What you will get:
- A real "turnkey" project. At every stage (from concept to deployment), you will work on your own LLM product: gathering data, building a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline, designing the user interface, and deploying the service using OpenAI, LlamaIndex, and Gradio.
- Portfolio and MVP. The final project will not just be a study assignment but a full-fledged portfolio element or a minimal viable product for your startup or company.
- Career as an LLM Developer. The role of an LLM developer is one of the most in-demand and emerging in the industry. You will gain a competitive advantage in the job market and confidently pass technical interviews.
- Deep understanding of the ecosystem. You will learn not only technical techniques (prompt engineering, fine-tuning, complex RAG channels) but also the economics of GenAI, niche selection, and monetization strategy.
- Scaling skills. Discover how to adapt LLM solutions to corporate requirements: ensuring reliability, accuracy, and security as user numbers grow.
Who it's for:
- Developers, ML engineers, and data scientists looking to quickly master the profession of LLM Developer
- Computer science and AI students preparing for a career leap
- Senior engineers planning to implement GenAI solutions in their company or launch their own startup
What you need to know beforehand:
- Confident in Python (intermediate or higher)
- Basic knowledge of Git and GitHub
- Willingness to dedicate at least 50 hours of practice to the course
In over 50 hours of live sessions and practice, you will become a professional capable of creating, deploying, and scaling complex GenAI products. Join and become one of the leading LLM developers!
