#1 about 5 min

Introduction to prototyping and building practical AI applications

How to prototype software applications that sit between raw machine learning models and scaled production systems.

#2 about 3 min

Understanding the evolution and nature of large language models

How modern large language models differ from earlier specialized systems by functioning as general, probabilistic predictors.

#3 about 6 min

Steering model behavior through effective prompt engineering techniques

Applying personas, structured outputs, and chain-of-thought methods effectively guides probabilistic models toward accurate code generation.

#4 about 3 min

Integrating customized context with retrieval augmented generation approaches

Enhancing model prompts with personalized developer context requires varied retrieval mechanisms rather than generalized single-vendor solutions.

#5 about 4 min

Evaluating and observing large language model performance at scale

Measuring AI application accuracy demands offline evaluation frameworks and production telemetry instead of traditional test assertions.

#6 about 5 min

Designing user experiences defensively against AI application failures

Building intuitive intuitive workflow interfaces keeps developers in meaningful control while anticipating system latency and probabilistic generation errors.

#7 about 7 min

Comparing user interface patterns and the limitations of chat

Overcoming the unreliability of open-ended conversational interfaces involves implementing multi-step structured workflows that permit manual plan validation.

#8 about 3 min

Assessing the real world implications of AI integration

Questioning the assumed necessity of artificial intelligence within critical business systems prevents negative practical consequences for human users.
