Organizes LLM education into three progressive learning tracks (Fundamentals, Scientist, Engineer) with explicit entry points and dependency mapping, implemented as a single markdown hub that links to ~150+ external resources. Users navigate via a hierarchical section structure that maps learning paths to specific topics, with each topic following a consistent pattern of curated articles, videos, and tools. The architecture uses a documentation-first approach where the README.md acts as a central knowledge graph rather than containing executable code.
Unique: Uses a three-track learning path architecture (Fundamentals/Scientist/Engineer) with explicit optional vs. core topic designation, enabling learners to skip prerequisites based on background. Most LLM courses use linear progression; this enables parallel tracks with clear entry points.
vs alternatives: More structured and goal-oriented than generic LLM resource lists (e.g., Awesome-LLM), with explicit learning paths vs. flat collections of links
Aggregates 24 theoretical topics across three learning paths and embeds curated external references (articles, papers, videos, tools) directly within each topic section. Implementation uses a consistent topic section pattern where each topic links to 3-8 external resources selected for pedagogical value. The curation layer filters and organizes content from diverse sources (research papers, blog posts, YouTube, GitHub projects) into a single navigable structure without duplicating content.
Unique: Implements a consistent topic section pattern (theory + curated resources + tools) across 24 topics, enabling predictable navigation. Each topic embeds ~3-8 hand-selected external resources rather than generating them, ensuring quality over quantity.
vs alternatives: More curated and pedagogically structured than raw resource aggregators; provides context and organization vs. flat link collections like Awesome-LLM

Automatically generates vector embeddings for Strapi content entries using configurable AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models). Hooks into Strapi's lifecycle events to trigger embedding generation on content creation/update, storing dense vectors in PostgreSQL via pgvector extension. Supports batch processing and selective field embedding based on content type configuration.
Unique: Strapi-native plugin that integrates embeddings directly into content lifecycle hooks rather than requiring external ETL pipelines; supports multiple embedding providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, local) with unified configuration interface and pgvector as first-class storage backend
vs alternatives: Tighter Strapi integration than generic embedding services, eliminating the need for separate indexing pipelines while maintaining provider flexibility
Executes semantic similarity search against embedded content using vector distance calculations (cosine, L2) in PostgreSQL pgvector. Accepts natural language queries, converts them to embeddings via the same provider used for content, and returns ranked results based on vector similarity. Supports filtering by content type, status, and custom metadata before similarity ranking.
Unique: Integrates semantic search directly into Strapi's query API rather than requiring separate search infrastructure; uses pgvector's native distance operators (cosine, L2) with optional IVFFlat indexing for performance, supporting both simple and filtered queries

Allows fine-grained configuration of which fields from each Strapi content type should be embedded, supporting text concatenation, field weighting, and selective embedding. Configuration is stored in Strapi's plugin settings and applied during content lifecycle hooks. Supports nested field selection (e.g., embedding both title and author.name from related entries) and dynamic field filtering based on content status or visibility.
Unique: Provides Strapi-native configuration UI for field mapping rather than requiring code changes; supports content-type-specific strategies and nested field selection through a declarative configuration model
