Foundations of Generative AI and Large Language Models Webinar
Curious about ChatGPT? Learn the fundamentals of Large Language Models, Generative AI, and how modern LLMs work.
Large Language Models (LLMs) have spurred wide interest in artificial intelligence, particularly with the new generative capability. This interactive online talk introduces artificial intelligence through the prism of large language models, exploring the key developments that have contributed to the recent Generative AI revolution.
Participants will examine three pieces of the puzzle behind modern LLMs: data, compute, and architecture. The session will introduce common terminology such as pre-training, fine-tuning, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), while providing an overview of the abilities and limitations of current LLMs. If you have used tools such as ChatGPT and are curious about how they function, this course is for you.
