Free Course: Mastering LLMs For Developers & Data Scientists

This course is $1 only because Maven doesn't allow free courses. We would make it free if allowed. Build skills to be effective with LLMs--- This started as an LLM fine-tuning course. It organically grew into a learning event with world-class speakers on a broad range of LLM topics. The original fine-tuning course is still here as a series of workshops. But there are now many self-contained talks and office hours from experts on many Generative AI topics. All materials + recordings are available instantly, on demand. There are 11 talks and 4 workshops (and growing) in addition to office hours. THIS IS A PAST COURSE THAT WE HAVE MADE FREE ($1), ALL TALKS ARE RECORDED AND ACCESSIBLE THROUGH MAVEN FOR LIFE. WE ARE GIFTING THIS COURSE TO THE COMMUNITY. SEE: https://hamel.dev/blog/posts/course/ There is no active support, office hours, or ability to ask questions from instructors as this course is free.

Four workshops guide you through productionizing LLMs, including evals, fine-tuning and serving. Workshop 1: Determine when (and when not) to fine-tune an LLMWorkshop 2: Train your first fine-tuned LLM with AxolotlWorkshop 3: Set up instrumentation and evaluation to incrementally improve your modelWorkshop 4: Deploy Your Model This is accompanied by 5+ hours of office hours. Lectures explain the why and demonstrate the how for all the key pieces in LLM fine-tuning. Your hands-on-experience in the course project will ensure your ready to apply your new skills in real business scenarios. The Fine-Tuning course has these guest speakers: - Shreya Shankar: LLMOps and LLM Evaluations researcher- Zach Mueller: Lead maintainer of HuggingFace accelerate- Bryan Bischof: Director of AI Engineering at Hex- Charles Frye: AI Engineer at Modal Labs- Eugene Yan: Senior Applied Scientist @ Amazon- Harrison Chase: CEO of LangChain- Travis Addair: Co-Founder &amp; CTO of Predibase- Joe Hoover: Lead ML Engineer at ReplicateFAQ: ------- Q: It says this course already started. Should I still Enroll?A: Yes. Everything is recorded, so you can watch videos for any events that have happened so far, join for live events moving forward, and even learn from talks long after the conference is over. Q: Will there be a future cohort?A: No. We were fortunate to have so many world-class speakers. We don't think this can be replicated, so it is now a one-time-only event with all recordings available. Q: Are you still giving out free compute credits?A: No. Students who enrolled after 5/29/2024 are not eligible for compute credits.
