Tokens are the meter your model charges in: context, latency, and cost. We'll make tokenization visible using your existing local Ollama service—first via a CLI token inspector + heatmap, then with a live-updating browser playground.
A practical deep dive into Heap Sort—how binary heaps work, why heap sort guarantees O(n log n), and how it compares to quicksort, mergesort, and selection sort across real systems.
Run a local LLM on macOS, Linux, or Windows, call it over HTTP like a real service, stream output in Node/Python/Go/C++, and measure TTFT + throughput to understand what's actually happening.
A deep, honest exploration of Quick Sort—how partitioning creates order, why average-case performance beats guarantees, and how design choices shape real-world speed.
How to wire AI into your CI pipeline, release process, and observability stack without handing the keys to an unreliable robot.
