Foundation Model Engineering: From Theory to Production — an open-source technical handbook

Foundation Model Engineering: From Theory to Production

An open-source handbook covering the full pipeline from Transformer internals to production deployment. Its 12 chapters span symbolism vs. connectionism, Transformer architecture, MoE, pre-training, alignment (RLHF/DPO), multimodal learning, and inference optimization. Each chapter has its own page, making it a solid reference for practitioners who want to fill in engineering gaps. The post does not disclose the author's background or update cadence, but the table of contents is well-structured.
