Large language models

Software development is changing fast, and Claude Code is at the center of that shift. Learn how to work effectively with AI agents to write code, automate workflows, and build larger projects with confidence. From setup and prompt design to real-world engineering practices, this book provides a practical guide to modern software development in 2026.

A hands-on guide to downloading, running, serving, and maintaining open-weight LLMs on your own machine (492 manuscript pages).

Your C# skills are worth more today than they were a year ago — if you know how to put a language model in the loop. This book shows you how, with the Microsoft Agent Framework: real tools, RAG, multi-agent orchestration, plus the hosting, observability, and safety that separate a demo from a system you ship. Nineteen chapters. 120 runnable projects. No Python detours. Just C# and .NET 10.

Learn how large language models work instead of relying on black-box APIs. Building Large Language Models from Scratch takes you through training a Transformer model in PyTorch, from raw text to a working inference API, covering tokenization, attention, distributed training, and alignment along the way.

AI agents don’t fail because they forget everything. They fail because they remember badly. This book shows you how to engineer memory that stays accurate, efficient and useful over time. From SQLite and PostgreSQL to vector indexes and multi-agent systems, you’ll learn what it takes to build agents that can run for days without losing the plot.

Learn how to build reliable AI agents with PydanticAI, from simple chatbots to production-ready multi-agent systems. With practical examples, clear explanations, and hands-on projects, this book helps you write AI applications that are structured, testable, and easy to maintain.

Learn to build production-ready LLM applications with DSPy through hands-on tutorials, complete runnable examples, and real-world projects. Master DSPy's core abstractions and create AI systems that improve with data instead of endless prompt tweaking.

Learn how to build, run, and optimize llama.cpp from the ground up. This book covers everything from compiling the code and working with GGUF models to deploying fast, production-ready local LLM inference.

A vendor-neutral, mechanism-level field guide to operating and extending agentic coding harnesses (542 manuscript pages).

Learn how to build a fast, private AI search engine that indexes and retrieves documents using modern open-source tools. From a simple prototype to a production-ready system, you will create intelligent local search that runs entirely on your own hardware.

Learn Claude Code by building real projects. This hands-on companion turns the Claude Code Masterclass workshop into a practical self-paced guide for planning, coding, testing, reviewing, refactoring, and shipping software with AI.

Build AI agents that reason when necessary, preserve what they learn, and stop paying the intelligence premium for work they already know how to perform. Smart AI Agents combines architecture, working implementations, public source code, and measured experiments to show how agents can learn once and execute many.

The hardest part of building AI is not the model. It is everything around it. The Art of Harness Engineering is a practical guide to turning AI prototypes into reliable products. It covers testing, guardrails, observability and governance, giving you the tools to build AI systems people can trust and organizations can run with confidence.
