From model training to maintenance, an engineer will find everything they need to work with LLMs in this one-stop guide. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book complements \u003cb\u003eSebastian Raschka\u003c\/b\u003e's \u003ci\u003eBuild a Large Language Model (From Scratch)\u003c\/i\u003e, which takes a hands-on, ground-up approach to constructing LLMs. While Raschka's book focuses on building models from scratch, this book centers on deploying, optimizing, and maintaining reliable, production-grade AI systems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInside \u003ci\u003eBuilding Reliable AI Systems\u003c\/i\u003e you'll learn how to: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - Deploy LLMs into production\u003cbr\u003e - Detect and reduce hallucinations\u003cbr\u003e - Mitigate bias\u003cbr\u003e - Optimize LLM performance and resource usage\u003cbr\u003e - Advanced prompt engineering techniques\u003cbr\u003e - Build intelligent agents and Retrieval-Augmented Generation \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eBuilding Reliable AI Systems\u003c\/i\u003e is a guide to putting LLMs into production in the real world. The book bridges the gap between theory and practice. You'll go beyond basics like prompting into advanced optimizations: intelligent agents, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and in-depth solutions for mitigating hallucinations and bias. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eBuilding Reliable AI Systems\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive guide to creating LLM-based apps that are faster and more accurate. It takes you from training to production and beyond into the ongoing maintenance of an LLM. In each chapter, you'll find in-depth code samples and hands-on projects--including building a RAG-powered chatbot and an agent created with LangChain. Deploying an LLM can be costly, so you'll love the performance optimization techniques--prompt optimization, model compression, and quantization--that make your LLMs quicker and more efficient. Throughout, real-world case studies from e-commerce, healthcare, and legal work give concrete examples of how businesses have solved some of LLMs common problems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the reader\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For data scientists or software engineers confident in Python and NLP. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eRush Shahani\u003c\/b\u003e is a seasoned AI Engineer and CTO of Persana AI, a YCombinator-backed startup.
