Show HN: Ape – Exercises for Learning How to Build LLM Agents
ape.llm.phdI built a set of small hands-on exercises on how to build and debug LLM agents with various capabilities. The suite runs locally and covers tasks like:
- general llm-style chat: math Q&A
- tool use: hashing with tools
- image understanding
- web-browsing: (tic-tac-toe)
- code generation & execution
- memory across sessions
The idea isn’t benchmarking, but giving builders practical drills to see where agents succeed or fail. Useful for education, workshops, or self-study.
Would love feedback on what other exercises would make it more useful.
