Last updated 1 year ago

As we embark on this educational expedition, it's crucial to start with the fundamental question—What exactly are Large Language Models (LLMs)?

To answer this and set the stage for everything that will follow, we have a special video by our friend, Mike Chambers from Amazon Web Services.

What You'll Learn from the Video

  • An easy-to-understand explanation of what Large Language Models are

  • The diverse range of applications that LLMs empower

  • This video serves as an essential foundation and a smooth start for your learning journey.
