Generative AI Architecture
How generative AI systems are built and run: foundation models, prompting, embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation, vector databases, fine-tuning, agents, evaluation, and the GPU/TPU infrastructure underneath. Pairs with Understanding Transformers for the model mechanics and Agentic AI for the reasoning loop this series treats as a given.
