VLLM vs. Kronk: Choosing the Best AI Engine for Your App
VLLM vs. Kronk: Choosing the Best AI Engine for Your App YouTube video by Ardan Labs

Are you picking the right AI engine or just the popular one?

In this clip,
@goinggo.net breaks down vLLM vs Kronk 👇
youtu.be/baSi1Vv37hY

The shift:
There’s no “best” engine, only the right fit.
→ vLLM = scale (thousands of users)
→ Kronk = speed (single-user apps)
→ Edge AI with Arduino + TinyGo

Stop Overusing SDKs (Do This Instead!) YouTube video by Ardan Labs

If you’ve ever built something solid… & then got blocked by someone else’s abstraction, @goinggo.net knows the feeling.

Watch the Short 👇

⚠️Because handing off too much control? That’s how you end up debugging someone else’s problems.

LiteLLM Security Incident: AI Supply Chain & LLM Gateway Risk LiteLLM security incident shows how LLM gateways and AI orchestration expand supply-chain risk. Practical controls for Go teams building production AI.

The LiteLLM incident wasn’t a model problem. It was a supply chain problem.

AI systems are not single services anymore. They’re stacks of dependencies, & every layer assumes trust by default.

That’s the real vulnerability.

Security in Go LLM-based applications Secure Go-LLM apps: Learn to block prompt injection, secure tool calls via least-privilege, and stop RAG data poisoning with robust patterns

Your Go + LLM app is already an attack surface.

The breach won’t come from your infra.
It’ll come from how the models are used.

You didn’t ship a vulnerability…
your dependencies did. 😮

Today’s stacks are built on layers of APIs, SDKs, and orchestration tools you don’t fully control. When something breaks upstream it doesn’t stay there, it reaches production.

AI security is no longer local. It’s a supply chain problem.

The question isn’t: “Can we add AI?”
It’s: How much infrastructure do we need to support it?

More layers ≠ Better systems

Less infrastructure. More control.

It always starts simple.
One prompt.
One model.
Everything works..

Then comes the “just one more thing” phase, model servers, vector DBs, orchestration ...

Before long, you’re managing infrastructure, not improving AI.

Are we overbuilding by default? www.kronkai.com

Optimizing Local AI: Kronk + Metrics for Gauging Performance
Optimizing Local AI: Kronk + Metrics for Gauging Performance YouTube video by Ardan Labs

Stop obsessing over Tokens Per Second (TPS) for your local AI models!❌

TPS is often a false metric; a high TPS might just mean your model is "spinning its wheels faster" if your tooling is inefficient.

In this clip, @goinggo.net explains what actually matters.

Staff Augmentation vs Outsourcing vs Hiring: Choose the Right Engineering Model Compare staff augmentation, outsourcing, and hiring for engineering teams: speed, control, tradeoffs, a practical decision framework, and when each model wins.

Most teams don’t fail from lack of talent. They fail from choosing the wrong model.

Staff Aug ≠ Outsourcing ≠ Hiring
Each solves a different problem.

Use the wrong one → friction, delays, misalignment

If you're deciding, it’s worth getting it right.

Scaling does not fail in execution. It fails in the decision

Hiring. Outsourcing. Staff augmentation
All work, just not in the same conditions

That is where teams get stuck

How Ardan Labs Integrates Senior Engineers through Staff Augmentation Ardan Labs treats staff augmentation as an engineering problem: structured pre-onboarding, active integration, and continuous advocacy so senior engineers contribute faster and deliver consistently.

Most staff augmentation fails because it stops at placement.
That’s the mistake

At Ardan Labs, we don’t just place engineers.
We prepare them, integrate them, & support them throughout the engagement. That’s how you get consistent outcomes
