Build AI that keeps working when the cloud doesn't. Local-First AI Engineering shows you how to run capable, private AI systems on infrastructure you control. From hardware and inference to RAG, agents, security and production ops, you'll learn how to build local AI that is fast, reliable and truly yours.

Build AI systems that do more than demo well. This hands-on guide shows you how to engineer autonomous software on Linux that is secure, observable, reliable and ready for production. From agents and memory to threat modeling, OpenTelemetry and Kubernetes, you’ll build a real system while learning what it takes to run AI you can actually trust.

Move beyond AI demos and build agents that can actually run IT operations. This practical guide takes you from MCP fundamentals to production-ready monitoring, incident response, remediation, Kubernetes operations, security and multi-agent systems, with complete runnable code and a strong focus on safe autonomy.

The first thing many people hit with an AI coding assistant is a plateau. A correction made on Monday is gone by Thursday. This book is about the operating model above the prompt, where truth lives, how a correction becomes a standing rule that holds, and which judgments stay in human hands.

一本面向有一定 AI 基础的工程师、技术负责人与产品人的实战手册。它回答一个被大多数 AI 内容回避的问题：为什么大多数 AI 项目止步于 Demo，而少数能真正跑进生产？

Build real-world web applications faster with Claude Code by your side. This hands-on guide takes you from web development fundamentals to production-ready full-stack engineering with React, Next.js, TypeScript and PostgreSQL. Learn practical AI-assisted workflows while building, testing, securing and deploying applications that are ready for real users.

This book presents a modern, unified, and language-agnostic workflow for creating analytical pipelines that are truly reproducible, from environment to execution.

AI coding agents can move fast, but speed without clear intent creates expensive mistakes. This practical guide shows how Behavior-Driven Development turns specifications into a reliable contract between you and autonomous coding systems, helping agents build the right thing, catch problems earlier and produce software you can trust.

Turn a small language model into an AI agent that runs on your own hardware. This practical guide takes you from choosing a base model to fine-tuning, tool use, evaluation and deployment. With reproducible code and real configurations throughout, you'll learn how to build specialized local agents that are capable, efficient and truly yours.

Specification Engineering turns complex ideas into clear, workable specifications. This practical guide takes you from core principles to advanced methods for defining, validating, managing and evolving requirements across products, software, systems and services. Built for real-world use, it gives you the tools to create specifications that people can understand and act on.

They say AI is coming for junior developers first. This is a junior's honest case for the opposite: how driving agents well, on real legacy code, makes you level up faster instead of getting left behind. The failures are left in.

Domine a arquitetura de sistemas de IA autônomos. Um guia completo cobrindo motores de raciocínio, memória de longo prazo, orquestração multiagentes, otimização de custos e o Model Context Protocol (MCP). O livro definitivo para arquitetos e desenvolvedores.

面向智能体重度用户的实战可靠性手册：不教造智能体、不教提示词技巧、不做产品测评； 每天用智能体 2 小时以上、已配多个工具、需要一套可预算 / 可监控 / 可验收的运营方法的实践者；

ChatGPT can save you time, sharpen your ideas and change the way you work, but only if you know how to use it well. This practical guide takes you from your first prompt to advanced techniques, with real-world examples for writing, research, coding, business and creativity. Learn what works, what doesn’t and how to get better results every day.

Vectors, embeddings, retrieval, agents, and evaluation are all built from first principles inside the chapter that needs them. No mathematics. No machine learning background. No prior AI experience and no framework knowledge is required. We build with plain Python and small, single-purpose libraries.
