  In Large Language Model-Based Solutions: How to Deliver Value with Cost-Effective Generative AI Applications, Principal Data Scientist at Amazon Web Services, Shreyas Subramanian, delivers a practical guide for developers and data scientists who wish to build and deploy cost-effective large language model (LLM)-based solutions. In the book, you'll find coverage of a wide range of key topics, including how to select a model, pre- and post-processing of data, prompt engineering, and instruction fine-tuning. 
   
   
   
  The author sheds light on techniques for optimizing inference, like model quantization and pruning, as well as different and affordable architectures for typical generative AI (GenAI) applications, including search systems, agent assists, and autonomous agents. You'll also find: 
   
   
   
  ● Effective strategies to address the challenge of the high computational cost associated with LLMs 
   
   
   
  ● Assistance with the complexities of building and deploying affordable generative AI apps, including tuning and inference techniques 
   
   
   
  ● Selection criteria for choosing a model, with particular consideration given to compact, nimble, and domain-specific models

  “Nancy Wexler’s story is a lesson in courage, fortitude, heroism, and above all … love. I read it in one gulp. My heart is full.” — Carol Burnett, actor and writer  
  When Nancy Wexler was 23, her father revealed that the mysterious illness inexorably diminishing her mother had a name. Huntington’s disease, a fatal, hereditary, neurodegenerative disorder. Newly aware she had a fifty-fifty chance of developing the same condition, Wexler could have retreated. Instead, she immersed herself in what has become a lifetime’s pursuit of the causes of the disease and a cure. 
  She pioneered groundbreaking fieldwork that enabled the identification of the responsible gene. She took charge of what is now the Huntington's Disease Foundation and made it a force to be reckoned with. And when the human genome became a focus of scientific study, she was an eloquent voice for patients in disease gene research and insistent advocate for ethical use of genome sequence information. 
  Now living with Huntington’s disease, Nancy Wexler has drawn on decades of letters, research notes, and vivid memories to describe her remarkable life with warmth, wit, and unsparing honesty. 
  She takes us from a privileged but shadowed California childhood to the shores of Venezuela’s Lake Maracaibo, where she and colleagues earned the community trust that enabled them to collect blood samples and construct pedigrees, to the innovative consortium of research laboratories where those samples revealed the malevolent gene, to the halls of Congress where she pressed legislators for resources, and the boardrooms where philanthropists were persuaded into action. 
  In this book, Wexler tells a unique story about the intertwining of personal stakes and professional passions, a testament to her courage, persistence, and belief that science can change destinies—one life, one family, one gene at a time.

  Our age will be defined by the climate emergency. Contrary to the doomist narrative that's taken hold about the climate emergency, the world has already begun deploying the solutions needed to deal with it. On a journey across five continents, Climate Capitalism tracks the unlikely heroes driving the fight against climate change. From the Chinese bureaucrat who did more to make electric cars a reality than Elon Musk, to the Danish students who helped to build the world's longest-operating wind turbine, or the American oil executive building the technology that can reverse climate damages, we meet the people working to scale technologies that are finally able to bend the emissions curve. 
   
   
   
  Through stories that bring people, policy and technology together, Akshat Rathi reveals how the green economy is not only possible, but profitable. This inspiring blend of business, science, and history provides the framework for ensuring that future generations can live in prosperity and that the wheels of progress don't falter.

  Man In My Head Has Lost His Mind...

  The howl of the bedside clock-radio carves through your dreams like a buzz-saw through butter, and you are awake. In another place. 
  Never mind the bright yellow sunlight that flecks your pillow and warms your face; you are rudely awake, and resent it. Gah! 
  You roll onto your side, cantilever your legs over the side of the bed and plant your feet squarely on the carpet. You rub your face. Massage your neck. Oh, what it is to be alive!--and conscious--oh oh oh, indeed. 
  But what is it to be alive, and conscious? 
  Alive, we have some inkling of; you eat, you sleep, you exercise. You stay healthy and keep your body going as best you can. But conscious? What even is that? 
  A good question is what that is, and a question for which this book has an answer. 
  So in this text, first I set the scene:Did our consciousness evolve?Does consciousness give us free will?Which animals do we think are conscious?Where does consciousness go when we sleep?How does consciousness deliver meaning?What might a theory of consciousness look like? 
  Then I propose:A model for consciousness at the macro scaleA mechanism for consciousness at the micro scale 
  Finally, I suggest some real world tests that science will one day be able to perform which will either corroborate or invalidate the theory I present here. This is a workable, testable theory. Science and philosophy demand nothing less. 
  A must-listen for the curious-minded, which you are, are you not? So listen on...
