Course Overview

In this course, you\'ll go beyond using out-of-the-box pretrained LLMs and learn a variety of techniques to efficiently customize pretrained LLMs for your specific use cases—without engaging in the computationally intensive and expensive process of pretraining your own model or fine-tuning a model\'s internal weights. Using the open-source NVIDIA NeMo™ framework, you’ll learn prompt engineering and various parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods to customize LLM behavior for your organization.

Course Objectives

  • Use prompt engineering to improve the performance of pretrained LLMs
  • Apply various fine-tuning techniques with limited data to accomplish tasks specific to your use cases
  • Use a single pretrained model to perform multiple custom tasks
  • Leverage the NeMo framework to customize models like GPT, LLaMA-2, and Falcon with ease
