In this module, you learn about generative AI applications, and types of applications that can use the power of generative AI. You also learn about foundation models provided by Google, and challenges that exist when using generative AI in your applications.
What's included
1 reading1 assignment
In this module, you learn about generative AI prompts. A prompt is a natural language request submied to a language model to request a response back. You can design your prompts to improve the results being returned from a model.
What's included
1 reading1 assignment
In this module, you experiment with Vertex AI Studio, which provides tools to rapidly prototype, tune models with your own data, and seamlessly deploy to applications. You explore multimodal capabilities of Gemini, design prompts, and generate conversations.
What's included
1 video1 app item
In this module, you learn how to improve the accuracy of foundation models. You learn about retrieval augmented generation, or RAG, a technique for grounding a foundation model with external sources of knowledge. You'll also see an example RAG-capable generative AI solution architecture on Google Cloud.
