We can all be AI engineers – and we can do it with open source models

The post discusses how the barriers to AI engineering are rapidly disappearing. It highlights that building AI applications is becoming simpler and more accessible, with tools and workflows that are familiar to developers. The use of open source models ensures data privacy and compliance with regulations. Key components of AI projects include models, prompts, knowledge bases, integrations, tests, and deployment. The post advocates for an 'AISpec' YAML file to streamline AI project setups and encourages developers to leverage their existing skills in version control and deployment to build AI applications.
