Probably full of useful, legitimate, and honest best practices to form the base for a LLM engineer reference. However, almost from the outset it is an overt commercial endeavor to sell pieces of the puzzle described in this book. But it doesn't end there. Nonetheless, although its' open source foundation, it is well written, it is illustrated to include copious code snippets, and it is from very credible sources.

I Learned how devops is implemented through LLM’s and essentially how to construct more modular code to bring LLM’s and ML models into production environments. I plan on integrating it fully on the cloud as proof of my learning!

this handbook is a great LLM starter guide

This book shows you exactly how to build and deploy LLM systems that work. Clear code, real AWS examples, and proper production setup steps. A must-buy for AI engineers who build actual products.

As an IT pro who's background is in Front End Reporting this LLM this book is beneficial. It has helped to get an understanding on what it is and how to use it. It can take a novice to the next level by applying best practices and detailed explanations. You can follow along in each chapter that gives you a stage by stage instructions that are easy to comprehend. It has example code files for you to download and utilize while following along with the book. I would definitely recommend this book to colleagues wanting to learn more about LLM. It might be challenging if you don't have any software development skills but it is worth the challenge.

Great work, focusing not just on an LLM application development but also on the MLOps and CI/CD/CT of a service.

I've been working in software engineering for over 10 years and would like to know more about LLMs. This was a great resource to help me understanding LLMs from the ground up. I highly recommend this book to those who are in the same boat as me.

Loved everything about this book!!! Amazing!!

The book is ok (not bad), however the Packt service is horrible - they mention in the book that you get free pdf download - and it has been constant back and forth and I have not received the download link. I personally will stay away from Packt books - I believe Manning and O'Reilly usually have much better books and better service.

Je recommande ce livre. Ce livre vous accompagne et vous guide de bout en bout dans votre projet LLMOPS

This book lacks depth and clarity, offering simplistic examples with little real-world value. Over-reliance on vendor services, AWS-centric content, and questionable originality—possibly lifted from online sources—make it feel rushed and unprofessional. Unique phrases and sections of text can be searched online to verify their origins. Not suitable for those seeking a deeper understanding of LLM building and deployment.

If you want to learn about Large Language Models (LLMs), LLM Engineer's Handbook by Paul Iusztin and Maxime Labonne offers a practical, step-by-step guide. It’s great for beginners, with clear explanations and downloadable code examples to help you follow along. The book also covers AWS in detail, which is useful for anyone working with cloud technologies. It might be a bit challenging if you don’t have a software development background, but if you’re willing to put in the effort, it’s a solid resource to deepen your LLM knowledge.

Good book.
