Beyond the Black Box: The Mechanics of AI Coding Models
Treating AI coding assistants as magical oracles is a liability. To engineer efficiently with LLMs, you need to treat them as deterministic, resource-constrained systems. This means mastering the infrastructure: token economics, memory architecture, caching strategies, and execution loops.
1. Token Economics: Input vs. Output
LLMs ...
