About this course

The demand for technical generative AI (GenAI) skills is increasing, and businesses are actively seeking AI engineers who can work with large language models (LLMs). This IBM course is designed to build job-ready skills that can accelerate your AI career. In this course, you’ll explore transformers and key model frameworks and platforms, including Hugging Face and PyTorch. You’ll begin with a foundational framework for optimizing LLMs and quickly advance to fine-tuning generative AI models. You’ll also learn advanced techniques such as parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), low-rank adaptation (LoRA), quantized LoRA (QLoRA), and prompting. The hands-on labs will give you valuable, practical experience including loading, pretraining, and fine-tuning models using industry-standard tools. These skills are directly applicable in real-world AI roles and are great for showcasing in interviews. If you’re ready to take your AI career to the next level and strengthen your resume with in-demand Gen AI competencies, enroll today and start applying your new skills in just one week!
