New course! Generative AI with Large Language Models, created with @AWS and hosted on @coursera. This course goes deep into the technical foundations of LLMs and how to use them. You can sign up here: deeplearning.ai/courses/gene…
You’ll work through the full life-cycle of a generative AI project, and learn specific techniques like RLHF; zero-shot, one-shot, and few-shot learning with LLMs; advanced prompting frameworks like ReAct; even fine-tuning LLMs, and gain hands-on practice with all of these techniques.
Instructors @anbarth @cfregly @Shelbee_SE and @mikegchambers all do incredible Generative AI work at AWS, and have supported many companies to build creative LLM applications. They bring tremendous practical LLM expertise to this course.
I'm confident you’ll finish this course with a deeper understanding of how LLMs work, and how to use them. I hope you enjoy the course! – at Palo Alto, CA

«Первыми сломались те, кто верил, что скоро все закончится.
Потом – те, кто не верил, что это когда-то закончится.
Выжили те, кто сфокусировался на своих делах, без ожиданий того, что ещё может случиться»
