πŸ—οΈπŸš’πŸš€ Vibe Coding with Cursor

Published about 2 months agoΒ β€’Β 2 min read

​

Hey, AIM community!

​

Next Wednesday, we cover a new agent orchestration framework: PydanticAI. The team "built PydanticAI to bring that FastAPI feeling to Gen AI app development" because everything else out there wasn't good enough.

Join Dr. Greg and The Wiz to help us assess whether or not they're accomplishing their mission as we learn to build, ship, and share a multi-agent application.

​

Last week, we explored Cursor An AI Engineer’s Guide to Vibe Coding and Beyond. In 2025, top engineers in industry and throughout our cohorts and community have moved beyond VS Code in their generative AI app stack. Enhanced stacks use Cursor as a code editor and uv for package management, while we still need the classic pieces including Git, CLI, Python notebooks, FastAPI, and Docker.

Cursor has redefined AI-augmented programming and also lies at the heart of the vibe coding people are talking about. We vibed our way through a dev setup and building a custom 🐍 existential Snake app

Optimization of LLMs: A Series Introduction

In this new series we will tackle an important topic from first principles: building and optimizing LLMs before they make it to production. What are the essential concepts and code that underlie the technology, from loss functions and gradient descent to LSTMs, RLHF, and GRPO. Join us to learn about Optimization of LLMs.

RAG: The 2025 Best-Practice Stack

There IS a correct answer for the best:

  1. 🎺 Orchestration framework
  2. ↗️ Vector database
  3. πŸ“ Evaluation framework

and much, much more. If you're interested in building production LLMs applications with off-the-shelf tools in 2025, you won't want to miss this.

🌐 Around the Community!

πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» We will be open-sourcing the concepts and code from LLM Engineering - Foundations to SLMs, Cohort 3 (Nov-Dec 2024) next Friday, March 7th. Join the YouTube premiere live at 7 PM PT!

The Llama 4 Herd

Hey, AI Makerspace community! This Wednesday, we'll cover the new release from OpenAI: Codex CLI, a lightweight coding agent that runs in your terminal. Carrying the same name as the original Codex models released in 2021, this new open-source tooling is a CLI-based coding agent that bears little resemblance to the model that originally powered GitHub Copilot. Join us to understand coding agents and best practices for their use in 2025 πŸ” Coming Up: What is an Agent? OpenAI just released their...

RAG: The 2025 Best Practice Stack

Hey, AIM community! Tomorrow, we'll cover Enterprise Agents with OpenAI! What does the agents SDK look like from OpenAI? How does it build on previous work they've done? Are they officially in the end-to-end platform game competing with orchestration frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, and others? Join us live to find out! Last week, we discussed RAG: The 2025 Best-Practice Stack This is the year of Practical RAG, and we kicked it off by unpacking the Minimum Viable...

DeepSeek Week

Hey, AIM community! On Wednesday, we'll cover the infra stack that we recommend for RAG in 2025. Then, we'll build, ship, and share a best-practice RAG app. We'll also discuss important production tradeoffs and implications that you should consider before and after deployment when going from zero to production RAG! Last week, we discussed the latest open-source repo drops from DeepSeek Week, and we covered how they're being used as a new best-practice way to do inference on MoE models via...
