AI Engineering: Building Applications with Foundation Models

AI Engineering

Recent advancements in AI have boosted the need for AI products and made it easier for people to create their own AI solutions. The model-as-a-service approach has changed AI from a complex and rare field into a strong tool that everyone can use for development.

Everyone, whether they have little or no experience with AI before, can now use AI models to create their own applications. In this book, author Chip Huyen talks about AI engineering, which is the process of creating applications using existing foundation models. The book begins with an introduction to AI engineering, explaining how it is different from regular machine learning engineering and covering the new structure of tools and technologies used in AI.

The more we use AI, the higher the risk of serious problems happening, which means checking and assessing AI is more important than ever. This book covers various ways to assess open-ended models, such as the quickly increasing method where AI acts as a judge.

Developers who create AI applications will learn how to understand the AI world, including models, data sets, evaluation standards, and the many different ways AI can be used in real situations. You will learn a step-by-step method for building an AI application, beginning with basic techniques and moving to more advanced ones, and you will find out how to easily put these applications into use.
