96384 - Large Language Models Bootcamp
Course Overview
Pre-trained Large Language Models like ChatGPT offer impressive capabilities but they cannot be used in scenarios where the underlying data is proprietary and requires industry-specific knowledge. Businesses are rushing to build custom LLM applications that offer enhanced performance, control, customization and most importantly, competitive advantage.Yes, a very basic level of python programming language.
This bootcamp offers a comprehensive introduction to get started with building a ChatGPT on your own data. By the end of the bootcamp, you will be capable of building LLM-powered applications on any dataset of your choice.
This program requires the participant has very basic level of python programming language.
