Editing Draft:Chapter II (section)

== Development Challenges and Future Outlook ==
The project has faced challenges with documentation and development coordination. Amp has noted that multiple developers have written their own documentation for Chapter II but failed to push it, despite requests. This, combined with instances like developer Janus adding "thousand lines of non-self-contained code" (though later cleaned up), has made maintaining the project "exhausting," despite its perceived significance as "one of the most important AI research projects of all time".

Looking ahead, Joy aims to evolve Chapter II into a library for creating LLM workflows in any language and for constructing arbitrary functions; `input_ensemble` is a step toward achieving multi-step retrieval (e.g., passing a query-writing em into retrieval). Joy is also interested in deploying Chapter II as a fully local mobile application called Pamphlet. The current Pamphlet UI is a real-time multimodal interface, with plans for voice input. Amp envisions adding new faculties and exploring custom characters with complex behaviors that emerge from simple, self-modifying behaviors. Amp also intends to replace the existing `/v1` API, described as a "legacy API with many self-incompatibilities invented in 2021 in a hurry," with a `/v2/continuations` API if no one else does so. Amp is also leaning towards full self-hosting for research, with plans to acquire a Mac Studio.

Further areas of interest include more sophisticated retrieval techniques, such as [[HyDE]] and improved chunking. The project also considered using its own ems to auto-generate documentation for Chapter II.
