  • LlamaIndex Simplifying Data Retrieval

    Introduction Most often using forms of LLM’s with a front-end UI has constraints for memory primarily because this is using the ChatCompletionsClient to initiate the conversation. This is stateless in nature meaning it is only limited to that session and the LLM’s knowledge for what is represented back to the end user, over time this…

  • Phi-3.5 Mixture of Experts

The first question depending how much you’re following along with the constant upstream releases of models is the…

  • AI Agents with LangGraph

    Introduction Agents are the next iteration of taking traditional stateless interactions with LLM’s to a stateful interaction with the use of typically Assistants API or extending using a framework. Some popular ways to create a agent workflow are tools such as Promptflow, CrewAI, LangGraph, LangChain and others. For this blog post I’m going to demonstrate…

  • RouteLLM Unlocking Cost Effective LLM Routing

    Introduction Costs associated with using closed-source large language models can add up in the use cases of complex tasks due to the nature of how tokens are priced for using APIs. RouteLLM is a open-sourced project that creates a method to determine based on the query a user sends which LLM to choose based on…
