The demand for technical generative AI skills is exploding. Businesses are hunting hard for AI engineers who can work with large language models (LLMs). This Fine-Tuning Transformers and Gen AI Models course builds job-ready skills to advance your AI career.

In this course, youll explore transformers, model frameworks, and platforms such as Hugging Face and PyTorch. Youll begin with a general framework for optimizing LLMs and quickly move on to fine-tuning generative AI models. Further, youll learn about PEFT, low-rank adaptation (LoRA), quantized low-rank adaptation (QLoRA), and prompting.

Additionally, youll get valuable hands-on experience in online labs that you can talk about in interviews, including loading, pretraining, and fine-tuning models with Hugging Face and PyTorch.

If youre keen to take your AI career to the next level and boost your resume with in-demand Gen AI competencies that catch the eye of an employer. ENROLL today and have job-ready skills you can use straight away within two weeks!

This course comprises two purposely designed modules that take you on a carefully defined learning journey.

It is a self-paced course, which means it is not run to a fixed schedule with regard to completing modules. It is anticipated that you will complete the course in 8 hours. However, as long as the course is completed by the end of your enrollment, you can work at your own pace. And dont worry, youre not alone! You will be encouraged to stay connected with your learning community through the course discussion space.

The materials for each module are accessible from the start of the course and will remain available for the duration of your enrollment. Methods of learning and assessment will include discussion space, videos, reading material, quizzes, hands-on labs, quizzes and final assignment.

Once you have successfully completed the course, you will earn your IBM Certificate.

You will be able to:

Adapt large language models for custom tasks.
Fine-tune LLMs efficiently with minimal resources.
Build strong NLP models through transformer pretraining.
Train and optimize deep learning models with PyTorch.
Use Hugging Face to build, fine-tune, and deploy models.
