We're Writing a Book! "Hands-On Large Language Models"
With lots of visuals explaining language understanding and generation with LLMs
I'm super excited to co-write "Hands-On Large Language Models" with Maarten Grootendorst and published by O'Reilly Media!
We aim to distill the main intuitions for using language models for text understanding and generation with LOTs of visuals.
We’ll be posting updates about the writing process on social media and on this newsletter.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions for what you’d like us to cover! Our outline covers practical use cases that developers need (classification, semantic search, topic modeling, text generation, and prompt engineering). That will be followed by several chapters explaining the underlying models and training methods themselves.
