I work on frontier models directly and I I wrote a guidebook for folks like you. https://ravinkumar.com/GenAiGuidebook/book_intro.html

It has a mix of concepts and hands on code, and lots of links to the best places to learn more. I'm keeping it up to date as well, about to merge a guide on building applications, which is what it sounds like you want.

Here's my Google scholar if you want credentials https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Oq99ddEAAAAJ&hl=en...
