Key benefits

  • Learn how to leverage LangChain to work around LLMs’ inherent weaknesses
  • Delve into LLMs with LangChain and explore their fundamentals, ethical dimensions, and application challenges
  • Get better at using ChatGPT and GPT models, from heuristics and training to scalable deployment, empowering you to transform ideas into reality

Description

ChatGPT and the GPT models by OpenAI have brought about a revolution not only in how we write and research but also in how we can process information. This book discusses the functioning, capabilities, and limitations of LLMs underlying chat systems, including ChatGPT and Gemini. It demonstrates, in a series of practical examples, how to use the LangChain framework to build production-ready and responsive LLM applications for tasks ranging from customer support to software development assistance and data analysis – illustrating the expansive utility of LLMs in real-world applications. Unlock the full potential of LLMs within your projects as you navigate through guidance on fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and best practices for deployment and monitoring in production environments. Whether you're building creative writing tools, developing sophisticated chatbots, or crafting cutting-edge software development aids, this book will be your roadmap to mastering the transformative power of generative AI with confidence and creativity.

Who is this book for?

The book is for developers, researchers, and anyone interested in learning more about LangChain. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, this book will serve as a valuable resource if you want to get the most out of LLMs using LangChain. Basic knowledge of Python is a prerequisite, while prior exposure to machine learning will help you follow along more easily.

What you will learn

  • Create LLM apps with LangChain, like question-answering systems and chatbots
  • Understand transformer models and attention mechanisms

Simply the best book I've read on LLMs in general and the LangChain eco-system. Very in-depth and clearly explained with excellent code examples.

I played around with Langchain before I read this book, trying to piece together various agents to create a custom chatbot, but the results were not quite what expected. But that is what happens sometimes when you are depending on short online blog posts and articles. This book filled in the gaps and helped me understand where I messed up in my first try.But it is more than just a "How to use Langchain" book. It explains what LLMs and GPTs are, how they work, how they are trained, and how they are conditioned, so when you get to the Langchain part of the book, you have a bigger arsenal of tools to chain together to do your bidding correctly instead of poking at random things with a stick.Essentially, Langchain is a tool to create a generative AI pipeline that can connect to various AI models, load documents, and store those documents for use by the models so tailor them to your use case and the last 80% of the book covers how to do this. So if you ever wanted to create your own AI agents and chatbots that can use the features of existing models like GPT-4 but customized for your own use, this is this book for you.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.
