AI builder essentials: Tokens, Context Windows, RAG 101

Experience these concepts in action here. → https://goo.gle/4wpbQqC
Demystify the foundational concepts of building with AI in this conversational breakdown about tokens, context windows, and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). In this video, we cover ""vibe-coding"" concepts including: how large language models (LLMs) operate using tokens, what a context window is, how RAG helps augment model inference with real-time data, conversation compression, and the economics of ""token maxxing."
