Designing RESTful APIs for LLMs requires careful consideration. After building 30+ LLM APIs, I’ve learned what works. Here’s the complete guide to RESTful AI API design. Figure 1: RESTful AI API Architecture Why LLM APIs Are Different LLM APIs have unique requirements: Async operations: LLM inference can take seconds or minutes Streaming responses: Need to […]

Quantization Methods for LLMs: GPTQ, AWQ, and BitsAndBytes
Last year, I needed to run a 13B parameter model on a 16GB GPU. Full precision required 52GB. After testing GPTQ, AWQ, and BitsAndBytes, I reduced memory to 7GB with minimal accuracy loss. After quantizing 30+ models, I’ve learned which method works best for each scenario. Here’s the complete guide to LLM quantization. Figure 1: […]

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 […]

Three months into production, our RAG system started failing at 2AM. Not gracefully—complete outages. The problem wasn’t the models or the embeddings. It was the architecture. After rebuilding it twice, here’s what I learned about building RAG systems that actually work in production. Figure 1: Production RAG Architecture Overview The Night Everything Broke It was […]
