AI Hallucinations: Why Models Confabulate
LLMs don't have intent - but they can confabulate. Why next-token prediction leads to confident nonsense, and how to spot it.
Embeddings: Text as Searchable Geometry
Embeddings turn text into numbers that capture meaning. Understanding this unlocks semantic search, RAG, and why 'similar' doesn't necessarily mean what you think.
Decoding & Sampling: Temperature, Top-p, and Determinism
Why does the same prompt give different answers? Understanding temperature, top-p, and why 'temperature 0' isn't actually deterministic.
Tokenization: Why Wording Matters
LLMs don't read words - they read tokens. Tokenization explains why small rephrases change outputs, why some languages cost more, and how to budget context like an engineer.
What is an LLM? (No Math Edition)
Understanding Large Language Models without drowning in equations. How they predict, learn, and why understanding this makes you a better AI engineer.
Behind the Build: SR Weather – AI That Knows What Time It Is
How I built a weather app where Google Gemini understands your local time zone - and why that one detail changed everything.
