LLM Memory Systems: Building Contextually Aware AI Applications

Introduction: Memory is what transforms a stateless LLM into a contextually aware assistant. Without memory, every interaction starts from scratch—the model has no knowledge of previous conversations, user preferences, or accumulated context. This guide covers the memory architectures that enable persistent, intelligent AI systems: conversation buffers for recent context, summary memory for long conversations, vector-based […]

Advanced LoRA Techniques: Multi-LoRA, LoRA+, and Beyond

Last year, I fine-tuned a 7B parameter model with standard LoRA. It worked, but accuracy was 5% lower than full fine-tuning. After experimenting with Multi-LoRA, LoRA+, and advanced techniques, I’ve achieved 98% of full fine-tuning performance with 1% of the parameters. Here’s everything you need to know about advanced LoRA techniques. Figure 1: LoRA Techniques […]

Tool Use and Function Calling: Extending LLM Capabilities with External Actions

Introduction: Function calling transforms LLMs from text generators into action-taking agents. Instead of just producing text responses, models can now decide when to call external functions, APIs, or tools to accomplish tasks. This capability enables building assistants that can search the web, query databases, send emails, execute code, and interact with any system that exposes […]
