Hey it's out! My guest appearance on @talkpython@fosstodon.org discussing #DigitalHumanities at Harvard and my journey into this space. Spoiler: Harvard digital humanities is a @django@fosstodon.org shop except we have to deal with end of life issues. https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/538/python-in-digital-humanities

I've just published Paleo-Bench:

a simple multi-modal model bench test for how current frontier models transcribe Greek minuscule manuscripts.

You can see the human transcribed transcription side by side with the model transcription with IIIF image viewer.

#DigitalHumanities

I just updated my Greek Minuscule LLM HTR Benchmark and added the latest frontier models in addition to some open weight and other models.

Some spoilers: Gemini is still far ahead for all metrics. Grok and Llama are about as bad as it gets.

A short demo of Apatosaurus v2 offline functionality. My working working theory for offline capable apps that do work on data:

- If the app allows editing data offline, then it had better have a robust mechanism for "catching up" when back online.
- The current sync status needs to be clearly communicated to the user. "Clearly" being the keyword because in the case of Apatosaurus, there are multiple databases to sync locally. One per transcription document _and_ one for the other metadata.
