Certificate of Attendance On this one-day course, you’ll explore the different tools and APIs on Google Cloud that you can use to integrate large language models (LLMs) into your application.
After taking a look at the generative AI options on Google Cloud, we’ll then explore LLMs and prompt design in Vertex AI Studio. Next, you’ll learn about LangChain, an open-source framework for developing applications powered by language models.
After a discussion around more advanced prompt engineering techniques, you’ll end the session by putting all your knowledge together to build a multi-turn chat application using LangChain and the Vertex AI PaLM API.
This Application Development with LLMs on Google Cloud course is available as a private session and can be delivered via Virtual Classroom, at our training centre in The Shard, London, or at a location of your choice in the UK.
Course overview
Who should attend:
This course is ideal for anyone who wants to understand the different options available for using generative AI on Google Cloud, and how LLMs can help when it comes to developing applications.
