I Tried Building an AI Agent — Here's What Actually Broke
I spent a few days building a basic AI agent from scratch. Not the polished kind you see in demos. Here is what actually happened.
Running LLMs Locally vs API: What I Actually Observed
I tested running LLaMA 3 locally via Ollama against Gemini's free API - same prompts, honest results. Here's what actually changes when you move from API-based models to local ones.
From ML Models to AI Systems: What Actually Changes
There's a gap between building models and building AI systems that work in production. Here's what I've learned about what actually matters when you make that shift.
Agentic AI: Why Autonomous Systems Are the Next Big Shift
Agents aren't just a trend — they represent a fundamental shift in how AI systems operate. Here's what I've learned building and studying autonomous AI systems.
Building a RAG Pipeline from Scratch: What I Learned
A practical walkthrough of building a Retrieval-Augmented Generation system — what worked, what didn't, and why RAG is one of the most useful patterns in production AI.
