Learning LLM：Understanding the Foundations of Generative AI
An approachable, practical guide to how large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Claude actually work.
You’ve used ChatGPT. You’ve heard about “transformers.” But how do large language models really think, generate, and learn—and how can you start working with them?
This beginner-friendly book explains how LLMs are trained, how they generate human-like language, and how they’re already transforming industries—from software development to customer support.
Whether you're an engineer, product manager, student, or curious professional, this book will give you the foundational knowledge you need to understand and confidently use modern AI tools.
What You’ll Learn:
- How LLMs like GPT and BERT are built and trained
- What transformers and attention mechanisms actually do—without the math overload
- How LLMs generate text, answer questions, translate, summarize, and write code
- How to get started using OpenAI, Hugging Face, Google Cloud, and Azure APIs
- What risks to watch for (like hallucination or bias) when building AI-powered apps
- Engineers starting with LLMs and AI-backed products
- Technical leaders who want to speak fluently about AI strategy
- Students exploring machine learning or NLP careers
- Curious readers who want to go beyond using AI—and start understanding it
