3️⃣ From Beginner to Advanced LLM Developer Course
We did our best to create the most practical and in-depth LLM Developer course out there (~90 lessons) for software developers, machine learning engineers, data scientists, aspiring founders or AI/Computer Science students.
We’ve gathered everything we worked on building products and AI systems and put them into one super practical industry-focused course. Right now, this means working with Python, OpenAI, Llama 3, Gemini, Perplexity, LlamaIndex, Gradio, and many other amazing tools (we are unaffiliated and will introduce all the best LLM tool options). It also means learning many new non-technical skills and habits unique to the world of LLMs.
