Capstone: put the pipeline together with X-Ray vision

Welcome to the playground

Fully client-side chat simulation. Turn on X-Ray to see context budget, temperature, tool JSON, and next-token probabilities. Nothing leaves your browser.
Chat
12 / 128 tokens
System: “You are a helpful AI assistant.”(12 tokens)
Context usage
12 used128 max (toy)
Settings
Temperature0.5
Context (tokens)128
Next-token probabilities

Send a message to see probabilities

Capstone checklist

Click a row to check it off. Auto-checks still fire for chat/tool/temperature flows.

Key Insight

You have walked the full path: tokens fill a context window, the model samples the next token, tools and retrieval ground answers, and agents loop. Use real products with the same skepticism: check grounding, cost, and failure modes.

Claims this lesson makes

  • Teaching modelThe playground composes deterministic teaching simulators; it does not call a hosted language model.
