Introduction

Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 are rapidly transforming the world and the field of data science. In just the past few years, capabilities that once seemed like science fiction are now becoming a reality through LLMs. 

The Generative AI with Large Language Models: Hands-On Training will introduce you to the deep learning breakthroughs powering this revolution, with a focus on transformer architectures. More importantly, you will directly experience the incredible breadth of capabilities the latest LLMs like GPT-4 can deliver. 

You will learn how LLMs are fundamentally changing the game for developing machine learning models and commercially successful data products. You will see firsthand how they can accelerate the creative capacities of data scientists while propelling them toward becoming sophisticated data product managers.

Through hands-on code demonstrations leveraging Hugging Face and PyTorch Lightning, this training will cover the full lifecycle of working with LLMs. From efficient training techniques to optimized deployment in production, you will learn directly applicable skills for unlocking the power of LLMs.

By the end of this action-packed session, you will have both a foundational understanding of LLMs and practical experience leveraging GPT-4.
