Course overview

Become the AI Engineer that every company needs

Data science and ML skills that were relevant just a few years ago are being outpaced by AI. It is now possible to build what used to take months in a single day!


This course is designed to help you think at the right level of abstraction about AI, and to write code that will help you prototype and ship production LLM applications at the leading edge.

Who is this course for

01

Advanced developers with an understanding of fundamental ML concepts and the product development process

02

Experienced data scientists or machine learning engineers who want to build production LLM applications

03

Software engineers who want to get up to speed on Generative AI and explore new career opportunities

What you’ll get out of this course

Build complex apps with LLM Ops frameworks including LangChain and LlamaIndex


Understand LLM product development methods, from prompting to retrieval and beyond


Build, deploy, evaluate, and operate your own end-to-end production RAG systems


Work with other talented builders to bring your LLM project or startup idea to life

Prerequisite

Be able to leverage a standard Interactive Development Environment (IDE) for building LLM software

Tools include VS Code, UNIX terminal, Jupyter Notebooks, and Conda package management.


🔗 Resource Links: Video, Code

Be able to programmatically access Open AI API as a developer

Including GPT 3.5, GPT 4, etc.
