what PAW can do that Jev can't.
