LLMs in Production is the comprehensive guide to LLMs you’ll need to effectively guide one to production usage. It takes you through the entire lifecycle of an LLM, from initial concept, to creation and fine tuning, all the way to deployment. You’ll discover how to effectively prepare an LLM dataset, cost-efficient training techniques like LORA and RLHF, and how to evaluate your models against industry benchmarks. Learn to properly establish deployment infrastructure and address common challenges like retraining and load testing. Finally, you’ll go hands-on with three exciting example projects: a cloud-based LLM chatbot, a Code Completion VSCode Extension, and deploying LLM to edge devices like Raspberry Pi. By the time you’re done reading, you’ll be ready to start developing LLMs and effectively incorporating them into software.
