“We are no longer asking how to build models; we’re asking how to build products that use models.” — Chip Huyen, AI Engineering: Building Applications with Foundation Models
The book AI Engineering is Chip Huyen’s deep dive into how to build real-world AI applications using foundation models — the blockbusters like GPT-4, Claude, etc. It’s not just hype; it explains what actually works, what pitfalls to avoid, and how you, as a software engineer, can step into the role of “AI Engineer” with confidence.
