E-commerce is increasingly being accepted as one of cut flower market channels. For a long time only specialised florists and unspecialised retail existed. Every florist should consider E-commerce as a cut flower market channels

Traditional florists still dominate the retail distribution of flowers. But Purchasing online has become ingrained.

Lets Digest the Case for E-commerce as a cut flower market channels

The cut flower market has for a long time consisted of two market channels: one focusing on specialised florists (florists, markets stalls and kiosks, garden centres) and other outlets and the other on unspecialised retail (e.g. supermarkets, filling stations, and other retail outlets).

But E-commerce is increasingly being accepted and online sales throughout the chain are important developments that are reshaping the market channels.

Purchasing online is becoming ingrained.

Traditional florists still dominate the retail distribution of flowers. The classic consumer habit of just dropping by the florist to buy flowers before visiting someone is changing. Purchasing online has become ingrained. Its true that by investing in the necessary software and changes in business processes online trading can be a big part of a florist or flower wholesaler marketing strategy

Cut flower market channels of Distribution

• Traditional–“bulk” product (35%) Broker/ Importer – Wholesaler Florist chains – Retailers – Florist shops
• Present–consumer ready products (65%) – Broker/ importer Direct sales to mass marketers – supermarkets, garden centers, home centers.Internet(on line sales)

E-commerce as a cut flower market channels For a Florist Means having a Website and Social Media

70% percent of people go online to find a local florist and a Research by Deloitte’s analysis in Connected Small Businesses; found that digitally advanced small businesses:

• Earned two times as much revenue per employee
• Experienced revenue growth over the previous year that was nearly four times as high
• Were almost three times as likely to be creating jobs over the previous year
• Had an average employment growth rate that was more than six times as high

Consumption Patterns for a florist to consider

• Purchases of flowers that are not in (florist) arrangements have increased significantly.
• Supermarket purchases have increased substantially in the last decade. Florist shops still denote reputation, reliability, product quality and convenience (possibility of sending flowers).
• Convenience and price influence internet and supermarket purchases
• E-commerce and branding are increasing
• Awareness about origin of products. Interest to learn about specific flowers

得益于利用这种强大语言模型的开源功能的各种工具，在 PC 或 Mac 上本地运行 Llama 3 变得更加容易。

以下是安装和运行 Llama 3 的三种有效方法，每种方法都能满足不同的用户需求和技术专业知识。

1.使用Ollama

支持的平台：MacOS、Ubuntu、Windows（目前为预览版）。

步骤如下：

• 从官方网站https://ollama.com/下载 Ollama 。

  
  

要运行 Llama 3，请使用命令：“ollama run llama3”。该命令默认下载8B指令模型。

你也可以通过添加标签来指定不同的模型，例如针对特定版本的“ollama run llama3:70b-instruct”。

ollama run llama3ollama run llama3:70b-textollama run llama3:70b-instruct         #For Specific Versions

为了快速开发应用，我们选择使用 Python 进行开发。让我们从最开始的问答开始：

# llm_chat.pyimport requests
res = requests.post( "http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/chat", # 服务器地址 json={ "model": "mistral", # 使用 mistral 模型 "stream": False, # 禁用流式输出 "messages": [ {"role": "user", "content": "你是谁？"}, # 用户输入 ], },)print(res.json())

接下来执行一下这个 Python 脚本：

如果仅仅满足问答需求，可能不足以满足我们在实际项目中的需求。我们通常在程序中集成格式化输出的内容，以方便程序进行解析和后续处理。

因此，我们需要通过 Prompt Engineering 方式实现这种目标：

# llm_chat.pyimport requestsres = requests.post( "http://localhost:11434/api/chat", json={ "model": "mistral", # 使用 mistral 模型 "stream": False, # 禁用流式输出 "messages": [ { "role": "user", "content": """你是谁？使用yaml格式进行回答，yaml格式如下：name: stringlanguage: string""", # 用户输入 }, ], },)print(res.json())

注意：我们在这里要求 LLM 按照 YAML格式进行输出。这是一种对人和机器都友好的格式。我们提供了具体的格式定义和字段名与类型，防止 LLM 的自我发挥：

name: stringlanguage: string

再执行一下这个文件：

可以看到 LLM 按照我们的格式要求输出了对应的内容：让我们按照 YAML 格式展示一下输出的内容：

name: "AI Assistant"language: "English"

