What You’ll Get from Generative AI with LLMs?

  • Gain foundational knowledge, practical skills, and a functional understanding of how generative AI works.
  • Dive into the latest research on Gen AI to understand how companies are creating value with cutting-edge technology.
  • Instruction from expert AWS AI practitioners who actively build and deploy AI in business use cases today.

Course Objectives & Outcomes

  • 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.
  • Receive a Coursera certificate demonstrating your skills upon completion of the course.
