LLM Engineer's Handbook: Master the art of engineering large language models from concept to production

Description

Step into the world of LLMs with this practical guide that takes you from the fundamentals to deploying advanced applications using LLMOps best practices Get With Your Book: PDF Copy, AI Assistant, and Next-Gen Reader Free Key Features Build and refine LLMs step by step, covering data preparation, RAG, and fine-tuning Learn essential skills for deploying and monitoring LLMs, ensuring optimal performance in production Utilize preference alignment, evaluation, and inference optimization to enhance performance and adaptability of your LLM applications Book Description Artificial intelligence has undergone rapid advancements, and Large Language Models (LLMs) are at the forefront of this revolution. This LLM book offers insights into designing, training, and deploying LLMs in real-world scenarios by leveraging MLOps best practices. The guide walks you through building an LLM-powered twin that’s cost-effective, scalable, and modular. It moves beyond isolated Jupyter notebooks, focusing on how to build production-grade end-to-end LLM systems. Throughout this book, you will learn data engineering, supervised fine-tuning, and deployment. The hands-on approach to building the LLM Twin use case will help you implement MLOps components in your own projects. You will also explore cutting-edge advancements in the field, including inference optimization, preference alignment, and real-time data processing, making this a vital resource for those looking to apply LLMs in their projects. By the end of this book, you will be proficient in deploying LLMs that solve practical problems while maintaining low-latency and high-availability inference capabilities. Whether you are new to artificial intelligence or an experienced practitioner, this book delivers guidance and practical techniques that will deepen your understanding of LLMs and sharpen your ability to implement them effectively. What you will learn Implement robust data pipelines and manage LLM training cycles Create your own LLM and refine it with the help of hands-on examples Get started with LLMOps by diving into core MLOps principles such as orchestrators and prompt monitoring Perform supervised fine-tuning and LLM evaluation Deploy end-to-end LLM solutions using AWS and other tools Design scalable and modularLLM systems Learn about RAG applications by building a feature and inference pipeline Who this book is for This book is for AI engineers, NLP professionals, and LLM engineers looking to deepen their understanding of LLMs. Basic knowledge of LLMs and the Gen AI landscape, Python and AWS is recommended. Whether you are new to AI or looking to enhance your skills, this book provides comprehensive guidance on implementing LLMs in real-world scenarios Table of Contents Understanding the LLM Twin Concept and Architecture Tooling and Installation Data Engineering RAG Feature Pipeline Supervised Fine-Tuning Fine-Tuning with Preference Alignment Evaluating LLMs Inference Optimization RAG Inference Pipeline Inference Pipeline Deployment MLOps and LLMOps Review: Junior software engineer to AI engineer - International transport with desertcart is good, my order has damage a little bit (95%+ is good). I buy 3 best seller books for AI Engineer, these are good to open mind to people who don’t have background in AI engineer. They explain from basic to give better understanding to grapes information how AI systems production. Review: Great buy - I brought this for my niece and she loves it. It’s a great product to bring creativity in kids life. It’s easy to set up and use. My nice put it right at her desk and draw whatever she inspires to drawn on it for the day. It’s a great product, I definitely recommend it.
