PhD Candidate Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing| Joris Baan
As a PhD candidate doing AI research, and a former ML engineer, I am not sure what to think of the bombardment of new AI models and tools and if or how I should integrate them into my workflow. On the one hand, I am amazed and curious and excited to test them out. On the other hand, it’s overwhelming and I feel a certain pressure to use them, and a restlessness about (the future of) my way of working and the field at large.| Joris Baan
Introduction The aim of this project is to learn about the fundamentals of modern, scalable web applications by designing, building and deploying an AI-powered chat app from scratch. We won’t use fancy frameworks or commercial platforms like ChatGPT. This will provide a better understanding of how real-world systems work under the hood, and give us full control over the language model, infrastructure, data and costs. The focus will be on engineering, backend and cloud deployment, rather tha...| Joris Baan
Introduction In the previous post, we built an AI-powered chat application on our local computer using microservices. Our stack included FastAPI, Docker, Postgres, Nginx and llama.cpp. The goal of this post is to learn more about the fundamentals of cloud deployment and scaling by deploying our app to Azure, making it available to real users. I hope this post will offer a glimpse of the principles behind an AI web app in production.| Joris Baan
