Goes beyond academic discussions deeply into the applications layer of Foundation Models. This practical book offers clear, example-rich explanations of how LLMs work, how you can interact with them, and how to integrate LLMs into your own applications. Find out what makes LLMs so different from traditional software and ML, discover best practices for working with them out of the lab, and dodge common pitfalls with experienced advice. In LLMs in Production you will: • Grasp the fundamentals of LLMs and the technology behind them • Evaluate when to use a premade LLM and when to build your own • Efficiently scale up an ML platform to handle the needs of LLMs • Train LLM foundation models and finetune an existing LLM • Deploy LLMs to the cloud and edge devices using complex architectures like PEFT and LoRA • Build applications leveraging the strengths of LLMs while mitigating their weaknesses LLMs in Production delivers vital insights into delivering MLOps so you can easily and seamlessly guide one to production usage. Inside, you'll find practical insights into everything from acquiring an LLM-suitable training dataset, building a platform, and compensating for their immense size. Plus, tips and tricks for prompt engineering, retraining and load testing, handling costs, and ensuring security. Foreword by Joe Reis. About the technology Most business software is developed and improved iteratively, and can change significantly even after deployment. By contrast, because LLMs are expensive to create and difficult to modify, they require meticulous upfront planning, exacting data standards, and carefully-executed technical implementation. Integrating LLMs into production products impacts every aspect of your operations plan, including the application lifecycle, data pipeline, compute cost, security, and more. Get it wrong, and you may have a costly failure on your hands. About the book LLMs in Production teaches you how to develop an LLMOps plan that can take an AI app smoothly from design to delivery. You'll learn techniques for preparing an LLM dataset, cost-efficient training hacks like LORA and RLHF, and industry benchmarks for model evaluation. Along the way, you'll put your new skills to use in three exciting example projects: creating and training a custom LLM, building a VSCode AI coding extension, and deploying a small model to a Raspberry Pi. What's inside • Balancing cost and performance • Retraining and load testing • Optimizing models for commodity hardware • Deploying on a Kubernetes cluster About the reader For data scientists and ML engineers who know Python and the basics of cloud deployment. About the author Christopher Brousseau and Matt Sharp are experienced engineers who have led numerous successful large scale LLM deployments.
