Three key AI books currently discussed provide foundational knowledge on AI development, with a focus on large language models (LLMs) and their applications. The first book, 'Build a Large Language Model from Scratch' by Sebastian Raschka, emphasizes coding an LLM to enhance understanding of its underlying mechanics. The second book, 'AI Engineering: Building Applications with Foundation Models' by Chipen, explores the integration of AI into practical applications. Lastly, 'LM Engineers Handbook' by Paul Ltin and Maxima Labona targets engineers looking to optimize LLM deployments while detailing the technical aspects of AI systems.
