From Models to Custom Silicon

A series of books for working engineers: how modern AI models work, how they are trained, how to run them fast, how their architectures differ, how to make them smaller and smarter, and how to build the hardware that runs them, from an FPGA to an ASIC.

  1. Book I

    How Modern AI Models Work

    This book gives a capable software engineer the mental models and practical skills needed to inspect, trace, compare, and explain modern AI model artifacts.
