From the book's Preface:
This book provides a framework for adapting foundation models, which include both large language models (LLMs) and large multimodal models (LMMs), to specific applications.
There are many different ways to build an application. This book outlines various solutions and also raises questions you can ask to evaluate the best solution for your needs.
I picked up this book after reading its preface (through the free sample on Amazon). I’m excited to work through it over the next few weeks.
Although we can learn a lot of the stuff from the book by digging through free resources online, I find the way a book is organized super helpful. It pulls everything together, letting me explore the topics both broadly and deeply without getting lost.
