AI engineering guides

Step-by-step how-tos for shipping production AI — building RAG pipelines, evaluating LLMs, fine-tuning, serving open models, and monitoring what runs. Written from doing the work, not reading about it.

An agent-skills workflow you can actually verify

Try one skill on a small task, measure its context cost, and keep a before-and-after evaluation. A free practical lesson for engineers.

Agent SkillsClaude CodeEvals

How to build a RAG pipeline

An end-to-end walkthrough of a production RAG system: ingestion, chunking, embeddings, vector store, retrieval, reranking, generation, and the eval loop.

RAGAI EngineeringRetrieval

How to chunk documents for RAG

A practitioner's guide to fixed-size, recursive, semantic, and structural chunking — with the size, overlap, and metadata tradeoffs that move retrieval quality.

How to deploy vLLM in production

A practitioner's guide to serving open-source LLMs with vLLM: batching, KV cache, quantization, multi-GPU, autoscaling, and metrics.

vLLMInferenceInfrastructure

How to evaluate LLMs

A practitioner's guide to LLM evaluation: golden datasets, LLM-as-judge, deterministic metrics, and regression gating in CI.

LLM EvalsAI EngineeringTesting

How to fine-tune an LLM

A practitioner's guide to deciding when to fine-tune, using LoRA and QLoRA, preparing data, evaluating results, and serving adapters in production.

Fine-tuningLoRAAI Engineering

How to monitor LLM apps in production

A practitioner's guide to tracing, cost and latency metrics, online quality checks, drift detection, and feedback loops for production LLM systems.

ObservabilityMonitoringAI Engineering

How to reduce LLM hallucinations

Practical techniques to ground, constrain, and verify LLM output so it stops inventing facts in production.
