The Landscape

In 2026, you have more options than ever for running AI privately. Here's every viable approach:

These exercises are some I did while studying for COMP2521, as well as some others which I've found afterwards which I think will be relevant. I've collected these problems mostly from LeetCode and HackerRank, which are excellent sites for practicing your coding abilities. Accounts on both sites will be necessary to do the problems listed.

The difficulty ranking is obviously my opinion, but generally speaking here is what they mean:

• Easy: Problems that you should be able to do without too much difficulty.
• Intermediate: Problems that are a bit harder, but should be doable with a little bit of thought and intuition.
• Challenges: Problems that I think are difficult and/or interesting, if you're up for it. There are almost all harder than what's within the scope of 2521.

If you're able to solve the easy and intermediate problems without much difficulty, you're probably very well prepared for any programming questions you'll receive in the ex

LLM Wiki

A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.

This is an idea file, it is designed to be copy pasted to your own LLM Agent (e.g. OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode / Pi, or etc.). Its goal is to communicate the high level idea, but your agent will build out the specifics in collaboration with you.

The core idea

Most people's experience with LLMs and documents looks like RAG: you upload a collection of files, the LLM retrieves relevant chunks at query time, and generates an answer. This works, but the LLM is rediscovering knowledge from scratch on every question. There's no accumulation. Ask a subtle question that requires synthesizing five documents, and the LLM has to find and piece together the relevant fragments every time. Nothing is built up. NotebookLM, ChatGPT file uploads, and most RAG systems work this way.
