In this engaging liveVideo, veteran AI researcher Sebastian Raschka leads you step by step through the inner workings of a large language model. You’ll see and hear Sebastian talk you through each step of the LLM project you build in his bestselling book Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch).

In this liveVideo, you’ll explore how to:

Plan and code all the parts of an LLM
Prepare a dataset suitable for LLM training
Fine-tune LLMs for text classification and with your own data
Use human feedback to ensure your LLM follows instructions
Load pretrained weights into an LLM

This liveVideo is the perfect orientation to LLMs for software engineers ready to lead AI initiatives or data scientists and ML researchers who want build or adapt their own LLMs.

This unique course also includes six essential prerequisite videos created by AI expert Abhinav Kimothi, author of A Simple Guide to Retrieval Augmented Generation. Abhinav delivers an insightful review of everything from the Python features you need to work on LLMs to advanced PyTorch operations, ensuring you can succeed regardless of your starting point.
