What people are saying

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Cannot recommend the instructors ENOUGH when it comes to building, shipping, and sharing LLM applications. They inspire a hands-on mentality and are thoughtful and responsive to feedback and requests. They are amazing people to have in your network and were instrumental in helping me switch careers from structural engineering to Generative AI!"

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β My journey with LLM Ops has been transformative! The hands-on ethos, engaging community sessions, and guidance from instructors demystified LLMs for me, making app dev accessible and enjoyable. This course fueled my confidence, empowered me to bring a passion project to life, and grew my network of LLM practitioners. An inspirational adventure!

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β More than a course this is an experience. Under the expert guidance of the instructors I found myself going deep into ML, understanding theory, code, and application like never before. Beyond knowledge, it's about community. If you are planning to attend a live course on AI/ML, I recommend AI Makerspace as the best place to get that education.

They have attracted a special group of practitioners and are selective in the process. At the intersection of data science, machine learning engineering, and MLOps comes the current future of LLMOps.
