Transition from theoretical concepts to production-ready engineering in this hands-on course which is the final part in "Fundamentals of Generative AI" specialization. Designed for learners ready to move beyond the theory, this course focuses entirely on construction: you won't just learn about Large Language Models (LLMs); you will build, refine, and deploy them.
We start at the foundational level, coding different types of Transformer architectures from scratch using PyTorch. Through high-performance training with Automatic Mixed Precision and ROUGE/BLEU evaluation, you will learn the techniques to scale custom components into optimized systems. By utilizing pre-trained models and weighing performance trade-offs, you will gain the insight needed to select the most efficient path for large-scale deployment.
Moving to applied architecture, you will master Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) using LangChain, learning to evaluate pipelines and apply advanced techniques such as different chunking strategies, reranking and compression, and query transformation. You'll also navigate model selection as well as the critical trade-offs between RAG and Fine-tuning.
Finally, you will step into the future of AI by developing autonomous Agents. You will bridge the gap between development and production by setting up a professional workflow with Poetry and deploying a Summarizer AI Agent directly to the Google Cloud Platform (Vertex AI). By the end of this course, you will possess a tangible portfolio of code and a live deployment, proving your ability to engineer robust Generative AI solutions.
In this module, we dive deep into the Transformer architecture, its core mechanics, and different transformer architecture types (encoder-only, decoder-only, encoder-decoder). We gain hands-on experience by building and training a complete suite of PyTorch-based models from scratch. The module concludes with strategic deployment skills, teaching when to build custom models versus leveraging pre-trained models for efficiency and state-of-the-art results.

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG): Bridging the LLM Knowledge Gap
Modul 2•4 Stunden abzuschließen
Moduldetails
Module 2 addresses the limitations of static knowledge and hallucinations in Large Language Models (LLMs) by introducing Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). Learners will progress from building fundamental pipelines with Ollama and LangChain to implementing production-ready systems by adding rigorous RAG evaluation and utilizing advanced techniques such as custom chunking strategies, vector stores, reranking, and query transformations to optimize context retrieval and response generation. The module concludes with an overview of another adaptation technique called finetuning and a comparison of RAG vs. finetuning.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
