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.

Implementing the LLM Twin’s RAG feature pipeline

The last step is to review the LLM Twin’s RAG feature pipeline code to see how we applied everything we discussed in this chapter. We will walk you through the following:

  • ZenML code
  • Pydantic domain objects
  • A custom object-vector mapping (OVM) implementation
  • The cleaning, chunking, and embedding logic for all our data categories

We will take a top-down approach. Thus, let’s start with the Settings class and ZenML pipeline.

Settings

We use Pydantic Settings (https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/concepts/pydantic_settings/) to define a global Settings class that loads sensitive or non-sensitive variables from a .env file. This approach also gives us all the benefits of Pydantic, such as type validation. For example, if we provide a string for the QDRANT_DATABASE_PORT variable instead of an integer, the program will crash. This behavior makes the whole application more deterministic...
