Overview of this book

Artificial intelligence has undergone rapid advancements, and Large Language Models (LLMs) are at the forefront of this revolution. This LLM book offers insights into designing, training, and deploying LLMs in real-world scenarios by leveraging MLOps best practices. The guide walks you through building an LLM-powered twin that’s cost-effective, scalable, and modular. It moves beyond isolated Jupyter notebooks, focusing on how to build production-grade end-to-end LLM systems. Throughout this book, you will learn data engineering, supervised fine-tuning, and deployment. The hands-on approach to building the LLM Twin use case will help you implement MLOps components in your own projects. You will also explore cutting-edge advancements in the field, including inference optimization, preference alignment, and real-time data processing, making this a vital resource for those looking to apply LLMs in their projects. By the end of this book, you will be proficient in deploying LLMs that solve practical problems while maintaining low-latency and high-availability inference capabilities. Whether you are new to artificial intelligence or an experienced practitioner, this book delivers guidance and practical techniques that will deepen your understanding of LLMs and sharpen your ability to implement them effectively.

Preparing for AWS

This last part of the chapter will focus on setting up an AWS account (if you don’t already have one), an AWS access key, and the CLI. Also, we will look into what SageMaker is and why we use it.

We picked AWS as our cloud provider because it’s the most popular out there and the cloud in which we (the writers) have the most experience. The reality is that other big cloud providers, such as GCP or Azure, offer similar services. Thus, depending on your specific application, there is always a trade-off between development time (in which you have the most experience), features, and costs. But for our MVP, AWS, it’s the perfect option as it provides robust features for everything we need, such as S3 (object storage), ECR (container registry), and SageMaker (compute for training and inference).

Setting up an AWS account, an access key, and the CLI

As AWS could change its UI/UX, the best way to instruct you on how to create an AWS account...
