Building a "Lawyer GPT" for Your Blog - Part 1: Introduction & Architecture

Buckle in because this is going to be a long series! If you've been following along with this blog, you'll know I'm a bit obsessed with finding interesting ways to use LLMs and AI in practical applications. Well, I've got a new project that combines my love of…

Building a "Lawyer GPT" for Your Blog - Fine Tuning LLM Alternative: RAG with Qdrant and Generic Online LLMs

In my 8-part "Lawyer GPT" series, I showed you how to build a complete local RAG-based writing assistant using GPU acceleration, local LLMs, and vector databases. It's powerful, private, and runs entirely on your hardware. But let's be honest - not everyone…

How Neural Machine Translation Actually Works: A Developer's Guide

If you've been following this blog, you know I'm a bit obsessed with machine translation. I've written about using EasyNMT, building background translation services, and even improving EasyNMT. But I realized I've never actually explained how neural machine…

Rampage over...AI mania and its costs.

So, quick post to explain why I went nuts releasing stuff this week. Like any ancient developer, I have a whole archive of little projects I started, then gave up on, over the years. WELL, it turns out tools like Claude Code are like completion machines! This…

LLMApi: Keeping It Lively and Alive, Chunking and Caching

In my LLMApi project I wanted to be able to support asking for LOTS of data; however LLMs have a very limited amount of data they can output at one time; and aren't particularly fast about doing it. So I needed to add a clever way of pre-generting that data…

LLMApi: Using Local LLMs to Automatically Simulate APIs in ASP.NET Core MinimalAPI

One of my constant obsessions is sample data. It's an often annoying aspect of developing systems that you have the catch 22 of needing data to appropritately test fucntionality while developing the system which would let you create said data. Combined with my…
