How to Build a Fully Searchable AI Knowledge Base with OpenKB, OpenRouter, and Llama
In this tutorial, we explore how to build and query a local knowledge base with OpenKB using a free, open model via OpenRouter. We securely retrieve the API key with getpass, set up the environment without hardcoding secrets, and initialize a structured, wiki-style knowledge base from scratch. As we...
How to Build Smarter Multilingual Text Wrapping with BudouX Through Parsing, HTML Rendering, Model Introspection, and Toy Training
In this tutorial, we explore how we use BudouX to bring intelligent, phrase-aware line breaking to languages where whitespace is not naturally present, such as Japanese, Chinese, and Thai. We begin by setting up the library and working with its default parsers to understand how raw text is segmented...
A Coding Tutorial on Datashader on Rendering Massive Datasets with High-Performance Python Visual Analytics
In this tutorial, we explore Datashader, a powerful, high-performance visualization library for rendering massive datasets that quickly overwhelm traditional plotting tools. We work through its full rendering pipeline in Google Colab, starting from dense point clouds and reduction-based aggregations...
In a letter to the residents of Tumbler Ridge, Canada, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said he is “deeply sorry” that his company failed to alert law enforcement about the suspect in a recent mass shooting.
