That is useful for chatbots, but often we need to integrate LLMs with other systems. We may want the model to query a database, call an external API, or perform calculations.</p>https://www.caktusgroup.com/blog/2025/10/02/learning-llm-basics-openai/Thu, 02 Oct 2025 09:00:00 -0400https://www.caktusgroup.com/blog/2025/10/02/learning-llm-basics-openai/<p>For some time now, we&rsquo;ve been using tools like ChatGPT and CoPilot for day-to-day tasks, but mostly through the conversational AI chatbots they provide. We&rsquo;ve used them for everything from drafting emails to providing type-ahead coding assistance. We haven&rsquo;t, however, gone a step further and integrated them into a development project. Honestly, we weren&rsquo;t sure where to start. Looking into the available options, you quickly run into a dozen new concepts, from vector stores to agents, and different SDKs that all seem to solve similar problems.</p>
