+Search-datasets consistency tests between Python (port 9380) and Go (port 9384) servers.
+Compares /api/v1/datasets/search endpoint responses for consistency between Python and Go.

+call the LLM independently and the chunk *count*, ordering, and scores can drift

+for human inspection but skips strict count/order/score comparisons in those cases.

+Artificial Intelligence
+Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to
+the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals. Leading AI textbooks define
+the field as the study of "intelligent agents": any system that perceives its environment
+and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals.
+AI applications include advanced web search engines (e.g., Google Search), recommendation
+systems (used by YouTube, Amazon, and Netflix), understanding human speech (such as Siri
+and Alexa), self-driving cars (e.g., Waymo), generative and creative tools (ChatGPT and
+AI art), and superhuman play and analysis in strategy games (such as chess and Go).
+
+Machine Learning
+Machine learning (ML) is a field of inquiry devoted to understanding and building methods
+that "learn" – that is, methods that leverage data to improve performance on some set of
+tasks. It is seen as a part of artificial intelligence. Machine learning algorithms build
+a model based on sample data, known as training data, in order to make predictions or
+decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so. Machine learning algorithms are
+used in a wide variety of applications, such as in medicine, email filtering, speech
+recognition, agriculture, and computer vision, where it is difficult or unfeasible to
+develop conventional algorithms to perform the needed tasks.
+
+Deep Learning
+Deep learning is part of a broader family of machine learning methods based on artificial
+neural networks with representation learning. Learning can be supervised, semi-supervised
+or unsupervised. Deep-learning architectures such as deep neural networks, deep belief
+networks, deep reinforcement learning, recurrent neural networks, convolutional neural
+networks and transformers have been applied to fields including computer vision, speech
+recognition, natural language processing, machine translation, bioinformatics, drug design,
+medical image analysis, climate science, material inspection and board game programs,
+where they have produced results comparable to and in some cases surpassing human expert
+performance.
