This repository contains code for the O’Reilly Live Online Training for Deploying GPT & LLMs

This course is designed to equip software engineers, data scientists, and machine learning professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to deploy AI models effectively in production environments. As AI continues to revolutionize industries, the ability to deploy, manage, and optimize AI applications at scale is becoming increasingly crucial. This course covers the full spectrum of deployment considerations, from leveraging cutting-edge tools like Kubernetes, llama.cpp, and GGUF, to mastering cost management, compute optimization, and model quantization.

Introduction to LLMs and Prompting

• Introduction to 3rd Party Providers – Using Together.ai, HuggingFace, and Groq to run LLMs

• Prompt Injection Examples – See how three kinds of prompt innjection attacks can attempt to jailbreak an LLM

Cleaning Data and Monitoring Drift

• Cleaning Data using Deep Learning – Using AUM and Cosine Similarity to clean data

• Combating AI drift – Using Online Learning to combat drift

Evaluating Agents

• Evaluating AI Agents: Task Automation and Tool Integration – A basic case study on tool selection accuracy
  • Positional Bias on Agent Response Evaluation – Identifying and evaluating positional bias on multiple LLMs

Advanced Deployment Techniques

• Speculative Decoding – Using an assistant model to aid token decoding

• Prompt Caching Llama 3 – Replicating prompt caching with HuggingFace tools
