How to Make a Text Classifier Using an LLM
Classification-with-Confidence follows an LLM classifier from Yes-or-No token probabilities through calibration, routing, and task-specific fine-tuning.
Give an Agent a Tool
A demonstration of a fundamental paradigm shift in computer programming: from writing explicit code for every scenario to giving intelligent agents the right tools and letting them figure it out. This project shows how the same task that requires hundreds of lines of complex branching logic in traditional programming becomes simple and flexible with agentic AI. Through a real-world example of extracting contacts from varied CSV formats, we compare traditional approaches against agent-based data processing that handles unexpected formats without code changes, demonstrating the 'give an agent a tool' paradigm in action.

How to Handle a Vibe-Coding Client
How to align vibe coding with your technology stack to create opportunities for developers instead of threatening them.
Project Plan Files: A Simple Technique for AI-Assisted Development
Keep your AI pair programming sessions focused and efficient with a simple technique: maintaining a project-plan.md file in your repository. Here's how this approach has transformed our development workflow.
The Paradox of Automation
Replacing jobs with automation can lead to the creation of more jobs than before. Despite uncertainty about how AI will impact the labor force, we do know a lot about how it will create new job opportunities and how to prepare for them.
Rethinking AI Hallucination: The Unsung Hero of LLM Problem-Solving
AI hallucinations are often seen as a critical flaw, but what if they're actually a feature that can lead to innovative problem-solving? This article explores how we can reframe our perspective on AI hallucinations and leverage them for creative solutions.
LangChain by Example
Learn how easy it can be to implement LLM applications through real-world AI use cases, like: What can I make with this one avocado?
Maximize Profit, Not Intelligence
2024 won't just be about ever-smarter artificial intelligence. It will be about intelligently using artificial intelligence. Unless you're an AI researcher, your goal is to maximize profit. Not intelligence.
