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....

Easily a five star course. You will get a combination of overview of advanced topics and in depth explanation of all necessary concepts. One of the best in this domain. Good work. Thank you teachers!

A very good course covering many different areas, from use cases, to the mathematical underpinnings and the societal impacts. And having the labs to actually get to play around with the algorithms.

The concepts thought were at very high level and the instructors were good in covering it all - however the downside is none of it is covered indepth due to which one may lose track of what exactly is being thought about .

The labs were just run the modules, there should have been assignments related to building and fine-tuning models, the labs could have been where we were asked to code rather than just run the blocks

This course helped me to learn the basics of fine-tuning and aligning LLMs. However, the Labs are simply demos rather than practices, and a bunch of technical detail is omitted.

Good overview but like too often on Coursera, the assignments are too easy. You don't need to write a single line of code to pass...

The lab parts do not make the student work nor present a challenge, they only make the student run through someone else's code.

(+) Excellent info, representation and organization

(-) The practical part is not good (some hands-on need to be added)

Week 1 and 2 are great but 3 isn't that exciting. I was expecting the course to be more technical.

Helpful introduction to LLMs but I wish we got the chance to go in-depth on implementation

Most of the course content was quite shallow, only skimming the surface of each topic. I felt that it was a good primer on LLMs and I'm glad I took the course, but if I could go back in time I'd simply audit it. The labs and quizzes add very little value and are in no way worth $50.

Muito pouca prática. Faltou HandsOn. O certificado em pdf está saindo com defeito na logomarca das empresas e isso pode remeter a desconfianças, por parte de terceiros.

Poor explanations. Can't hold the attention of the student. Start with problems and solve them using Generative AI and gradually explain different ways and concepts.

This course is okay for non-technical/non-programmers for understanding the concepts.

too shallow. The course is also not well organized and digress occasionally , e.g., for multi-task instruction fine tuning video, it's mainly about some data set intro instead of solid showing how multi-task fine tuning is done. Not recommend for people really want to learn genAI

its labs just doesnt work and not updated i follow the steps and end up in a dead place now i cant take my certificate sooooo sad
