What I learned from looking at 900 most popular open source AI tools
Chip Huyen analyzed 896 open source AI repos (845 software) to map the modern AI stack into three layers: infrastructure, model development, and application. The analysis reveals the dominant tool categories — includi...
Common pitfalls when building generative AI applications
GenAI projects fail not from model limitations but from premature complexity and poor UX—Chip Huyen's case studies from LinkedIn and Intuit reveal how to navigate the 80%→95% quality gap.
Agents
Chip Huyen's agentic system framework breaks down how foundation models power autonomous agents through tools and planning, with evaluation strategies for catching failure modes unique to agent workflows.
Building A Generative AI Platform
Chip Huyen details a modular reference architecture for production GenAI platforms, progressing from basic API calls through context augmentation, guardrails, routing, caching, and observability.
