In the past few years, progress in the field of artificial intelligence has been occurring at breakneck speeds, spearheaded by advances in LLMs. It was not too long ago that LLMs were a nascent technology that struggled to generate a coherent paragraph; today they are able to solve complex mathematical problems, write convincing essays, and conduct long engaging conversations with humans. As AI advances from strength to strength, it is rapidly being woven into the fabric of society, touching so many facets of our lives. Learning how to use AI models like LLMs effectively might be one of the most useful skills to learn this decade. LLMs are revolutionizing the world of software, and have made possible the development of applications previously considered impossible. With all the promise that LLMs bring, the reality is that they are still not a mature technology and have many limitations like deficiencies in reasoning, lack of adherence to factuality, “hallucinations”, difficulties in steering them toward our goals, bias and fairness issues, and so on. Despite the existence of these limitations, we can still harness LLMs for good use and build a variety of helpful applications provided we effectively address their shortcomings. Plenty of software frameworks have emerged that enable rapid prototype development of LLM applications. However, advancing from prototypes to production-grade applications is a road much less traveled, and is still a very challenging task. This is where this book comes in—a holistic overview of the LLM landscape that provides you with the intuition and tools to build complex LLM applications. With this book, my goal is to provide you with an intuitive understanding of how LLMs work, the tools you have at your disposal to harness them, and the various application paradigms they can be built with. Unique to this book are the exercises; more than 80 exercises are sprinkled throughout to help you solidify your intuitions and sharpen your understanding of what is happening underneath the hood. While preparing the content of the book, I read over 800 research papers, with many of them referenced and linked at appropriate locations in the book, providing you with a jumping off point for further exploration. All in all, I am confident that you will come out of the book an LLM expert if you read the book in its entirety, complete all the exercises, and explore the recommended references.
