Getting Started with LLMs: A Student Guide

Introduction to Large Language Models

Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 have revolutionized the way we interact with technology. But how do you get started building with them?

Step 1: Understand the Basics

Start with the fundamentals of NLP (Natural Language Processing). Understand tokenization, embeddings, and transformers.

Step 2: Hands-on Practice

Use libraries like Hugging Face Transformers and LangChain to build simple applications. Try running small models locally using tools like Ollama.

Step 3: Fine-tuning

Learn how to fine-tune models on your own datasets using PEFT and LoRA techniques.
