The Practical, Step-by-Step Guide to Using LLMs at Scale in Projects and Products.

Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are demonstrating breathtaking capabilities, but their size and complexity have deterred many practitioners from applying them. InQuick Start Guide to Large Language Models, pioneering data scientist and AI entrepreneur Sinan Ozdemir clears away those obstacles and provides a guide to working with, integrating, and deploying LLMs to solve practical problems.

Ozdemir brings together all you need to get started, even if you have no direct experience with LLMs: step-by-step instructions, best practices, real-world case studies, hands-on exercises, and more. Along the way, he shares insights into LLMs' inner workings to help you optimize model choice, data formats, parameters, and performance. You'll find even more resources on the companion website, including sample datasets and code for working with open- and closed-source LLMs such as those from OpenAI (GPT-4 and ChatGPT), Google (BERT, T5, and Bard), EleutherAI (GPT-J and GPT-Neo), Cohere (the Command family), and Meta (BART and the LLaMA family).

A great part of this book is the coverage of using both visual interfaces—such as ChatGPT—and programmatic interfaces. Sinan includes helpful Python code that is approachable and clearly illustrates what is being done. His coverage of prompt engineering illuminates how to get dramatically better results from LLMs and, better yet, he demonstrates how to provide those prompts both in the visual GUI and through the Python Open AI library.

Learn key concepts: pre-training, transfer learning, fine-tuning, attention, embeddings, tokenization, and more
Use APIs and Python to fine-tune and customize LLMs for your requirements
Build a complete neural/semantic information retrieval system and attach to conversational LLMs for retrieval-augmented generation
Master advanced prompt engineering techniques like output structuring, chain-ofthought, and semantic few-shot prompting
Customize LLM embeddings to build a complete recommendation engine from scratch with user data
Construct and fine-tune multimodal Transformer architectures using opensource LLMs
Align LLMs using Reinforcement Learning from Human and AI Feedback (RLHF/RLAIF)
Deploy prompts and custom fine-tuned LLMs to the cloud with scalability and evaluation pipelines in mind

Audience and Prerequisites:
Who is this book for, you ask? Well, my answer is simple: anyone who shares a curiosity about LLMs, the willing coder, the relentless learner. Whether you’re already entrenched in Machine Learning or you’re on the edge, dipping your toes into this vast ocean, this book is your guide, your map to navigate the waters of LLMs. However, I’ll level with you: To get the most out of this journey, having some experience with Machine Learning and Python will be incredibly beneficial.

"By balancing the potential of both open- and closed-source models, Quick Start Guide to Large Language Models stands as a comprehensive guide to understanding and using LLMs, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical application." - Giada Pistilli, Principal Ethicist at HuggingFace

"A refreshing and inspiring resource. Jam-packed with practical guidance and clear explanations that leave you smarter about this incredible new field." - Pete Huang, author of The Neuron
