From the course: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Generative AI Professional

Module introduction

(light upbeat music) - Hi, everyone. My name's Ari, and I'm going to be taking you through module one in this generative AI certification, which provides a tour of large language models. In this course, we'll be covering the basics of large language models. We'll begin by covering what large language models are, what they do, and how they work, all at a technical level. Then we will touch on various prompting techniques that are commonly utilized to encourage LLMs to generate text with specific characteristics. We'll talk about training and decoding, which is the technical term for generating text with LLMs. Along the way, we'll also touch on some dangers associated with deploying LLM based technologies, which include things like prompt injection and hallucination. Finally, we'll wrap up with covering some related cutting edge topics that are still being developed in academia as well as industry. It's my hope that in these lessons, you will be provided with an introductory yet technical understanding of large language models, so that you can start experimenting with them on your own. No special knowledge or background is required for these lessons, so anyone who's interested should be able to follow along. With that, let's jump on in. Let.
