Generative AI with Python and PyTorch: Navigating the AI frontier with LLMs, Stable Diffusion, and next-gen AI applications

Master GenAI techniques to create images and text using variational autoencoders (VAEs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), LSTMs, and large language models (LLMs)

Key FeaturesImplement real-world applications of LLMs and generative AIFine-tune models with PEFT and LoRA to speed up trainingExpand your LLM toolbox with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques, LangChain, and LlamaIndexPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free eBook in PDF formatBook Description

Become an expert in Generative AI through immersive, hands-on projects that leverage today’s most powerful models for Natural Language Processing (NLP) and computer vision. Generative AI with Python and PyTorch is your end-to-end guide to creating advanced AI applications, made easy by Raghav Bali, a seasoned data scientist with multiple patents in AI, and Joseph Babcock, a PhD and machine learning expert. Through business-tested approaches, this book simplifies complex GenAI concepts, making learning both accessible and immediately applicable.

From NLP to image generation, this second edition explores practical applications and the underlying theories that power these technologies. By integrating the latest advancements in LLMs, it prepares you to design and implement powerful AI systems that transform data into actionable intelligence.

You’ll build your versatile LLM toolkit by gaining expertise in GPT-4, LangChain, RLHF, LoRA, RAG, and more. You’ll also explore deep learning techniques for image generation and apply styler transfer using GANs, before advancing to implement CLIP and diffusion models.

Whether you’re generating dynamic content or developing complex AI-driven solutions, this book equips you with everything you need to harness the full transformative power of Python and AI.
