Semantic Code Search
There鈥檚 been a lot of buzz lately about Cursor, particularly its codebase indexing feature. This feature turns Cursor into a context-aware coding assistant. But how does it work, and can we build something similar? Let鈥檚 dive in. Understanding Cursor鈥檚 Magic Cursor鈥檚 codebase indexing, as explained in this forum post, works as follows: It chunks your codebase files locally. These chunks are then sent to Cursor鈥檚 server, where embeddings are created using either OpenAI鈥檚 embedding API or a custom embedding model....
Using Anthropic Models with Open WebUI
When it comes to code generation and critique, I鈥檝e found Anthropic鈥檚 models to be my top choice. In my experience, they consistently deliver higher quality outputs compared to OpenAI鈥檚 GPT-4. Claude.ai, the official WebUI for Anthropic models, provides a streamlined interface for interacting with these models. However, it has a significant drawback: strict rate limits that can be quickly reached. To overcome this rate limit of claude.ai or chatgpt.com, many developers turn to open-source solutions....
AI Design Pattern: Guardrails
Guardrails in AI are essential controls that ensure AI systems do not generate or process inappropriate content. These controls fall into two categories: input guardrails and output guardrails. Input guardrails filter out unsuitable data before it reaches the AI system, while output guardrails prevent the AI from producing harmful content. In this post, we鈥檒l build on an example from the OpenAI cookbook to create a GenAI chatbot equipped with both input and output guardrails....
