AI Engineering: Building Multi-Modal Intelligent Systems with Vision, Language, and Audio
From LLM Fine-Tuning to Voice Agents, AR Interfaces, and Real-World Deployment
Unlock the future of artificial intelligence with practical, production-ready multi-modal engineering.
This hands-on guide is built for developers, researchers, and AI professionals who want to go beyond chatbots and dive into building intelligent systems that understand text, images, audio, and human intent - all in one pipeline.
Whether you're fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) or creating voice-driven AR interfaces, this book walks you through the real engineering decisions, tools, and architectures needed to bring multi-modal AI to life.
What You'll Learn:
Fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs): Train and adapt models like GPT-2, LLaMA, and Mistral for custom tasks using Hugging Face, LoRA, QLoRA, and PEFT.
Voice Interfaces: Combine Whisper, LLMs, and Bark/Tortoise TTS to build interactive speech-driven assistants.
Computer Vision + Language: Use models like BLIP, CLIP, and DETR to connect what systems see to what they say and understand.
Instruction Tuning & Hyperparameter Optimization: Build smarter, domain-specific models with efficient training workflows.
Multi-Modal Pipelines: Chain audio, image, and text inputs for question answering, summarization, tutoring, and AR/robotic control.
Real-Time Interfaces: Deploy intelligent agents using FastAPI, Streamlit, Gradio, Docker, and Hugging Face Spaces.
Edge & Offline Deployment: Optimize models with ONNX, quantization (4-bit, 8-bit), and TensorRT for low-latency inference on CPU/GPU.
