  2. vLLM & SGLang: From First Request to Production

    vLLM and SGLang, side by side. Learn how LLM serving works, measure both engines fairly, tune them with evidence, and take a model from an empty GPU to a deployment with a cost per million tokens you can defend.

  3. The New Rules of Building Reliable AI Agents
    The New Rules of Building Reliable AI Agents
    Architectures, Engineering Principles and Production-Grade Implementation
    Steve Publications

    Building AI agents is one thing. Making them reliable in production is another. This book explores why agents fail and how to design systems that hold up under real-world conditions. From architecture and engineering patterns to evaluation and operations, it gives technical leaders the tools to build agents they can trust.

  4. The Agents.md Cookbook
    The Agents.md Cookbook
    Rules Files for AI Coding Agents
    Kristian Reformis

    Your AI coding agent starts every session knowing nothing about your project, so it guesses - and the guess is sometimes expensive. The AGENTS.md Cookbook shows you how to write short, specific rules files, how to test them with a simple before-and-after method, and includes twelve ready-to-adapt recipes for real project types, labeled honestly about what has and has not been tested.

  5. Building Autonomous Coding Agents
    Building Autonomous Coding Agents
    Design, Safety, and Local-First Operation of Unattended AI Development Systems
    Yohan J. Rodríguez

    Build agents that write code, fix tests, and commit changes while you sleep — safely, cheaply, and entirely on your own hardware (622 manuscript pages).

  6. Practical Prompting Guide for Meta Muse
    Practical Prompting Guide for Meta Muse
    The Complete Operating Manual for AI Agents, Prompts, Workflows, Connectors, Automation and Efficient Human–AI Collaboration
    Steve Publications

    Meta Muse changes the way you work with AI. This practical guide shows you how to write better prompts, build reliable workflows, automate everyday tasks and avoid common mistakes. Whether you're new to agentic AI or already putting it to work, you'll learn how to get more done with less friction and more confidence.

  7. Accountable Knowledge Architecture for Enterprise AI
    Accountable Knowledge Architecture for Enterprise AI
    Designing Distributed Knowledge Systems for Humans, Models, and Autonomous Agents
    Mansura Habiba, Nafiul Khan, and Rafflesia Khan

    Enterprise AI becomes dangerous when generated claims, retrieved evidence, human decisions, and autonomous actions are treated as equally trustworthy data. Accountable Knowledge Architecture for Enterprise AI presents an edge-native architecture for building distributed knowledge systems where every claim can be traced to its evidence, authority, decisions, and outcomes giving humans, models, and autonomous agents knowledge they can use without sacrificing accountability.
