Mastering Context Engineering for Claude Code: A Practical Guide to Optimizing LLM Outputs In the realm of AI-driven coding tools like Claude Code, the days of blaming “AI slop” on the model itself are long gone. Today, the onus falls squarely on the user—and the single most controllable input in these black-box systems is context. So, how do we optimize context to unlock the full potential of large language models (LLMs) like Claude Code? This comprehensive guide will break down everything you need to know about context engineering, from the basics of what context is to advanced strategies for maximizing …

Why Smart AI Founders Are Ditching Fine-Tuning — and Betting on Context Engineering How a painful startup lesson led one NLP veteran to redefine what “intelligence” really means in the AI age. 1. The Startup That Was Crushed by Its Own Model Meet Peak, a co-founder of Manus and a veteran with over 10 years of experience in Natural Language Processing (NLP). A few years ago, Peak launched an ambitious AI startup. Like many others at the time, his team decided to go all in on training their own model. They believed that with enough fine-tuning and computational horsepower, they …
