In diesem Kurs gibt es 4 Module
"Master Generative AI with hands-on training in Large Language Models (LLMs), PEFT techniques (LoRA, QLoRA), and Diffusion Models using Hugging Face, diffusers, peft, trl, and bitsandbytes. This course takes you from the internals of decoder-only transformers to building a specialist fine-tuned LLM and generating high-quality, controllable images with ControlNet.
In Module 1, explore decoder-only transformer architectures, self-attention, causal masking, KV caching, and token flow mechanics. Module 2 focuses on Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT), where you'll implement LoRA, QLoRA, and 4-bit quantization to fine-tune large models on consumer GPUs using SFT pipelines. Module 3 dives into diffusion models, covering forward/reverse processes, UNet, schedulers (DDIM, Euler, DPM++), and ControlNet conditioning. Module 4 is a capstone where you'll build a Specialist LLM — from dataset creation to adapter export and evaluation.
By the end of this course, you will:
- Build and optimize decoder-only transformer pipelines with KV caching
- Fine-tune 7B+ LLMs using LoRA, QLoRA, and SFT pipelines on limited hardware
- Configure diffusers pipelines with ControlNet for controllable image generation
- Train, export, and evaluate a domain-specialized LLM adapter end-to-end"

Do I need prior experience with LLMs or deep learning?
A basic understanding of Python, PyTorch, and neural networks is helpful. Familiarity with transformers is a plus but not mandatory — we cover decoder internals from scratch.
What tools and libraries will I use?
You'll work with Hugging Face transformers, peft, trl, bitsandbytes, and diffusers for LLM fine-tuning and image generation.
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.
