AI & LLM integration patterns
Call LLM APIs, structure prompts, parse responses, and ship AI features safely.
How to Build a Data Helper for LLM Prompts in Python
A beginner-friendly helper class that flattens nested dictionaries, formats prompt templates, and safely parses JSON for AI/LLM pipelines.
import json
from typing import Any, Dict, List, Optional
class DataHelper:
"""Simple helper class for working with data in AI/LLM pipelines."""
def __init__(self, data: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None) -> None:
self.data = data or {}
def flatten(self, prefix: str = "") -> Dict[str, Any]…
How to cache embeddings with a Python dict to avoid recomputation
Caches embeddings computed from text in a dictionary keyed by SHA-256 hash, returning cached results for repeated calls.
import hashlib
import time
class EmbeddingCache:
def __init__(self):
self.cache = {}
def _hash_text(self, text):
return hashlib.sha256(text.encode()).hexdigest()
def get_embedding(self, text, compute_func):
key = self._hash_text(text)
if key not in self.cache:
…
How to parallel map embeddings with a thread pool in Python
Run embedding computations in parallel using ThreadPoolExecutor, collect results into a dict keyed by the original item.
import threading
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
import time
def compute_embedding(item: int) -> tuple[int, int]:
time.sleep(0.05) # Simulate embedding work
return item, item * 10
def parallel_map_embed(items, max_workers=3):
results = {}
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=max_w…
