Overview

This hands-on course will teach you the art of fine-tuning large language models (LLMs). You will also learn advanced techniques like Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) and Quantized Low-Rank Adaptation (QLoRA) to customize models such as Llama 3 for specific tasks. The course begins with fundamentals, exploring fine-tuning, the types of fine-tuning, comparison with pretraining, discussion on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) vs. fine-tuning, and the importance of quantization for reducing model size while maint...Show More
