Generative AI and LLMs
Why this subject matters: Generative AI and LLMs are the fastest-growing hiring category in tech right now — roles explicitly built around fine-tuning, prompting, and deploying large language models barely existed three years ago and are now common at both big companies and startups.
Introduction to Large Language Models
A structured, up-to-date introduction to how LLMs actually work — architecture, training, and fine-tuning — written for readers who want real technical grounding rather than a surface-level overview.
Generative Deep Learning
Covers the broader generative modeling landscape — GANs, VAEs, diffusion models, and transformers — in one coherent book.
Designing Machine Learning Systems
Less about the models and more about shipping them reliably — increasingly the actual job once you're past the interview.
Hands-On Large Language Models
Written by the creator of the famous "Illustrated Transformer" — visual, clear explanations of how LLMs actually work internally.
