AI Application Engineering

Starting from Anthropic’s Contextual Retrieval article and Appendix II, these notes summarize the core method, experimental findings, and RAG architecture principles suitable for production.

A curated list of ten high-value articles on Contextual Retrieval, Context Engineering, and RAG evaluation, spanning Anthropic’s original publications, open-source implementation guides, and a review of 2025 trends.

A practical breakdown for AI engineers of what the M5’s changes over the M4—from CPU, cache, and memory bandwidth to Neural Accelerators—mean for local LLM and diffusion inference.

Prompt engineering? It may not be as simple as you think.

Understand LLM prompt injection and several fundamental defensive measures.
