🧠 LLM Engineering Roadmap β€” Complete Developer Guide

🧠 Just came across an awesome open-source resource for anyone looking to break into LLM Engineering!

The LLM Engineering Roadmap by @tal7aouy is a structured 24-week, self-paced guide that takes you from beginner to production-grade LLM Engineer.

Here's what makes it stand out:
βœ… Covers everything from Foundations β†’ RAG β†’ Agents β†’ Production Systems β†’ Security
βœ… Includes architecture schemas (LLM stack, RAG pipeline, Agent loop)
βœ… Curated tools, resources & real-world projects at every phase
βœ… Only ~2 hours/day commitment

πŸ“Œ The roadmap is broken into 6 phases:
1️⃣ Foundations β€” Transformers, embeddings, prompting basics
2️⃣ Applied LLM Engineering β€” LangChain, FastAPI, structured outputs
3️⃣ RAG & Knowledge Systems β€” Vector DBs, chunking strategies
4️⃣ Agents & Automation
5️⃣ Production Systems
6️⃣ Security & Advanced Topics

Whether you're a developer exploring AI or an engineer leveling up β€” this is a goldmine πŸ’Ž
