Description
Recent advances in AI have both fueled demand for intelligent products and dramatically lowered the barrier to building them. With the rise of model-as-a-service platforms, AI has evolved from a specialized field into an accessible development tool that almost anyone can use—even without prior AI experience. In this book, Chip Huyen introduces AI engineering, the practice of building applications using readily available foundation models.
The book begins with a clear overview of AI engineering, highlighting how it differs from traditional machine learning engineering and outlining the modern AI stack. As AI systems become more widely deployed, the risk of large-scale and unexpected failures increases, making evaluation a critical concern. To address this, the book explores practical methods for evaluating open-ended models, including the rapidly emerging AI-as-a-judge approach.
