    Ankane's Onnx runtime for ruby is so easy to use that makes you wonder why the official repo for js is so difficult to understand. This guy's a hero, although I'm only scratching the surface for what he has done.

    Seriously, is this guy human? I'd invest a billion dollars in any individual so talented...

    I'm sure it's not why he does it, but I just nominated ankane for the Rails 2024 Luminary award, if anyone else wanted to express their gratitude.. https://rubyonrails.org/2024/8/2/nominations-open-for-2024-l...

    Thanks for creating this - it looks interesting. Contributions like this are really needed in the Ruby community

    Ankane single handedly is contributing so much back to the industry, in so many ways. Wild!

    How does one person end up being this productive? With I assume a pretty busy life of work, family, etc…

    I can’t describe how thankful I am for Ankanes gems, the stuff hes created has been essential for some of my apps. He fills the gap on the ecosystem in my opinion.

    I believe Andrew Kane is also a the author of pgvector[0], pgvector-ruby[1], and neighbor[2], all of which are pretty sweet!

    Plus a bunch of other stuff[3].

    Maybe he solved AI/ML by himself long ago and is using that to be this productive.

    Andrew Kane and Chris Oliver are the best of the best in the ruby community IMO. Even if I don't use all their contributions, they are most welcome.

    Any plans for implementing coreference resolution, similar to the FastCoref?
