Welcome to this hands-on course on building with Meta’s open-source LLaMA!
You'll dive into the world of Large Language Models (LLMs), starting with the fundamentals — how LLMs work, why they matter, and the latest versions of LLaMA stand out.
With step-by-step guidance, you’ll run a lightweight version of LLaMA in Google Colab, generate and control text, craft effective prompts, build structured and creative outputs, and apply it to translation, summarization, and Q&A.
You’ll also evaluate model performance, address ethical challenges, fine-tune models using LoRA/QLoRA, and deploy your own real-time LLaMA-powered API.
Whether you're into building chatbots, smart assistants, or creative tools, this course equips you with practical skills to bring your AI ideas to life. Let’s get started and unlock the full potential of LLaMA!
Prerequisites
- Python (version 3.8 or later), Hugging Face Transformers library, and a code editor or IDE (e.g., VS Code or Jupyter Notebook)
- Intermediate Python skills are required.
- Familiarity with large language models (LLMs) or Hugging Face tools is helpful but not mandatory.