这样就可以借助 LLM 把这些非格式化的内容转化为格式化内容方便我们的应用进行进一步处理。

注意：如果你想集成类似于ChatGPT的聊天机器人UI，则需要进一步配置，可能涉及OpenWebUI 项目。

2.使用LM Studio

支持的平台：  MacOS、Ubuntu、Windows

特点：LM Studio基于llama.cpp项目构建，支持各种模型，如ggml Llama、MPT和Hugging Face上的StarCoder。

步骤：

• 从https://lmstudio.ai/下载 LM Studio 。

  
  

• 根据提供的系统要求安装它。

• LM Studio 具有内置聊天界面，增强了用户交互。

  
  

3.使用GPT4All

支持的平台： MacOS、Ubuntu、Windows

实用程序： GPT4All 提供了一个通用的设置来运行各种开源 LLM。

步骤：转到GPT4All

此方法通常涉及更多 DIY 设置，并且可能需要熟悉编程环境和软件依赖性。

通过遵循概述的步骤并使用提供的工具，你可以在本地有效地利用 Llama 3 的功能。

祝每天AI好前景～

在最近的一期个人博客节目中，知名记者比尔·西蒙斯透露了一些关于亚马逊创始人杰夫·贝索斯有意购买波士顿凯尔特人队的传闻。西蒙斯本人对这些传闻的真实性表示了肯定。

根据福布斯今年更新的数据，贝索斯的资产净值约为1957亿美元，比快船老板鲍尔默还高出719亿!

据悉，贝索斯希望用介入体育圈的方式来为自己树立更良好的形象，他看到了库班和拉科布等老板投资NBA球队取得的丰厚成果，于是有意效仿。

比尔·西蒙斯称，NBA和凯尔特人高层开出了60亿美元的报价，而贝索斯是唯一能匹配该要价的潜在买家。如果贝索斯顺利收购凯尔特人，他将斥资在波士顿修建一座顶级球场，届时该球场将承办篮球赛和演唱会等一系列活动。

CodeGPT 是一个 Visual Studio 代码扩展，也称插件。它允许开发者通过官方 OpenAI API使用GPT-3（生成式预训练转换器版本3）模型来生成、解释、重构以及记录各种编程语言的代码片段。

CodeGPT 可用于执行代码完成、生成和格式化等各种任务。它还可以集成到代码编辑器以及集成开发环境（IDE）中，为开发人员提供人工智能辅助编码的功能。

本文将详细 介绍 如何在广泛使用的代码编辑器 Visual Studio Code 中设置和使用 CodeGPT。

在 Visual Studio Code 中设置 CodeGPT

在 Visual Studio code IDE 中使用 CodeGPT 之前，首先我们需要安装它。

要安装 CodeGPT 扩展，请先打开 Visual Studio 代码编辑器，导航到扩展存储，然后在搜索栏中键入“codegpt”。选择经过验证扩展，然后单击安装按钮即可。

图1 单击安装按钮将使 CodeGPT 在 Visual Studio 代码编辑器中可用。

或者，我们也可以通过Visual Studio 市场安装 CodeGPT 。

配置CodeGPT

在 Visual Studio 代码编辑器中成功安装 CodeGPT 后，您必须使用 OpenAI API 密钥配置 CodeGPT。

首先找到自己的 OpenAI API 密钥。

请导航至https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys，然后请单击“创建新密钥”按钮。请看如下图所示。

单击此按钮将生成你的 API 密钥。需要注意的是，你需要在生成密钥后立即复制并安全存储密钥，因为 OpenAI 不会再次显示它们。

接下来，返回 Visual Studio 代码编辑器并导航到 Settings。

在 macOS 上，导航到菜单栏，单击“代码”，然后选择“首选项”以找到“设置”选项。在 Windows 上，按下ctrl+,也可以打开相关的设置。

在设置搜索栏中输入“codegpt”以过滤其它设置，留下 CodeGPT 设置。

在 macOS 上，按cmd+shift+p并搜索“CodeGPT: Set API KEY”以便添加 API 密钥。在 Windows 上，请在 API 密钥选项下填写。

CodeGPT 扩展还有其它几个设置，可以继续来配置下，以便符合我们的喜好。

这些设置包括如下：

• 最大令牌（Token）数量：在 API 处理提示之前，输入将被分解为令牌。然后 API 处理这些令牌。最大令牌表示是 API 应获取和处理的最大令牌数量。因此，根据自己想要获得的响应长度选择数量。此外，还需要注意的是，每个模型都有最大令牌数量，因此所使用模型会影响最大令牌数量。

