Generate product launch copy + images + video with AI

AI compresses launch prep from weeks to days — but only if you know which artifacts AI handles vs which need humans.

Debug production issues with an LLM in the loop

Practical patterns for using Claude / GPT-5 / Cursor when production is on fire and you have to ship a fix.

Terminology★★★★★7 min read

Temperature, top-p, top-k: sampling parameters explained

Three knobs that control how creative or boring your model output is. Most people leave them at default; the defaults are usually wrong.

System prompt vs user prompt: who's in charge here

Two parts of an LLM message that get treated very differently. Mixing them up is the most common API mistake.

LoRA vs fine-tuning vs RAG: which solves which problem

Three different ways to make an LLM do what you want. Picking the wrong one wastes weeks. Here's the decision framework.

How to cut your LLM API bill in half without dropping quality

Prompt caching, model routing, output capping, and four other optimizations that compound. Real production teams cut bills by 50-80%.

What 'Mixture of Experts' (MoE) actually means

Why a 'huge' model can be cheaper to run than a smaller one — and why DeepSeek, Mixtral, and Llama 4 all bet on this architecture.

AI alignment: what it is, why labs argue about it

Alignment is the work of making models do what humans actually want — not what we literally said.

AGI vs ASI: definitions, timelines, and why they matter

Two acronyms get thrown around as if everyone agrees what they mean. They don't.

LLM observability: logging, tracing, evals

If you can't see what your agent did and why, you can't fix it. The 2026 stack and the four signals that matter.
