Jacob Lev worked on the safety-research/safety-tooling repository, focusing on backend enhancements and developer experience improvements over a two-month period. He delivered a Gopher Prompt Integration, implementing chat-style prompting for base models by introducing a gopher_format method and a dedicated prompt template in Python. Jacob also strengthened inference reliability by improving error handling for Anthropic and OpenAI API calls, ensuring robust validation of API responses. Additionally, he enhanced onboarding and interoperability by updating documentation, providing clear code examples, and enabling OpenRouter as an alternative provider. His work demonstrated depth in API development, prompt engineering, and technical documentation using Python and Markdown.

April 2025 in safety-tooling: Delivered Gopher Prompt Integration for chat-style prompting with base models; implemented gopher_format in Prompt and added Gopher template via special_prompts.py. Hardened inference reliability by strengthening error handling for Anthropic and OpenAI API calls and validating responses to prevent crashes when tokens or content are missing. These changes reduce production incidents, improve developer experience, and lay groundwork for more robust prompt strategies.
