LLM Under the Hood

LLM (Large Language Model) has evolved into a vogue (and by implication vaguer) term, with an ever-growing portfolio of tools, applications, parameters, architectures, and AI / ML approaches. It’s meaning has extended so far and wide that sometimes LLM seems to be the only type of AI in the market, or useful to organisations. Such proliferation makes it rather challenging, especially for non-specialists, to understand the differences between all the “LLMs” out there and what each “LLM” can do well or not. This course will help the audience to separate marketing talk, captivating headlines, and typical glossing (so-called “typicality bias”) of the technology from more dependable facts. It provides critical clarity for decision making around this technology in terms of procuring, governing, deploying, and relying on LLMs directly (e.g. Natural Language Processing, NLP), with support (e.g. via Retrieval Augmented Generation, RAG), or via extensions (e.g. chatbots and Agentic AI). This course also provides the foundation to assess and better manage typical risks, like vendor lock-in.

This course extends our Deep Learning Essentials and complements the Agentic AI Primer.
