Industry Leaders on Our Resources

“This is the most comprehensive textbook to date on building LLM applications, and helps learners understand everything from fundamentals to the simple-to-advanced building blocks of constructing LLM applications. The application topics include prompting, RAG, agents, fine-tuning, and deployment - all essential topics in an AI Engineer's toolkit.”

Jerry Liu, Co-founder and CEO of LlamaIndex

“A truly wonderful resource that develops understanding of LLMs from the ground up, from theory to code and modern frameworks. Grounds your knowledge in research trends and frameworks that develop your intuition around what's coming. Highly recommend.”

Pete Huang, Co-founder of The Neuron

“An indispensable guide for anyone venturing into the world of large language models...Covering everything from theory to practical deployment, it’s a must-have in the library of every aspiring and seasoned AI professional.”

Shashank Kalanithi, Data Engineer at Meta

“It contains thorough explanations and code for you to start using and deploying LLMs, as well as optimizing their performance. Very highly recommended!”

Luis Serrano, PhD, Founder of Serrano.Academy and author of Grokking Machine Learning

“It covers the foundational aspects of LLMs as well as advanced use-cases like finetuning LLMs, Retrieval Augmented Generation and Agents. This will be valuable to anyone looking to dive into the field quickly and efficiently.”

Jeremy Pinto, Senior Applied Research Scientist at Mila

How You Will Learn

  • LLMs as Your Teachers

    The best way to master LLMs is to use them. We teach you concepts while showing you how to leverage LLMs to accelerate your learning. From debugging code to researching new AI techniques, you'll learn how to turn LLMs into your personal tutors so you can stay ahead of the curve in this fast-evolving field.

  • A Practical-First Approach

    Forget the traditional “learn first, build later” mindset. With LLMs, you don’t need to master coding before starting your dream project—you can start building right away! Our bottom-up approach lets you create AI-powered applications from Day 1, and as you refine your project, you’ll naturally deepen your understanding of the underlying concepts.

  • Future-Proof Learning

    AI moves fast—no single course will keep you ahead forever. That’s why we don’t just teach you what’s relevant today; we teach you how to keep learning on your own. You’ll develop the skills to find, evaluate, and use the latest AI tools, libraries, and techniques to stay ahead without relying on static content or endless new courses.

Who Are These Resources For?

Our material is designed for highly motivated learners who are ready to invest in their future. While we offer a variety of courses for every skill level, you won’t just be sitting through long videos; you’ll be actively building and learning through hands-on projects. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced coder, our tailored content challenges you and grows with your skills. Expect to dedicate time and effort to complete practical assignments that reflect real-world applications. Our resources are designed by experts with real industry experience, meaning you’ll learn what it takes to thrive in today’s AI landscape.

This course is highly valuable. You can learn a lot about different critical aspects of LLMs and RAG. Before taking it, I used to wander through endless resources, most of which were, in fact, low quality. The course is fantastic, and I highly recommend it to everyone. One of the things I love about the course is that it’s not just a series of video lectures; it includes many code notebooks with detailed explanations, allowing you to learn by coding and engaging, which is the best approach. In order to create a good generative AI app with LLMs, a person should be knowledgeable about various topics, such as effective prompting, choosing the right tools, data collection and curation, working with various modalities, vector databases, query engines, building RAG systems for different needs, creating agents with tools like internet search, understanding various cloud and API providers, working with local LLMs, evaluation methods, deploying efficiently using techniques like quantization and caching, among many other related topics. This course covers ALL of them. Moreover, the support of creators have been great, I noticed a few minor issues in the code examples, which were fixed when I pointed them out!

A highly detailed course that truly turns you into a professional LLM developer. It covers a wide range of topics: data collection, search, re-ranking, chunking, deployment, various techniques and approaches that may work in some cases and not in others. This is exactly what immerses you in real-world challenges, where you’re faced with a task and must find a solution. There’s no perfect or one-size-fits-all answer; every task has its own path. The essence of this course is to provide these different approaches so you can gain hands-on experience and develop an inner intuition, understanding which approach works best for a particular problem. I am grateful to the Towards AI team for delivering such an amazing course. This course has raised me to an even higher level!
