Finetuning Large Language Models

  • up to 1 hour
  • Intermediate

Learn the fundamentals of finetuning a large language model (LLM) with practical experience on real data sets. Understand how finetuning differs from prompt engineering and when to use both techniques.

  • Finetuning
  • Data Preparation
  • Model Training
  • Model Evaluation
  • Neural Networks

Overview

Join our new short course, Finetuning Large Language Models! Learn from Sharon Zhou, Co-Founder and CEO of Lamini, and instructor for the GANs Specialization and How Diffusion Models Work. When you complete this course, you will be able to understand when to apply finetuning on LLMs, prepare your data for finetuning, and train and evaluate an LLM on your data. Finetuning allows the model to learn style, form, and can update the model with new knowledge to improve results.
