Start with the decision you need to make. These guides were reviewed in October 2026 and include primary sources, explicit assumptions, or companion material. Each article identifies whether its examples were executed offline or are a proposed evaluation plan.
Connect an application to an AI model
Start with the Responses API tutorial to understand conversation state, billing boundaries, and a bounded Python tool loop. It includes mock checks that run without an API key.
Then use the function-calling guide to map call identifiers across providers and separate argument validation from authorization.
For a protected remote tool server, the MCP OAuth guide separates token validation from tenant permissions and provides negative-test cases.
Make coding agents work with your repository
The AGENTS.md guide explains instruction discovery and provides a worksheet for checking which files a client actually loads.
The SonarQube MCP setup guide supplies a documented VS Code configuration and a verification sequence that ties findings to the analyzed revision.
For a team rollout, the Copilot Enterprise guide covers permissions, model selection, billing evidence, and acceptance criteria.
Use the code-index comparison to test retrieval freshness, and the context-engineering workflow to build a task packet tied to current source.
The browser-tools guide turns a UI finding into reproducible acceptance criteria. The SonarQube review workflow checks whether an analysis actually describes the proposed commit.
For tool selection, compare open-source coding-agent workflows, read the current Continue maintenance comparison, or use the Bugbot pilot scorecard to distinguish valid findings from a supplier’s resolution metric.
Design and evaluate an agent workflow
Read the multi-agent system design guide before selecting a framework. It provides an example handoff contract, task budgets, and recovery questions.
The LangGraph, CrewAI, and Dapr comparison maps documented persistence capabilities to a common failure-injection worksheet. The worksheet contains proposed cases, not fabricated benchmark results.
The automated red-teaming guide includes an executed synthetic authorization fixture. The All-AI-Jailbreaks archive review explains what a prompt collection’s metadata can establish and how to turn a candidate into an authorized defensive test.
The broader LLM red-team runbook defines evidence and outcome categories. The AAIF governance guide separates project stewardship from deployment guarantees.
Compare Docker Sandboxes and gVisor with hosted alternatives for execution boundaries, then E2B, Daytona and Blaxel for persistence and recovery behavior.
Choose a model or app-building workflow
The Ornith model review separates supplier scores from model variants and a reproducible weight-memory calculation.
The Replit Agent review is a documentation-based assessment with acceptance cases for persistence, authorization, rollback, handoff, and billing.
The Grok release and migration review explains legacy model names. The Llama 4 API guide separates model-card attributes from provider limits. The local-agent guide checks the full data path beyond local inference.
Evaluate a concrete application
The multimodal guide uses invoice extraction to distinguish structural validation from image-reading accuracy. The ComfyUI workflow guide provides an inspectable graph and an explicitly limited reference check.
The finance guide shows how a high accuracy figure can hide fraud-review workload. The game-AI guide keeps generated dialogue separate from authoritative quest state.
Plan a budget and interpret adoption claims
Use the cost-per-developer calculator to separate cash expense, hardware allocation, and incremental review effort. The home-budget guide applies the same method to local hardware and electricity.
Before relying on a popularity ranking, read how to interpret AI coding adoption evidence. It preserves each statistic’s source year and population and explains why overlapping survey selections are not exclusive market share.
For API reconciliation, the Grok pricing guide separates uncached input, cached input, output and tool charges, with dated rates and executable arithmetic.
