New Beginnings, Learning And Doing

This week, my goal is to build a chat based application using search vector and RAG.

If you’re new to AI and LLMs, check out Vector Search RAG Tutorial from FreeCodeCamp. I'm working through the tutorial myself, but might want to adapt it for the stack I’m using. Also check out Andrej Karpathy’s talk, Software Is Changing (Again) for a high level view of where the industry is headed.
