Posts that use this term

• Wiring a local LLM into the tools you already use

  How to point VS Code (Continue, Cline), web chat UIs (Open WebUI, LibreChat, Page Assist), and your own code at a local model using the OpenAI-compatible API. Swap cloud for local without rewriting anything.

• What leaves your machine when you use AI

  What providers actually see, log, and keep when you call an LLM API in 2026. What "we don't train on your data" really means, how free and paid tiers differ, and when local is the only safe choice.

• Where AI actually runs: cloud, local, edge

  When you use AI, a model file is sitting on a real machine. There are only three places it can be, and which one decides almost everything else.

• The context window, and why models hallucinate

  An LLM only sees a fixed-size slice of text at a time. When it doesn't know something, it predicts anyway. That's a hallucination, not a bug.

• From models to LLMs

  An LLM is one kind of ML model, trained on text, predicts the next token. That single trick at scale gets you ChatGPT, and also explains where it breaks.

• What makes a model: data and algorithm

  A model is a file of learned numbers, produced by running an algorithm over data. Both ingredients matter, but bad data beats a good algorithm every time.

• AI, in plain words

  What "AI" actually means, where the term came from, and why every product calls itself AI now. Sets up where machine learning and deep learning fit underneath.
