LLMOps: Building Real-World Applications With Large Language Models Online Courses

Udacity is a private online education platform founded in 2011 with the mission of providing affordable, accessible, and flexible learning opportunities. It specializes in industry-relevant courses and programs, often referred to as "Nanodegrees," designed in collaboration with leading companies such as Google, Amazon, and IBM. Udacity focuses on technology, programming, data science, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and other in-demand fields. Its innovative approach emphasizes practical, project-based learning, making it a popular choice for upskilling and reskilling professionals worldwide.

The goal of this course is to teach you everything you need to build real-world, production software with large language models. Unlike other LLM-focused courses, our emphasis will not be on theory or on building simple proof-of-concept projects in Jupyter notebooks. We will instead be exploring the operations behind production-grade LLM applications. This includes, but is not limited to experiment management and model versioning, fine-tuning and prompt engineering, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of LLMs, and AI safety and security (including how to protect against adversarial actors). Along the way, we'll build several full applications, including a chatbot, an evaluation system, and a clickbait detector. Finally, we'll look at the future of LLM and LLMOps.

Udacity began as an experiment in online learning, offering free university-style courses in subjects like computer science. Over time, it evolved into a robust platform tailored to meet the demands of the modern workforce. Its programs are crafted with input from top industry leaders, ensuring learners gain skills directly applicable to the job market. With a focus on student success, Udacity provides access to personalized mentorship, career services, and a portfolio of real-world projects to showcase expertise. Serving millions of learners globally, Udacity continues to bridge the gap between education and employment in the digital age.
