Integrating AI into Applications
A recent demonstration highlights the potential of integrating small language models (LLMs) into existing applications. The process involves setting up a self-hosted LLM to generate suggestions for tasks in a to-do list application, using REST API calls to interact with the model. While the speed run video showcases the ease of implementing AI features, it raises important questions about local testing environments and maintaining consistency across developer setups. The need for reliable setups that ensure repeatability without incurring high costs is emphasized, fostering discussions around best practices for local development when using AI.
