Coverage of large language models as working tools: how they are built, trained, fine-tuned, and deployed in real systems. Expect analysis of open-weight releases, capability trends, and the shifting balance between open and closed frontier models. You will also find practical takes on model selection, prompting, evaluation, and the tradeoffs practitioners weigh when putting LLMs into production.
