The Large Language Model Recipes book is a comprehensive, practical guide designed to help developers, data scientists, and AI engineers navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of Large Language Models (LLMs). Moving beyond theory, this book provides a hands-on, recipe-based approach to mastering the entire LLMs lifecycle, from selecting the right open-source model to fine-tuning it on custom data and deploying it for production at scale.
Starting with the fundamentals of setting up a robust development environment, the book guides you through the critical decisions of model selection (Llama, Mistral, Falcon) and data preparation. It offers deep dives into advanced training techniques, including full fine-tuning, instruction tuning, and parameter-efficient methods like LoRA and QLoRA that make training accessible on consumer hardware.
The book doesn't stop at training. It tackles the crucial "last mile" of AI development: deployment and optimization. You will learn how to shrink models with quantization, serve them with high-throughput engines like vLLM and TGI, and evaluate their performance using industry-standard benchmarks. Finally, it explores cutting-edge frontiers, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for grounding models in real-time data, building multimodal vision-language applications, and designing autonomous AI agents.
Whether you are building a specialized chatbot, a code assistant, or a complex reasoning agent, this book provides the tested recipes and code you need to develop efficient, scalable, and robust AI solutions today.
What you will learn:
- Design production-ready LLM systems using the Feature/Training/Inference (FTI) framework
- Apply advanced fine-tuning methods, including LoRA and QLoRA, for efficient model adaptation
- Build and optimize RAG pipelines with effective retrieval strategies and vector databases
- Deploy optimized LLMs using quantization techniques and scalable inference frameworks
- Develop multimodal and agentic AI applications with vision-language models and autonomous agents
Who this book is for:
This book is ideal for software developers, machine learning engineers, data scientists, and technical researchers who want to move beyond using API endpoints and start

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
