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.

Creating an instruction dataset

In most use cases, creating an instruction dataset is the most difficult part of the fine-tuning process. This is due to multiple factors. Most use cases can be connected to raw text, but it is rare to find natural pairs of instructions and answers. This raw text needs to be transformed into a format that includes both instructions and answers. Moreover, the quality of the data is also crucial. Because of this, a lot of time is invested in manually checking and verifying individual samples. This careful review helps ensure that the dataset is accurate and useful for training the model.

In this section, we will introduce a general framework to create your own instruction datasets, regardless of the final use case. We will then leverage the scraped data from Chapter 3 and transform it into an instruction dataset. The different stages in our data generation...
