Делюсь опытом: ИИ-агент на Claude без LangChain и RAG — разбор архитектуры и развилок

Делюсь опытом: собрал прод-агента на Claude для небольшой студии дизайна интерьера. Чат отвечает на Haiku 4.5, генератор концепций — на Sonnet 4.6, фото из Pexels вместо DALL-E. Без LangChain, без векторной базы, без RAG-фреймворка. Один файл main.py на 712 строк, два промпта. В статье разбираю развилки: почему именно так, на каких граблях постоял (порог кэша 4096 у Haiku, парсинг JSON-обёртки от Sonnet), где этот подход начнёт ломаться. Не «гайд от... Read more

According to Dr Henry Legg, a lecturer at the University of St Andrews, the claims were undermined by omitted data, selective plotting, and basic Python errors that concealed alternative results.
