What this is

Master the art and science of working with LLMs from prompt design and fine-tuning to building production AI applications with the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs.

Tools and APIs change quickly; the course teaches principles alongside current examples. It does not award a certification, and API usage may cost money.

What you will be able to do

  • How transformer models and LLMs work under the hood
  • Advanced prompting: chain-of-thought, few-shot, RAG, and ReAct
  • Fine-tuning and parameter-efficient training (LoRA, QLoRA)
  • Building AI apps with LangChain and LlamaIndex
  • Embedding models and vector database integration
  • Evaluation, safety, and hallucination mitigation strategies
