About the Course

In Generative AI with Large Language Models (LLMs), you’ll learn the fundamentals of how generative AI works, and how to deploy it in real-world applications. By taking this course, you'll learn to: - Deeply understand generative AI, describing the key steps in a typical LLM-based generative AI lifecycle, from data gathering and model selection, to performance evaluation and deployment - Describe in detail the transformer architecture that powers LLMs, how they’re trained, and how fine-tuning enables LLMs to be adapted to a variety of specific use cases - Use empirical scaling laws to optimize the model's objective function across dataset size, compute budget, and inference requirements - Apply state-of-the art training, tuning, inference, tools, and deployment methods to maximize the performance of models within the specific constraints of your project - Discuss the challenges and opportunities that generative AI creates for businesses after hearing stories from industry researchers and practitioners Developers who have a good foundational understanding of how LLMs work, as well the best practices behind training and deploying them, will be able to make good decisions for their companies and more quickly build working prototypes. This course will support learners in building practical intuition about how to best utilize this exciting new technology. This is an intermediate course, so you should have some experience coding in Python to get the most out of it. You should also be familiar with the basics of machine learning, such as supervised and unsupervised learning, loss functions, and splitting data into training, validation, and test sets. If you have taken the Machine Learning Specialization or Deep Learning Specialization from DeepLearning.AI, you’ll be ready to take this course and dive deeper into the fundamentals of generative AI....

Amazing and up-to-date course about the most fascinating field of LLM use cases and potential.

I'd be glad if there will be a next-level course, that will go deeper into the actual design and 'how-to' options of the mechanisms and systems that were discussed (somewhat briefly) in this course.

Many thanks to the great team of instructors, and for the infrastructures that enables us with actual live labs on AWS systems, in tons of relevant and up-to-date reading materials.

You don't need to be an AWS user to benefit from this course. Clearly presented, SOTA & Great content on the latest LLM application developments!.

Special focus & in-depth around three key LLM themes within the Generative AI Project Life Cycle. With lot's of insightful implementation gems & details!

Themes: 1. Instructional & PEFT Parameter Efficient Fine-Tuning. 2.RLHF Alignment to Human Preferences. 3. LLM-power Applications that combine Reasoning & Action + "Tools".

The “Generative AI with Large Language Models” course provides a good overview and solid engineering understanding of the LLM architectures while building some intuition regarding the Generative AI project lifecycle. It's quite technical, and some general knowledge about Machine Learning (esp. RNN/Transformers) will definitely benefit the learning speed. There are practical labs in AWS SageMaker as well - roll out your sleeves and recall some Python!

This is a great course to get up to date on the current status of the field of LLMs. Even if you do not intend to develop LLM products yourself, it provides you with an intuition of their inner workings, application areas and challenges. Oh yeah...and listening to LLM challenges makes you realize how amazing we human beings are. Regardless of the impressive progress in this field, let's continue to be what we are best at; being human. :-)

This course is short enough that I could complete it in my spare time, yet long and pragmatic enough that I'm now able to take the next steps applying what's presented. I appreciate that I was given resources to dig into the science behind numerous topics, but only required to watch and read summaries. Finally, I found the lecture notes and slides useful when talking with my colleagues about this information.

It is a great course and really taught well. A special thanks to all who were involved in developing this course and breaking down a complex subject into a relatively easily understandable subject. It will be great if further modules are added in future to this course specifically examples of using LangChains and a project which executes an end to end real life toy example. Thank you for sharing knowledge.

This course is an effective way to learn about LLMs. Whether you are a hands-on practitioner, team leader, or thought leader, this course will give you the high-level perspective and the details you need to build real LLM-based products. The instructors are well-spoken experts on LLMs. I came away ready for me and my team to work with LLMs immediately. This is one of the best courses I've taken!

Loved it! Generally speaking, it's very well structured, and the instructors were very engaging and clear. However, I wished there was a bit more in-depth guidance through the labs. I'm sure that for someone with experience, it is fine, but for someone not as proficient in the coding department, it would be helpful to hear someone dissect the code. Really explain it. That would make it perfect

One of the most engaging courses that I have gone through on Coursera! Topics are covered in adequate depth, and the labs help to cement conceptual underpinnings of the course material. The course instructors have done an excellent job in keeping the material engaging. Week 3 is a little information dense, and with new developments in the field of LLMs, a Week 4 may be warranted in the future.

Even though this is a harsh beginning course for non computer science people, it encourages everyone to participate to the world of AI of all types, and explains very well and detailed how to fine tune your skills and specialities to make progress using LLMs. Regardless, if we will or not use AWS service, it opens a good opportunity and window to get good profit out of it.

This course provide very good Gen AI materials and it prompts me to starting to dive deeper into understanding low level knowledges like embedding and tokenizer stuff. I wish they can pick a smaller model that would allow users to use small machine to do pre-training with some optional data and some quiz questions & selections can be rephrased to make them less confusing.

It's a great course and very actionable material.

While I like AWS a lot (they were my first cloud and personal choice), in an academic setting, we should train people in technology in a vendor-agnostic manner (even if AWS is participating in the teaching).

How do these ideas work using other clouds?

I will be coming back for more! Exciting stuff. I can't get enough of it.

Very nice course, good instructors that explain clearly all the technical devcelopments around LLM's. I did many courses developed by deepleaning.ai, but this one is certainly much better, than other courses not given by Andrew Ng. The labs are alo good, but perhaps it would be better that the student has to program a few lines of code. Thet is a little bit too easy now.

This is a good course to take after the deep learning specialization series. It builds on top of the Transformer that was introduced in the Sequence Models. The labs take you through the workings of LLM: how to tune it, how to detect bias and how to leverage LLMs with external applications. Thank you to the instructors for very thorough explanations.

Generative AI with LLM another great course from Deeplearning.AI

This course was developed by a very professional team of instructors. I recommend this course for anyone want to understand LLM mechanics and what is required to have a real world application powered by LLM based on the latest research publications and frameworks till today.

Very concentraited and understandable information with links on original papers and resources. Maybe it should be better if course will include more practice. Labs are more like seminars, so you just run code, not writing it at all and still have 100% grade for lab. In my opinion, addition of some practical tasks will improve the course

Exceptional course instructors! It focuses on the practical side of Generative AI models and how to get a LLM running by the end of the course. If you want a more detailed math explanation about how LLMs work you should look elsewhere. However, there are many important insights on the LLM project lifecycle in the practical sense.

The course covered LLM, Transformer Architecture, Training, Fine-tuning LLM, Optimization techniques etc. The hands on lab also provided opportunity to execute and understand the concept. I humbly feel by adding at least one final lecture on API integration for applications will be useful. Thanks. Devadevan

This is a well-structured course that covers all the important points and gives a complete picture. Even I, who just (06.2023) wrote my master's thesis on "Large Language Models. Learning and Reasoning at the Inference Stage" found interesting new points and references. Thanks to all the course creators!
