Design and develop a full solution to a given business problem by selecting, training and applying LLMs
Compare and contrast the latest techniques for improving the performance of your LLM solution, such as RAG, fine-tuning and agentic workflows
Weigh up the leading 10 frontier and 10 open-source LLMs, and be able to select the best choice for a given task
Solve problems by applying leading open-source platforms, frameworks and tools, including Hugging Face, Gradio and Weights & Biases
State the common AI paradigms, and identify the types of business problems most suitable for each
Define fundamental data science concepts around deep learning, including training vs inference, generalizing vs overfitting, and the key ideas behind the NN
Describe core concepts such as Generative AI, LLMs and the Transformer Architecture, and discuss what can be achieved with state-of-the-art performance
Explain how LLMs work in sufficient detail to be able to train and test them, apply them to new scenarios, and diagnose & fix common issues
Implement LLM solutions in Python using frontier and open-source models with both APIs and direct inference
Execute code to write documents, answer questions and generate images.

Requirements
Familiarity with Python. This course will not cover Python basics and is completed in Python.
