Announcing How Transformer LLMs Work, created with Jay Alammar and Maarten Grootendorst, co-authors of the beautifully illustrated book, “Hands-On Large Language Models.” This course offers a deep dive into the inner workings of the transformer architecture that powers large language models (LLMs). The transformer architecture revolutionized generative AI; in fact, the "GPT" in ChatGPT stands for "Generative Pre-Trained Transformer." Originally introduced in the Google Brain team's groundbreaking 2017 paper "Attention Is All You Need," by Vaswani and others, transformers were a highly scalable model for machine translation tasks. Variants of this architecture now power today’s LLMs such as those from OpenAI, Google, Meta, Cohere, Anthropic and DeepSeek. In this course, you’ll learn in detail how LLMs process text. You'll also work through code examples that illustrate that transformer's individual components. In details, you’ll learn: - How the representation of language has evolved, from Bag-of-Words to Word2Vec embeddings to the transformer architecture that captures a word's meanings taking into account the context of other words in the input. - How inputs are broken down into tokens before they are sent to the language model. - The details of a transformer's main stages: Tokenization and embedding, the stack of transformer blocks, and the language model head. - The inner workings of the transformer block, including attention, which calculates relevance scores, and the feedforward layer, which incorporates stored information learned in training. - How cached calculations make transformers faster. - Some of the most recent ideas in the latest models such as Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) which uses multiple sub-models and a router on each layer to improve the quality of LLMs. By the end of this course, you’ll have a deep understanding of how LLMs actually process text and be able to read through papers describing the latest models and understand the details. Gaining this intuition will improve your approach to building LLM applications. Please sign up here:

New Course: Reinforcement Fine-Tuning LLMs with GRPO! Learn to use reinforcement learning to improve your LLM performance in this short course, built in collaboration with Predibase by Rubrik, and taught by Travis Addair, its Co-Founder and CTO, and Arnav Garg, its Senior Engineer and Machine Learning Lead. Reasoning models have been one of the most important developments in LLMs. Reinforcement Fine-Tuning (RFT) uses rewards to encourage LLMs to find solutions to multi-step reasoning tasks such as solving math problems and debugging code - without needing pre-existing training examples like in traditional supervised fine-tuning. Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) is a reinforcement fine-tuning algorithm gaining rapid adoption. Developed by the DeepSeek team and used to train the R1 reasoning model, GRPO uses reward functions that you can write in Python to assign rewards to model responses. It’s beneficial for tasks with verifiable outcomes and can work well even with fewer than 100 training examples. It can also significantly improve the reasoning ability of smaller LLMs, making applications faster and more cost effective. In this course, you’ll take a technical deep dive into RFT with GRPO. You’ll learn to build reward functions that you can use in the GRPO training process to guide an LLM toward better performance on multi-step reasoning tasks. In detail, you’ll: - Learn when reinforcement fine-tuning is a better fit than supervised fine-tuning, especially for tasks involving multi-step reasoning or limited labeled data. - Understand how GRPO uses programmable reward functions as a more scalable alternative to the human feedback required for other reinforcement learning algorithms, such as RLHF and DPO. - Frame the Wordle game as a reinforcement fine-tuning problem and see how an LLM can learn to plan, analyze feedback, and improve its strategy over time. - Design reward functions that power the reinforcement fine-tuning process. - Learn techniques for evaluating more subjective tasks, such as rating the quality of a text summary, using an LLM as a judge. - Understand why reward hacking happens and how to avoid it by adding penalty functions to discourage undesirable behaviors. - Learn the four key components of the loss calculation in the GRPO algorithm: token probability distribution ratios, advantages, clipping, and KL-divergence. - Launch reinforcement fine-tuning jobs using Predibase’s hosted training services. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build and fine-tune LLMs using reinforcement learning to improve reasoning without relying on large labeled datasets or subjective human feedback.

Our new short course Function calling and Data Extraction with LLMs, created with @NexusflowX and taught by Jiantao Jiao and Venkat, demonstrates how to prompt LLMs to form calls to external functions. You'll work with NexusRavenV2-13B, a 13B parameter open-source model that excels in function calling tasks while still being small enough to host locally. Learn to use function calling to extract structured data from unstructured text and access web APIs, and build an end-to-end application that processes customer service transcripts. You'll learn how to build LLM-powered applications that can analyze feedback, automate data entry, and enhance search. Please get started here:

LLMs can make sense of retrieved context because of how transformers work. In one of the lessons from the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) course, we unpack how LLMs process augmented prompts using token embeddings, positional vectors, and multi-head attention. Understanding these internals helps you design more reliable and efficient RAG systems. Watch the breakdown and keep learning how to build production-ready RAG systems in this course, taught by Zain:

"Introducing Multimodal Llama 3.2": As promised two weeks ago, here's the short course on Meta's latest open model! This short course is created with Meta and taught by Amit Sangani, Director of AI Partner Engineering at Meta. Meta’s Llama family of models is leading the way in open models, allowing anyone to download, customize, fine-tune, or build new applications on top of them. Learn about the vision capabilities of the Llama 3.2, and use it for image classification, prompting, tokenization, tool-calling. You'll also learn about the open-source Llama stack, which gives building blocks for many different stages of the LLM application life cycle. In detail, you’ll: - Learn what are the features of Meta's four newest models, and when to use which Llama model. - Learn best practices for multimodal prompting, with applications to advanced image reasoning, illustrated by many examples: Understanding errors on a car dashboard, adding up the total of photographed restaurant receipts, grading written math homework. - Use different roles—system, user, assistant, ipython—in the Llama 3.1 and 3.2 models and the prompt format that identifies those roles. - Understand how Llama uses the tiktoken tokenizer, and how it has expanded to a 128k vocabulary size that improves encoding efficiency and multilingual support. - Learn how to prompt Llama to call built-in and custom tools (functions) with examples for web search and solving math equations. - Learn about Llama Stack, a standardized interface for common toolchain components like fine-tuning or synthetic data generation, useful for building agentic applications. By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to build out new applications with the new Llama 3.2. Thank you to Ahmad Al-Dahle, Amit Sangani, and the whole AI at Meta team AI at Meta for all the hard work on Llama 3.2 — we’re excited to make these open models even more accessible to more developers with this new course!
