In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the way we interact with technology. From enhancing productivity to enabling creative applications, their potential is vast. How challenging is it to run a powerful LLM directly on your PC or laptop? LM Studio is a user-friendly app that allows you to easily manage and run LLMs on your computer. It offers a streamlined interface, making it accessible even for those new to machine learning. In this video tutorial, Miloš Švaňa walks users through how to choose, download, and run an…

New frameworks and tools are constantly emerging, each promising to make our lives easier and our applications faster. But every so often, a framework comes along that doesn’t just promise incremental improvements—it redefines the game. Qwik is one such framework: built by performance nerds, for performance nerds.  Qwik introduces novel architecture that eliminates the need for the traditional UI hydration process, a step that often bogs down web apps with unnecessary overhead. Instead of rehydrating the entire UI on the client side, Qwik only activates the parts of the application…

If you want to improve your product by developing new AI features built on top of large language models (LLMs), you have many options to choose from.
