LLM Basics

Exclusive - Hands-On introduction to Large Language Models and how to use them

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Large Language Models (LLMs), focusing on what they are, how to build them using PyTorch, and how to use them for inference in language tasks. Participants will learn about the history of LLMs, how LLMs fit into the larger AI/Generative AI landscape, neural-network-based language models, and how to use RNNs, LSTMs, and transformers for natural language processing tasks.
