.NET Aspire 9.1 was just released on February 25th, 2025. It comes with great new dashboard features, and there is more! One feature I am particularly interested in is the ability to use Dev Containers.
In this post, I will show you how to use the new .NET Aspire 9.1 with a Dev Container and JetBrains Rider. You could also use Visual Studio Code.
In my previous post, we saw how to build the simplest Semantic Kernel local AI agent using Semantic Kernel and Ollama in C#. In this short post, we will see how simple it is to extend the capabilities of the Semantic Kernel local AI agent by adding function calling.
The recent release of Microsoft's Semantic Kernel Agents Framework RC1 provides an excellent opportunity to explore its capabilities with C#. In this post, we'll walk through creating a simple agent using this framework and running it locally with Ollama.
Let's dive in!
In my earlier posts, I've demonstrated how to install Ollama using the Windows installer. However, for developers, there's a more streamlined method to set up Ollama on your machine.
In this blog post, we'll explore how to run DeepSeek-R1 by harnessing the capabilities of .NET Aspire alongside Ollama on your local environment.
