Optimize, deploy, and benchmark an open-source LLM with vLLM

DeepLearningAI · 2026-06-03 · 6,026 views · 🔥 354/day

Running open-source LLMs cheaply isn’t mostly about raw compute; it’s a memory fight between weights and KV cache. This breaks down how quantization plus vLLM features like PagedAttention and prefix caching let you compress, serve, and benchmark a Qwen model under realistic load. It matters because better memory use directly buys lower latency, lower cost, and saner accuracy tradeoffs.

  • Quantize weights before scaling traffic.
  • Use prefix caching for repeated prompts.
  • Benchmark latency, cost, and accuracy together.

The Best Way to Take Control of Your Local AI Model (llama.cpp)

Tonbi's AI Garage · 2026-06-03 · 8,458 views · 🔥 497/day

Want real control over local AI? Skip the wrappers: llama.cpp is the engine underneath most local-model apps, and running it directly unlocks the knobs that actually matter—structured output, tool use, context control, and hardware tuning. That matters if you want better reliability, speed, and an OpenAI-compatible local API without waiting for wrapper features.

  • Run llama.cpp directly for full control
  • Use schemas for reliable JSON output
  • Expose llama-server as local API

Build Your Own OpenClaw Using Vercel, Composio, Supermemory

freeCodeCamp.org · 2026-06-19 · 9,352 views · 🔥 9,352/day

Skip the agent hype and wire the stack: this walks through building an OpenClaw-style assistant with Vercel AI SDK, Composio, Supermemory, Telegram, and Cron. The useful bit is seeing how tool calling, OAuth, memory, auth, and scheduled jobs fit into one deployable system. That matters because most agent demos dodge the hard parts that make automation survive real users.

  • Start from Vercel's chatbot template.
  • Add OAuth tools before memory.
  • Ship Telegram and cron together.

Agents / Workflow

Build Hour: Agents SDK

OpenAI · 2026-05-28 · 17,502 views · 🔥 761/day

OpenAI’s updated Agents SDK is about giving agents real working memory, tools, and a sandbox so they can handle long-running, multi-step work without falling apart. The key shift is a model-native harness that ties together files, shell access, MCP, skills, and patching into a safer, more reliable loop. That matters because useful agents need to do actual work across systems, not just chat about it.

  • Use harness for reliable agent loops
  • Grant tools, memory, sandbox deliberately
  • Combine MCP, skills, and patching
