🎉 Running On-Device LLMs in .NET MAUI 🎉 Apple Intelligence is an on-device, private LLM that costs $0 per token. It's not perfect (yet), but super easy to utilize thanks to Microsoft Maui Essentials AI. Check it out! 👇 #dotnet #csharp codetraveler.io/2026/08/24/r...

Introducing the Open Source Maintenance Fee for Polly thepollyproject.org/2026/07/14/p...

Your LLM will eventually say something you really don't want it to say. We can now unit test for that in .NET: ViolenceEvaluator scores responses 0-7, and my test fails above a 1. #dotnet #csharp codetraveler.io/2026/08/10/e...

We are live!! Come join us to hear the latest on the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz0r...

How do you unit test a .NET app when an LLM never gives the same response twice? You grade the MEANING, not the string. Using EquivalenceEvaluator​ in Microsoft.Extensions.AI​, we can now score LLM responses on a scale of 1-5. #dotnet #csharp codetraveler.io/2026/08/03/u...
