Start Here: Welcome to the Bootcamp

Generative AI has taken center stage. It’s no longer just a dedicated vertical in companies but is becoming a core component of engineering teams. If you haven’t realized yet, with the release of Open o1, we’re at a transformative moment akin to when the Transformer architecture—the “T” in ChatGPT—was invented. With this course, you’ll delve into why it’s the next big thing and where Large Language Models (LLMs) are headed, with insights directly from the maker of Open AI o1 and the Transformer architecture. More about that in the course’s Bonus Sections.

Mainly, you’ll learn the basics of LLMs and then move quickly beyond creating “toy” projects to efficiently learn and solve the needs that arise when you productionize Generative AI, while building viability and impact. Let’s go! 🚀
