📚 AI Engineering: Building Applications with Foundation Models | a Review of Chip Huyen’s book 🚀 Ever wondered how apps powered by large language models (LLMs) are built? Or what exactly AI engineering involves? 🤔 This video is your essential guide, based on Chip Huyen’s outstanding book, AI Engineering, a must-have resource for anyone involved in creating AI-enabled applications. Whether you’re a product manager 🗂️, systems architect 🛠️, or software engineer 💻 transitioning into AI-driven app development, Chip Huyen’s clear and practical insights will sharpen your understanding of modern AI systems architecture, API integration, evaluation methodologies, and more. 🔑 In this video, you’ll discover: What "AI engineering" really means and how it differs from traditional machine learning (ML) and software engineering. The essential role of foundation models (like GPT-4o) and APIs in modern apps 🧩. Why evaluation methodology 📈—not model training—is often the biggest challenge in AI product development. How to master evaluation-driven development and build effective evaluation pipelines. The nuances of prompt engineering and emerging trends like "context engineering" (with insights from Andrej Karpathy’s recent tweets 🐦). An introduction to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) 🔍, agents 🤖, and practical advice on when to use fine-tuning versus RAG. Essential concepts of dataset engineering and how to prepare data for your specific AI use cases 📂. 🔖 Chapters Covered: Chapter 2: Understanding Foundation Models Chapter 3 & 4: Evaluation Methodology & Evaluation-Driven Development Chapter 5: Prompt Engineering (and Context Engineering!) Chapter 6: RAG & Agents Chapter 7: Fine-tuning Chapter 8: Dataset Engineering 📌 Who should watch this?
