Tech Radars

Structured, quadrant-based snapshots of the tools and techniques worth adopting, trialing, assessing, or avoiding.

Tech Stack Breakdowns

In-depth teardowns of how AI tools and systems are actually architected — the stack, the decisions, and the tradeoffs.

Interactive Experiences

Hands-on demos and challenges — explore how LLMs tokenize, sample, attend, and fail, then put it all together with an agentic coding assistant and sharpen your context engineering skills.

Interactive demo

Tokenization Explorer

Type anything and watch it split into tokens in real time. See why "don’t" is two tokens, why spaces matter, and how numbers fragment.

Explore tokens →
Interactive demo

Temperature & Sampling

See how temperature, top-k, and top-p reshape the probability distribution LLMs draw from. Sample tokens and watch the histogram build up.

Explore sampling →
Interactive demo

Attention Heatmap

See how each token attends to every other token inside a transformer. Switch between 8 attention heads and explore patterns like coreference, syntax, and positional bias.

Interactive demo

Hallucination Anatomy

Not all hallucinations are alike. Explore six distinct failure modes — confabulation, knowledge cutoff, rare facts, reasoning errors, sycophancy, and instruction bleed — with real examples and mitigations.

Interactive demo

The Latent Space

Explore how text becomes vectors, similarity becomes distance, and search becomes "what's nearby?" in embedding space.

AI Assistant Internals

Load a repo, enter a prompt, and watch the context window fill up — system prompt, AGENTS.md, skills, tool calls, and all.
