This repository is a comprehensive educational resource focused on production-grade Generative AI systems, specifically designed for interview preparation and professional reference. Rather than being an executable application, it serves as a detailed knowledge base covering 16 critical areas of modern GenAI deployment, from foundational concepts like RAG systems and embedding technologies to advanced topics including multi-agent architectures, cost optimization, and system design. The content is organized into difficulty-levelled sections (Fresh, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert) with each topic featuring expected answers, common pitfalls (Red Flags), and real-world production statistics drawn from MENA enterprise deployments. What distinguishes this resource is its practical orientation - it emphasizes what actually works in production environments rather than theoretical concepts, with specific attention to trade-offs, failure modes, and optimization strategies observed in real implementations. While the repository contains no executable code and thus has no traditional software architecture or reusable components, it excels as structured educational content. The markdown-based organization allows for easy navigation, and the inclusion of SVG diagrams helps visualize complex architectures. The resource demonstrates particular strength in its coverage of production-specific concerns: evaluation methodologies, observability practices, security guardrails, and cost optimization techniques that are often overlooked in more theoretical treatments of GenAI topics.
llm-action is a comprehensive resource hub for large language model engineering that combines theoretical explanations with practical implementation code. It covers the full LLM lifecycle including data engineering, training (full fine-tuning and parameter-efficient methods like LoRA/QLoRA), model compression (quantization, pruning, distillation), inference serving, deployment, and evaluation. The repository contains both educational documentation and runnable code examples, with particular emphasis on Chinese-language resources and domestic AI hardware adaptation (especially Huawei Ascend NPUs). While it serves as a knowledge base, its inclusion of actual training scripts, inference servers, and utility tools makes it primarily application-oriented rather than purely research-focused.
