Building LLM Applications
25 maart, 2025 – Virtual
Delve into the world of Large Language Models (LLMs) and state-of-the-art generative AI.
In this course, you will gain a profound understanding of the underlying concepts driving these cutting-edge technologies. Through hands-on modules, you will master diverse prompting techniques, enabling you to craft robust and reliable LLM applications. You will also explore the unique risks and limitations associated with LLMs, so that you are equipped with strategies to effectively mitigate potential challenges.
When this course is delivered virtually, it is split into half-days (4h) instead of the usual full days (8h).

What will you learn?
After the training, you will be able to:
Explain the core concepts behind LLMs & generative AI.
Get your model to answer questions about documents it was not trained on.
Create your own LLM applications.
Conduct searches on vectorized databases.
Enhance your LLM with information from external sources (Retrieval Augmented Generation – RAG).
Create LLM Agents that can call for actions to be taken and self-determine when extra information is needed to complete a task.
Program
- An introduction to word tokenization
- Generating text one word at a time: the effect of Temperature and Top-p on word selection
- Prompting a LLM: how to write prompts for OpenAI’s GPT API
