Great list! However, I’d gently challenge the idea that books are the best or fastest way to learn AI/LLM engineering in such a rapidly-changing field. Wouldn’t hands-on projects, open source contributions, or even following key papers and community discussions be just as (or more) valuable for staying up to date?
you are spot on AI changing rapidly, I think the books are good starting points because they give you condensed knowledge of what has been proven so far, but yes, you need to keep yourself up-to-date, by building projects like building your own RAG, LLM integration etc.
If one can read just one book, the AI Engineering book is the on I recommend, particularly for software engineers who want to become AI Engineers.
