Last year, I needed to run a 13B parameter model on a 16GB GPU. Full precision required 52GB. After testing GPTQ, AWQ, and BitsAndBytes, I reduced memory to 7GB with minimal accuracy loss. After quantizing 30+ models, I’ve learned which method works best for each scenario. Here’s the complete guide to LLM quantization. Figure 1: […]

AKS pod managed identity
Kubernetes has become one of the most popular container orchestration tools, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed Kubernetes service provided by Microsoft Azure. With the increasing use of Kubernetes and AKS, there is a growing need to improve the security and management of access to cloud resources. AKS pod managed identity is a […]

Introduction: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the go-to architecture for building LLM applications that need access to private or current information. By retrieving relevant documents and including them in the prompt, RAG grounds LLM responses in factual content, reducing hallucinations and enabling knowledge that wasn’t in the training data. But naive RAG implementations often disappoint—the […]

Executive Summary HL7 v3 was designed in the 1990s as the successor to HL7 v2, promising a rigorous, model-driven approach based on the Reference Information Model (RIM). Despite 20+ years of development and standardization, v3 never achieved widespread adoption. Understanding why v3 failed—and where it still matters—is crucial for architects navigating healthcare interoperability standards. 🏥 […]

Introduction: LLM applications face unique security challenges—prompt injection, data leakage, jailbreaking, and harmful content generation. Traditional security measures don’t address these AI-specific threats. This guide covers defensive techniques for production LLM systems: input sanitization, prompt injection detection, output filtering, rate limiting, content moderation, and audit logging. These patterns help you build LLM applications that are […]
Read more →What is different between Pod managed identity and AKS managed identity
Both Pod Managed Identity and AKS Managed Identity are identity management solutions provided by Azure, but they have some key differences. Pod Managed Identity Pod Managed Identity is an Azure feature that provides an identity for a single Kubernetes pod. It allows the pod to access Azure resources without the need for credentials such as […]
