LLMs, Semantic Search & a Bit of Word2Vec

Blog updates, workshop prep, and links worth your time

👋 Intro

Hey! Right now, I'm busy preparing my small workshop for Frontend Nation on June 5. I’ll show how to use transformers.js to add semantic search to a Nuxt blog. You can check out the event here: frontendnation.com

In the meantime, I also wrote a blog post about how I use LLMs and shared some helpful tips.

I also gave a talk at the Typescript Meetup this week in Munich. I can highly recommend it if you ever have the chance.

🔗 3 Links I Loved

  1. How to Build AI Agents (Short Book)
    Quick and useful read if you're curious about building AI agents.

  2. A Simple Search Engine from Scratch
    Great post about building a simple similarity search using word2vec. My upcoming workshop explores similar ideas—but we’ll use regular transformer models instead.

  3. Building on LLMs – PyCon US Workshop
    Cool takeaways from a 3-hour workshop by the legend Simon Willison on how to build software with LLMs.

Next week I will be at https://www.localfirstconf.com/ in Berlin so I will probaly have some cool Insights to share then.

Best,

Alex
