Gain hands-on experience building, fine-tuning, and deploying GenAI applications using DeepSeek Key Features: - Explore DeepSeek's architecture, training data, and reasoning capabilities - Build agents, fine-tune with distillation, and deploy with CI/CD pipelines - Apply DeepSeek to real-world use cases like coding, ideation, and legal analysis - Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Book Description: Learn how to build, fine-tune, and deploy AI systems using DeepSeek, one of the most influential open-source large language models available today. This book guides you through real-world DeepSeek applications-from understanding its core architecture and training foundations to developing reasoning agents and deploying production-ready systems. Starting with a concise synthesis of DeepSeek's research, breakthroughs, and open-source philosophy, you'll progress to hands-on projects including prompt engineering, workflow design, and rationale distillation. Through detailed case studies-ranging from document understanding to legal clause analysis-you'll see how to use DeepSeek in high-value GenAI scenarios. You'll also learn to build sophisticated agent workflows and prepare data for fine-tuning. By the end of the book, you'll have the skills to integrate DeepSeek into local deployments, cloud CI/CD pipelines, and custom LLMOps environments. Written by experts with deep knowledge of open-source LLMs and deployment ecosystems, this book is your comprehensive guide to DeepSeek's capabilities and implementation. What You Will Learn: - Discover DeepSeek's unique traits in the LLM landscape - Compare DeepSeek's multimodal features with leading models - Consume DeepSeek via the official API, Ollama, and llama.cpp - Use DeepSeek for coding, document understanding, and creative ideation - Integrate DeepSeek with third-party platforms like OpenRouter and Cloudflare - Distill and deploy DeepSeek models into production environments - Identify when and where to use DeepSeek - Understand DeepSeek's open philosophy Who this book is for: AI engineers, developers, and builders working with open-source LLMs who want to integrate DeepSeek into GenAI applications, agent workflows, or deployment pipelines.
