About the Course

In Generative AI with Large Language Models (LLMs), you’ll learn the fundamentals of how generative AI works, and how to deploy it in real-world applications. By taking this course, you'll learn to: - Deeply understand generative AI, describing the key steps in a typical LLM-based generative AI lifecycle, from data gathering and model selection, to performance evaluation and deployment - Describe in detail the transformer architecture that powers LLMs, how they’re trained, and how fine-tuning enables LLMs to be adapted to a variety of specific use cases - Use empirical scaling laws to optimize the model's objective function across dataset size, compute budget, and inference requirements - Apply state-of-the art training, tuning, inference, tools, and deployment methods to maximize the performance of models within the specific constraints of your project - Discuss the challenges and opportunities that generative AI creates for businesses after hearing stories from industry researchers and practitioners Developers who have a good foundational understanding of how LLMs work, as well the best practices behind training and deploying them, will be able to make good decisions for their companies and more quickly build working prototypes. This course will support learners in building practical intuition about how to best utilize this exciting new technology. This is an intermediate course, so you should have some experience coding in Python to get the most out of it. You should also be familiar with the basics of machine learning, such as supervised and unsupervised learning, loss functions, and splitting data into training, validation, and test sets. If you have taken the Machine Learning Specialization or Deep Learning Specialization from DeepLearning.AI, you’ll be ready to take this course and dive deeper into the fundamentals of generative AI....

Very concentraited and understandable information with links on original papers and resources. Maybe it should be better if course will include more practice. Labs are more like seminars, so you just run code, not writing it at all and still have 100% grade for lab. In my opinion, addition of some practical tasks will improve the course

Exceptional course instructors! It focuses on the practical side of Generative AI models and how to get a LLM running by the end of the course. If you want a more detailed math explanation about how LLMs work you should look elsewhere. However, there are many important insights on the LLM project lifecycle in the practical sense.

The course provides a solid foundation in the basics of LLMs, helping learners understand how these models work, how to fine-tune them, and how they can be applied to solve real-world problems. The hands-on projects make it easy to put theory into practice, and the focus on ethical AI practices is both timely and relevant

This course is absolutely brilliant if you are getting into GenAI & LLMs. It was well explained, covering all topics and very detailed. The labs on AWS is a bonus as you get to work on AWS platform and play with the code and examples provided to you. You can also download these labs offline to experiment later on.

The course covered LLM, Transformer Architecture, Training, Fine-tuning LLM, Optimization techniques etc. The hands on lab also provided opportunity to execute and understand the concept. I humbly feel by adding at least one final lecture on API integration for applications will be useful. Thanks. Devadevan

This is a well-structured course that covers all the important points and gives a complete picture. Even I, who just (06.2023) wrote my master's thesis on "Large Language Models. Learning and Reasoning at the Inference Stage" found interesting new points and references. Thanks to all the course creators!

An excellent course from a team who is not only adept in what they teach, but is also good at teaching. The structure of the course caters to both - the theoretical and the practical learner. Practical learning through the labs gives a great understanding of LLMs and how they are programmatically managed.

Extremely useful course. Through this course, I got a detailed understanding of open-source LLM models, fine-tuning techniques, and understanding of LLM-enabled product deployment. Moreover, additional resources like research papers and some of the optional videos are very useful for further learning.

I found this course exceptional! I recommend it 100%. What I loved about it is that it is first and foremost scientific and accurate (and up to date!) but that doesn't come at the expense of being understandable or accessible. The course is varied in teachers and hands-on experience. Amazing job.

Very descriptive course that covers most SOTA topics under LLMs. Labs and quizzes were very helpful and nicely designed and not very time consuming for someone who can assign limited time for learning every week. Trainers are great and have helped raise interest in the upcoming research in LLMs.

A good introduction to the theory and concepts behind the Transformer architecture, Generative AI, and Large Language models. The course takes a systematic approach, following the Generative AI project lifecycle it proposes, and goes through each section in just about the right amount of detail.

Fantastic course, all instructors were amazing. Loved the quality and completeness of content. The hands on labs were constructed in such a way that they cover almost all theory concepts being taught in the videos. Highly recommended. Now its the time to apply this knowledge in real world.

Great course, covers a lot of ground and provides a lot of lab-based tutorials to get key concepts explained. Not a fan of the Responsible AI piece at the end though. While the intentions of Responsible AI are good, their overuse is causing issues as is the case with Gemini currently.

Really great deep-ish dive for folks who have a good grasp of general GenAI concepts, but want to go a bit deeper and see it in action, futz with some notebooks and python code, and learn more about the emerging ecosystem surrounding LLMs like LangChain, techniques like RAG, etc...

Loved it! It's a perfect level of difficulty for machine learning engineers interested in breaking into this new area. I have learned so much about evaluating models and fine tuning them. There were fun notebooks to actually remove toxicity from a model, and fine tune tasks.

A well designed course, covers all relevant topics at a high level with good practical examples. Course also shares relevant reading material if one wants to deep dive into any topic. Labs and quizzes are not easy to pass, one has to really understand the topic.
