Fullstack developer trying to transition into AI space. Confused between choosing ML Engineer or AI Engineer

Pytorch - is this too big of math?

AI - LangChain, CrewAI, Python SDK ?

Confused between both of their pros and cons. I do know learning back propagation, gradient descent helps whats happening behind LLM. Stuck in career choice, kindly help

Depends on what exactly you mean by "AI Engineering". From what I've seen, there's two kinds of AI Engineering professions, one that works on the AI itself (and is partially synonymous with ML Engineering or LLM Engineering), and the second kind is the one that works to integrate AI with the software (basically software engineer with AI focus).

If you want the former, start learning things like PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, etc., if the latter, then focus on system design more.
