Building Apps with Large Language Models
This course is closed for enrollment.
"Robert's course on building applications with LLMs was great. His unique talent for simplifying complex topics made it easy for me to understand and, more importantly, apply them in real-life scenarios. Throughout the course, I encountered several nuances and challenges associated with LLMs that I wouldn't have been aware of otherwise. One aspect of the course that I particularly appreciated was its focus on practicality. Robert didn't just teach theory; he guided us through the process of shaping technical projects into prototypes that solve real-market challenges. I also really liked the sense of community within the course and collaboration with fellow students. Highly recommended!"
