Week 1 Exercise - Tech Question Explainer
Author: Philip Omoigui
Description
A technical question explainer tool that demonstrates familiarity with both OpenAI API and Ollama. This tool:
- Takes a technical question
- Gets responses from both GPT-4o-mini and Llama 3.2
- Compares the two responses using GPT-5-nano
- Evaluates which explanation is better for beginners
Features
- Dual Model Response: Uses both OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini and local Llama 3.2
- Streaming Output: Real-time display of responses as they're generated
- Automated Comparison: Uses GPT-5-nano to evaluate and rank both responses
- Beginner-Focused: Optimized for educational content with clear, beginner-friendly explanations
Evaluation Criteria
The comparison evaluates responses on:
- Beginner Friendliness - How easy is it for a beginner to understand?
- Tackles Main Point - How well does it address the core concept?
- Clear Examples - How effective are the examples and explanations?
