The way we develop AI has completely changed. I mean, who builds models from scratch these days? Nobody.Today's developers are creating apps based on existing models, and this second edition teaches you how to do that in Python. We start with one API call and end up with a full production service that's all set to go. As you go through the chapters, you build one application that grows with you, so you never throw anything out. With retrieval, you can suppl...

This book aspires young graduates and programmers to become AI engineers and enter the world of artificial intelligence by combining powerful Python programming with artificial intelligence. Beginning with the fundamentals of Python programming, the book gradually progresses to machine learning, where readers learn to implement Python in developing predictive models.The book provides a clear and accessible explanation of machine learning, incorporating practical examples and exerci...

This fully revised edition teaches you to scale Python across cores, machines, and GPUs using the libraries you already know. I'll teach you to build Dask arrays, dataframes, bags and delayed graphs, and to tune partitions and chunks so the cluster actually earns its keep. I'll also show you to use the Dask expression system to let the optimiser push filters down and prune columns before a byte moves.As you'll see, you'll b...
