Ai Engineering Core / Exploring Models

The 3 Dimensions of LLM Engineering

🧠 What You Will Master

By the end of this course, you'll have hands-on experience across these three core pillars: πŸ’ͺ


πŸ€– Dimension 1 β€” Models

You'll explore and work with a wide variety of AI models:

  • πŸ”“ Open-Source β€” freely available models you can run and modify

  • πŸ” Closed-Source β€” powerful commercial models like GPT and Claude

  • 🎨 Multi-modal β€” models that understand text, images, and more

  • πŸ—οΈ Architecture β€” understanding how models are structured under the hood

  • 🎯 Selecting β€” knowing which model to pick for the right job


πŸ› οΈ Dimension 2 β€” Tools

You'll get hands-on experience with the most popular tools in the AI ecosystem:

  • πŸ€— HuggingFace β€” the go-to hub for open-source models and datasets

  • πŸ”— LangChain β€” framework for building LLM-powered applications

  • πŸŽ›οΈ Gradio β€” build beautiful AI demos and interfaces instantly

  • πŸ“Š Weights & Biases β€” track and visualize your model training

  • ☁️ Modal β€” run heavy AI workloads in the cloud effortlessly


βš™οΈ Dimension 3 β€” Techniques

You'll learn the most powerful and in-demand AI engineering techniques:

  • πŸ”Œ APIs β€” connecting and communicating with AI models programmatically

  • 🎯 Multi-shot Prompting β€” guiding models with examples for better results

  • πŸ“š RAG β€” supercharging models with your own knowledge base

  • πŸŽ“ Fine-tuning β€” customizing models for your specific use case

  • 🀝 Agentization β€” building autonomous AI agents that take actions


πŸ”₯ Master all three dimensions and you'll have everything you need to build real-world, production-ready AI applications!
