I have had really good luck with GTP-5-mini in agentic flows via tool calling, code writing and structured data. I generally find structured data is easier for AI apps than unstructured ! .. not what I expected ! but guardrails are easier .. (code-in-loop, human-in-loop, llm-as-judge, etc)
please watch this for blow by blow walkthru of high performance , low cost gpt-5-mini and gpt-4o …
If anyone out there is interested in working structured data capabilities into Discourse as a plugin, etc. Please reach out.
An NLP extension for sql/stats/datascience to Data Explorer is an example.. But could also possibly have a tool / plugin / feature that allows natural language queries of read-only sqlLite or duckdb etc olap files loaded into the container ? just a thought..
