You'll learn how to install and configure the Ollama framework to run models like LLaMA 3.1 on your own workstation, ensuring privacy, low latency, and no API costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough step-by-step examples, you'll build your first Python LLM applications, master prompting techniques, and explore LangChain - a powerful framework for chaining prompts, tools, and memory. Practical use cases include text summarization, generation, QA systems, and structured data extraction. The book also introduces Agentic Technology, allowing your LLM applications to reason dynamically and use external tools autonomously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll build user-friendly chat interfaces with Gradio, mimicking popular conversational AIs like ChatGPT, and dive into Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems that enrich LLMs with domain-specific knowledge, such as querying documents like a Medicare Guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, the book discusses the major challenges facing LLMs - bias, hallucination, environmental impact - and explores future trends such as multimodal AI, model optimization, and autonomous AI agents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're a developer, researcher, or enthusiast, this guide equips you with the skills and tools to build intelligent, efficient, and domain-adaptive LLM applications - all locally and hands-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Topics Covered: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow LLMs work (Transformer models, Encoders, Decoders)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetting up the Ollama framework for local LLM execution\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding LLM applications with Python\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrafting effective prompts for optimal model behavior\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeveloping advanced LLM apps with LangChain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntegrating agents for autonomous reasoning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreating conversational UIs using Gradio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eImplementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFuture challenges and trends in LLM evolution\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want to \u003cb\u003ebuild and deploy your own LLM-powered systems\u003c\/b\u003e - without relying on expensive cloud services - this book is your practical, hands-on guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Prabir Guha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798281748278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.32d","brand":"Prabir Guha","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46974702649599,"sku":"9798281748278","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a8c60e8-e0c2-4964-b8d5-333efa1c4a7e.jpg?v=1750875810","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/build-llm-applications-with-python-prabir-guha-9798281748278","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
