OVERVIEW OF THE COURSE

LLMs (Large Language Models) show powerful capabilities, but not knowing how to effectively and efficiently use them often leads to reliability and poor performance. Prompt engineering helps to improve discover capabilities, improve reliability, reduce failure cases, and save on computing costs when building with LLMs.

This hands-on course expands your prompting skills to effectively use and build with LLMs. It covers the latest prompting techniques (e.g., few-shot, chain-of-thought, RAG, prompt chaining) that you can apply to a variety of complex use cases such as building personalized chatbots, LLM-powered agents, prompt injection detectors, LLM-powered evaluators, and much more.

Topics include:

• Taxonomy of Prompting Techniques

• Tactics to Improve Reliability

• Structuring LLM Outputs

• Zero-shot Prompting

• Few-shot In-Context Learning

• Chain of Thought Prompting

• Self-Reflection & Self-Consistency

• ReAcT Prompting Framework

• Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)

• Fine-Tuning & RLHF

• Function Calling & Tool Usage

• LLM-Powered Agents

• LLM Evaluation & Judge LLMs

• AI Safety & Moderation Tools

• Adversarial Prompting (Jailbreaking and Prompt Injections)

• Common Real-World Use Cases of LLMs

• Prompt Engineering for models like GPT-3.5/4, Mixtral, Gemini, and others 

... and much more

PREREQUISITES

• We will explore and build with no-code tools.

• No knowledge of programming is required.

• Basic knowledge of LLMs is beneficial but not required.
