Course overview
👋 Welcome to your next great LLM adventure!
🏗️ 🚢🚀 We invite you to join the close-knit AI Makerspace community and start building, shipping, and sharing with us!
🤩 Each cohort culminates in a unique live Demo Day experience!
🧑💻 You will learn to prototype LLM applications according to best practices, using the four primary patterns of Generative AI as first principles: Prompt Engineering, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), Fine-Tuning (of LLMs and embedding models), and Agents.
🧑🤝🧑 You will get hands-on building and sharing complex LLM applications weekly, receiving constant feedback during live sessions and through your homework submissions via instructors, peer supporters, and your fellow cohort members.
📇 RAG systems are front and center in the course. You'll learn how to build applications from quick prototypes with OpenAI GPT models to scalable production applications with the latest open-source LLMs and embedding models.
☁️ While never getting locked into a single cloud-computing vendor, you'll orchestrate systems from scratch in Python and using core version-controlled LangChain constructs, the leading framework for building production LLM applications.
🧐 You will outfit your applications with visibility and monitoring tooling from LangSmith, and you'll learn to evaluate your applications' inputs, outputs, and usage!
🚀 Optimize your prompting with DSPy, your RAG applications with advanced retrieval and chunking, and your LLM inference and serving with AWQ and vLLM!

**NOTES**
**💰 How much do the tools cost?
Don't worry! This course is for the GPU-poor among us!
This course adapts to industry-standard open-source software and compute hardware and is cloud platform agnostic. We strive to keep your additional costs low (below ~$100 total). Check Q&A for more info!**
**🙋 What are the prerequisites?
All applicants must complete THE AI ENGINEERING BOOTCAMP CHALLENGE. This will require you to set up your LLM application development environment and deploy your first LLM application!
If you're unsure if this could be a fit for you, submit your application and give the challenge a try! It is the best way to test whether or not this level of coding and detail is what you're looking for**

LLM Ops: LLMs in Production
LLM Engineering: The Foundations
Co-Founder & CEO @ AI Makerspace
In 2023, we created the LLM Engineering: The Foundations and LLM Ops: LLMs in Production courses on Maven!
From 2021-2023 I led the product & curriculum team at FourthBrain (Backed by Andrew Ng's AI Fund) to build industry-leading online bootcamps in ML Engineering and ML Operations (MLOps).
Previously, I worked as an AI product manager, university professor, data science consultant, AI startup advisor, and ML researcher; TEDx & keynote speaker, lecturing since 2013.

Co-Founder & CTO @ AI Makerspace
In 2023, we created the LLM Engineering: The Foundations and LLM Ops: LLMs in Production courses on Maven!
During the day, I work as a Developer Advocate for NVIDIA. Previously, I worked with Greg at FourthBrain (Backed by Andrew Ng's AI Fund) on MLE and MLOps courses, and on a few Deeplearning.ai events!
A former founding MLE and data scientist, these days you can find me cranking out Machine Learning and LLM content!
My motto is "Build, build, build!", and I'm excited to get building with all of you!

Active hands-on learning at the edge
We teach concepts AND code. Never one or the other. AI has accelerated so quickly that anyone who's been a manager the last few years has not yet seen the code for themselves.
Project-based and community-driven
You’ll be interacting with other learners through breakout rooms and project teams. We can't wait to see what you build, ship, and share on Demo Day projects 🤩.
Find fellow travelers for your journey
Join a community of like-minded AI practitioners who are all in on Generative AI, and who are heading down the same career path as you are.
