AI Engineering (Full Colour Edition)

This book is about AI engineering, the work of building applications with foundation models that are already available. The author explains how it differs from traditional ML engineering and introduces the new AI stack. Because wider use brings more chances of serious failure, the book gives special weight to evaluation, including ways to judge open-ended models. It also presents a framework for building an AI application and for deploying it efficiently.

Why You Should Read?

• Understand how AI engineering differs from traditional ML engineering and what the new AI stack contains.
• Learn several approaches to evaluating open-ended models, including the fast-growing AI-as-a-judge method.
• Explore the AI landscape of models, datasets, evaluation benchmarks and the many use cases and application patterns.
• Follow a framework that moves from simple techniques to more sophisticated methods and shows how to deploy applications efficiently.