• 模型：这表示 CodeGPT 将在处理查询时使用的 OpenAI 模型。目前CodeGPT 使用GPT-3 模型。在此模型中，text-davinci-003能力最强，它能够提供更高质量、更扩展的输出、正确遵循提示语并处理多达 4,000 个令牌。

• 语言：这是开发者与 API 交互所使用的语言。解释或文档等功能也将以所选之语言进行。

• Temperature（温度）：此设置确定生成文本中的随机性或“创造力”水平。使用温度越高，产生的输出就越多样化、更富有创意。较低的温度会产生与训练数据类似的输出，并且不太可能包含意外或令人惊讶的内容。它是一个介于零 (0) 和一 (1) 之间的值，其中零最具确定性，一 (1) 最具随机性和创造性。值得一提的是，其默认温度参数为 0.3。

接下来，让我们来看可以使用 CodeGPT 执行的各种操作以及如何执行这些操作。

生成代码

接下来可以使用 CodeGPT 根据 Visual Studio 代码编辑器中的提示语生成代码片段。

用 CodeGPT 生成代码，我们先写一条注释，然后要求提供特定代码（需要确保将光标保持在同一注释行的末尾），然后按cmd + shift + i’ ，使用Windows的用户, 按 ctrl + shift + i’。按这组按键将触发 CodeGPT 提示，然后在左侧打开一个新窗口，显示提示结果。

上面的提示语将生成了一个良好（带注释）的函数，功能是生成UUID。

解析代码

我们可以使用 CodeGPT 来解析需要的代码片段，以帮助我们理解它们的详细用途。

以下是操作步骤。

如果要解析代码片段，先高亮选择该代码段，然后右键单击。右键单击会显示一些选项。从选项中选择解释 CodeGPT。

单击此选项会触发 CodeGPT 提示并打开一个新窗口，显示提示结果，如下例所示。

上面示例中的提示语为使用正则表达式验证电子邮件地址是否有效的函数生成了正确的解释说明。

重构代码

开发者还可以使用 CodeGPT 重构代码片段，使其更具可读性、可维护性以及具备高效性能。

要重构代码片段，选择该代码片段使之高亮，然后右键单击。右键单击会显示一些选项。从选项中，选择『Refactor CodeGPT』。

单击此选项会触发 CodeGPT 提示并打开一个新窗口，显示提示结果，如下图所示。

上例中的突出显示的代码块重构为使用reduce数组方法来计算购物车中产品的总价。初始代码块（重构之前）使用 afor-loop来计算产品的总价格。

编写单元测试

还可以使用 CodeGPT 为代码编写单元测试，以确保它们按预期工作。

要为代码片段编写单元测试，请突出显示该代码片段，然后右键单击。右键单击会显示一些选项。然后请从选项中，选择单元测试 CodeGPT。

单击此选项会触发 CodeGPT 提示并打开一个新窗口，显示提示结果，类似如下图所示。

上面示例中为重构的函数编写了单元测试，确保了它产生预期之结果。

结论

我们还可以使用 CodeGPT 执行其他几项操作，包括记录代码、查找代码问题，比如从 Stackoverflow 获取问题以及将最佳人类答案与 AI 答案进行比较等。

使用人工智能生成的代码是一个有效的工具，但务请注意其潜在的限制，需要进行严格的代码测试步骤，以确保生成的代码具有高质量并满足项目的要求。

祝各位同好编码愉快~

通过使用 Gemini PHP 包，可以在 Laravel 应用程序中使用 Google 的Gemini AI API：

这个 Laravel 包围绕Gemini PHP Client构建（https://github.com/google-gemini-php/client），提供了一个界面来与可用的 API 和 AI 模型进行交互。

如下代码：

use GeminiLaravelFacadesGemini;

$result->text(); // 回复：Hello! How can I assist you today?

该项目自述文件的同级目录还包括有以下图片，我们可以提出有关该图片的问题，例如“这是一张什么图片？”

使用此扩展包可以轻松地将上面的图像提交给 Gemini Pro Vision API，使用以下代码：

$result = Gemini::geminiProVision()
->generateContent([
'这是一张什么图片?',
new Blob(
mimeType: MimeType::IMAGE_JPEG,
data: base64_encode(
file_get_contents('https://storage.googleapis.com/generativeai-downloads/images/scones.jpg')
)

)
]);
$result->text();

我们可以在 GitHub 上引用此扩展包：

https://github.com/google-gemini-php/laravel

此外，官方Gemini 文档和开发人员 API 参考（https://ai.google.dev/docs）以及gemini.google.com都是很好的文档参考。
