foreword

I first met Mark at the PNC Innovation Summit at the University of Kentucky, at which we were both presenters. His topic was How Machines Learn. From our very first encounter, I was struck by Mark’s ability to explain complex concepts in an engaging and easy-to-understand manner. His knack for breaking down intricate ideas into digestible, relatable terms was truly impressive, and it’s a gift that he now shares through his latest book, Learn Generative AI with PyTorch.

At Native AI, where I am cofounder and chief operating officer, we are tasked with generating predictive synthetic data that is both highly accurate and robust. Mark’s exploration of techniques like temperature and top-K sampling to control the precision of ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
