Pull a model onto a machine you own, shape it with a Modelfile, fine-tune your own adapter, and build a chat app that calls tools and talks to an MCP server, all running on your own hardware. By the end, you'll know exactly where owning your AI beats renting it, and where it doesn't.
A hands-on guide to downloading, running, serving, and maintaining open-weight LLMs on your own machine (489 manuscript pages).
Serious AI research no longer needs a data center. This is the field log of training, fine-tuning, serving, and shipping real models on a single petascale desktop, with the code to reproduce every result. For engineers building AI on NVIDIA hardware who want depth, not hype.
MCP is the protocol powering the next generation of AI agents, and this is the only book that teaches you all of it. From Python fundamentals to low-level SSE transport, go from zero to production-ready MCP developer.
CPython 3.15 runs without the GIL, ships an experimental JIT, and rewrites the C API for a free-threaded world. No hand-waving. No stale docs. Just the interpreter, laid open.
An introduction to actor-critic algorithms as dynamical systems: featuring hand-computable examples, fast-slow reductions, and machine-checked Lean 4 proofs
