Building a "Lawyer GPT" for Your Blog - Part 3: Understanding Embeddings & Vector Databases

Welcome to Part 3! We've got our GPU stack working (Part 2), and we understand the architecture (Part 1). Now it's time to dive into the magic that makes semantic search possible: embeddings and vector databases. NOTE: This is part of my experiments with AI…

Building a "Lawyer GPT" for Your Blog - Part 2: GPU Setup & CUDA in C#

Welcome to Part 2! In Part 1, we laid out the vision for building a writing assistant that uses your blog as a knowledge base - like how lawyers use LLMs trained on case law to draft documents. Now it's time to get our hands dirty with the foundation: making…

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…
