    A clear, illustrated guide to large language models, covering key concepts and practical applications. Ideal for projects, interviews, or personal learning.

  2. The Hundred-Page Language Models Book
    The Hundred-Page Language Models Book
    hands-on with PyTorch
    Andriy Burkov

    Master language models through mathematics, illustrations, and code―and build your own from scratch!

  3. Run Jev-Like System One Models Locally
    Run Jev-Like System One Models Locally
    A Complete Guide to Ollaya and Local Decision Models
    Steve Publications

    Run Jev-style decision models on your own hardware with Ollaya. Learn how these fast, structured models differ from LLMs, then build real applications with typed outputs, Python, JavaScript and MCP. From first setup to production, this practical guide shows you how to make AI faster, cheaper and more private.

  4. Build Your Own Coding Agent
    Build Your Own Coding Agent
    The Zero-Magic Guide to AI Agents in Pure Python
    J. Owen

    Skip the black-box frameworks. Build a production-grade AI coding agent from scratch in pure Python - cloud or local, tested with pytest, all in a single file.

  5. How to Build and Fine-Tune a Small Language Model
    How to Build and Fine-Tune a Small Language Model
    A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners, Researchers, and Non-Programmers
    J. Paul Liu

    You don’t need massive compute or big-tech resources to build real AI. This hands-on guide shows you how to build and fine-tune your own small language model—from scratch—using accessible tools like Google Colab. Learn transformers step-by-step, train and align models on your own data, and deploy practical AI systems that run on consumer GPUs. If you’ve ever wondered “Can I build my own model?”—this book proves the answer is yes.

  6. The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book

    Everything you really need to know in Machine Learning in a hundred pages.

  7. Inside llama.cpp
    Inside llama.cpp
    The Complete Guide to Building, Running, and Optimizing Local LLM Inference
    Steve Publications

    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.

  8. The Agentic AI book
    The Agentic AI book
    From Language Models to Multi-Agent Systems
    Dr. Ryan Rad

    It's never been easier to build an AI agent — and never been harder to make one that actually works. This book takes you from language model foundations to production-ready multi-agent systems with the depth to predict failure before it happens, engineer graceful degradation over catastrophic failure, and take absolute architectural ownership. Get the paperback from amazon.

  9. Build an LLM Inference Engine in C++
    Build an LLM Inference Engine in C++
    A Challenge-Driven Guide to Building a CPU-First Inference Engine in C++20
    Hatem M.

    Build a complete LLM inference engine in C++ — from a blankproject to a working Transformer that loads a real model andgenerates text. Forged one challenge at a time, with teststhat prove every piece works before you move on.

  10. Systems Thinking for Agentic AI
    Systems Thinking for Agentic AI
    A Software Architect’s Guide to Building Reliable LLM and Agent Systems
    Ediz Najim

    An LLM is not an AI system.Systems Thinking for Agentic AI shows software engineers and architects how to design reliable AI applications with prompts, RAG, tools, memory, orchestration, guardrails, evaluation, observability, and runtime control.Move beyond chatbot demos and learn how to build production-ready agentic AI systems you can reason about, measure, debug, operate, and improve

  11. The Case for Connection
    The Case for Connection
    Why Connected Organizations Win: Twelve Practices for the AI Era
    Dave Clack

    Technology doesn't fail companies. Relationships do. Connection is the answer. Twelve Practices, Thirty Six experts. Must Haves for AI success. Backed by evidence not opinion. Results in multiples, not by margins.

  12. Smart AI Agents
    Smart AI Agents
    Don't Let Tokens Eat Up Your Budget
    Juan Cabrera

    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.

  13. Agentic Programming
    Agentic Programming
    From Prompts to Production: A Path to Al Fluency
    Jerod W. Wilkerson

    The most important impact of AI on software development isn't that it writes code faster — it's that it changes what you can delegate. Agentic Programming is a practical roadmap for climbing the AI Fluency Ladder: from prompting to agentic workflows, verified execution, and ultimately autonomous software development.

  15. Deep Learning with PyTorch Step-by-Step
    Deep Learning with PyTorch Step-by-Step
    A Beginner's Guide
    Daniel Voigt Godoy

    Revised for PyTorch 2.x! In 2019, I published a PyTorch tutorial on Towards Data Science and I was amazed by the reaction from the readers! Their feedback motivated me to write this book to help beginners start their journey into Deep Learning and PyTorch. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoy writing it.
