In their free time, they like to read and listen to Billy Joel.
Where We Come In
AquiLLM currently has a basic 1-5 rating system for responses, however responses and ratings aren't stored properly in the database and users don't have the ability to explain what went wrong.
AquiLLM developers are interested in being able to critically evaluate the performance of AquiLLM so that they can figure out how to improve it. In order to evaluate the responses however, the existing rating system needs to be completed and expanded upon to give developers more information to work with. This is step 1 in improving AquiLLM, and later steps in the coming months will include building a system to seamlessly integrate data from the astronomical instrument OSIRIS (OH-Suppressing Infrared Imaging Spectrograph), based in Hawaii.
