Description
This module will provide an exploration of LLM tools and techniques, including using OpenAI API, an open LLaMA model, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for improving AI system performance with external data. We will set up an LLM using both OpenAI’s API and a locally installed LLaMa model, and build a basic RAG system to demonstrate how external data can be leveraged to enhance AI outputs. Participants will leave with a familiarity of and the ability to use these LLM tech stack components.
