Week 80 — Memory/context
LLM training, RAG, agents, and evaluation · Implement
Medium
Phase 7 — LLM training, RAG, agents, and evaluation
Overview
Conversation memory, context optimizer
Mode this week: implement. Match the work to that mode (operating model): implement ships running code; read/diagram ships a doc; deploy/benchmark ships a measured run. Personal dates, checkboxes, and the RPG layer stay in a learner journal.
Core deliverable
Memory service
Optional depth
Add a production-shaped benchmark, cost or safety analysis, and an architecture trade-off note.
Week loop (from the cookiecutter journal)
- Mon — Theory: Conversation memory, context optimizer
- Tue — Build: start the core deliverable above
- Wed — Systems / papers: one paper or system note (see below if this week has assigned reading)
- Thu — Eval / interview: write the four evidence items
- Fri — Algorithmic Forge: Pattern detector or retrieval index; Week 81 string boss (45-120 min; Core / Supporting)
Forge theme: KMP, Aho–Corasick, trie retrieval, sequence DP, suffix-array survey
Leetcode Darbar (parallel)
This week's band (70-81): Strings, tries, graphs, sequence DP. Production connection: Tokenization, retrieval, agents, guardrails.
Standard: one aligned problem. Auror: the five-slot queue on the Darbar page. Tracker stays in the learner journal.
Topics: graphs · string · trie
- All Paths From Source To Target · medium · graphs
- Binary Tree Paths · easy · string
- Word Search Ii · hard · trie
Agent papers
This week sits on the GenAI agents track. Read the assigned paper and connect it to the focus above.
- Generative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior (arXiv 2304.03442) — Simulating multi-agent societies
Evidence contract
Every core week records all four (cookiecutter journal/weeks/week_080.md):
- Code / implementation (or the design artifact on a writing week)
- Benchmark / result
- Design doc / technical explanation
- Retrospective / learning note (Sailboat: destination, wind, anchor, rocks, heading)
