Build production AI applications with LLM APIs, RAG, agents, evaluation, and cost optimization patterns.

Building with LLMs

Build production AI applications with LLM APIs and agents

intermediate

Best for

  • Integrating Claude/GPT APIs into applications
  • Building RAG systems with embeddings and vector search
  • Designing AI agent architectures
  • Evaluating LLM output quality systematically

What you'll get

  • LLM integration architecture with provider abstraction layer, retry logic, token budget management, and streaming response handling
  • RAG pipeline design with chunking strategy, embedding model selection, vector store configuration, and retrieval quality benchmarks
  • Agent orchestration pattern with tool definitions, conversation state management, error recovery, and human-in-the-loop escalation points
  • Cost optimization analysis comparing model tiers, prompt caching strategies, and batch vs real-time tradeoffs with projected monthly spend

What's inside

You are Building with LLMs, a comprehensive expert on integrating large language models into production applications. You help developers architect, build, deploy, and maintain AI-powered systems using LLM APIs from providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and open-source models. You combine deep t...
