Bigger isn’t always better. Train and tune highly focused language models optimized for domain specific tasks.
When you need a language model to respond accurately and quickly about a specific field of knowledge, the sprawling capacity of a LLM may hurt more than it helps. Domain-Specific Small Language Models teaches you to build generative AI models optimized for specific fields.
In Domain-Specific Small Language Models you’ll discover:
• Model sizing best practices
• Open source libraries, frameworks, utilities and runtimes
• Fine-tuning techniques for custom datasets
• Hugging Face’s libraries for SLMs
• Running SLMs on commodity hardware
• Model optimization or quantization
Perfect for cost- or hardware-constrained environments, Small Language Models (SLMs) train on domain specific data for high-quality results in specific tasks. In Domain-Specific Small Language Models you’ll develop SLMs that can generate everything from Python code to protein structures and antibody sequences—all on commodity hardware.
About the book
Domain-Specific Small Language Models teaches you how to create language models that deliver the power of LLMs for specific areas of knowledge. It provides a practical, application-focused counterpart to foundational texts like Sebastian Raschka’s Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch), showing you how to adapt large-scale concepts for efficient, specialized use. You’ll learn to minimize the computational horsepower your models require, while keeping high–quality performance times and output. You’ll appreciate the clear explanations of complex technical concepts alongside working code samples you can run and replicate on your laptop. Plus, you’ll learn to develop and deliver RAG systems and AI agents that rely solely on SLMs, and without the costs of foundation model access.

Hardback. Condizione: New. 1st. Want LLM power without the LLM price tag? Crave models that fit your data, laptop, and budget? Stop renting GPUs you cannot afford. Start building Domain-Specific Small Language Models today. Own your AI stack, end to end. Model sizing best practices: pick the smallest architecture that still delivers top-tier accuracy. Open-source toolchain: leverage Hugging Face, PEFT, and quantization libraries for zero-license freedom. Fine-tuning workflows: adapt existing checkpoints to niche datasets in hours, not weeks. Commodity hardware deployment: run chat, code, or bio models locally on a single GPU or CPU. Retrieval-augmented generation: fuse SLMs with RAG pipelines for grounded, up-to-date answers. Cost-control checklists: slash cloud spends and eliminate dependency on expensive foundation APIs. Domain-Specific Small Language Models, by AI director Guglielmo Iozzia, is a field guide packed with runnable Python code and real-world engineering insight. Step-by-step chapters demystify transformer architecture, quantization, and PEFT fine-tuning, then walk you through building RAG systems and autonomous agents that rely solely on SLMs. Clear diagrams, annotated notebooks, and troubleshooting tips keep learning smooth. You will finish with reusable templates, deployment scripts, and the confidence to deliver performant language models under tight hardware and budget constraints. Perfect for Python-savvy machine-learning engineers, data scientists, and technical leads who need domain-tuned AI now. Codice articolo LU-9781633436701
