The linked LLM Course separates learning to build language models from learning to build applications with them. Optional fundamentals cover mathematics, Python and neural networks; the scientist track focuses on model development, while the engineer track covers application construction and deployment.
For application builders, the progression connects running a model to supplying relevant documents and evaluating its answers. It distinguishes checking whether retrieval found useful material from checking the generated response. The repository also links practical notebooks. Its course material is free, which does not establish that every associated computing service is free to run.
