Developer Workshop: Open AI & GPT with Alan Smith
Large language models (LLMs) have rapidly transitioned artificial intelligence from almost obscurity into the mainstream. The constantly evolving models and the impact that they have on society have recently become front-page news. Many developers, data scientists and companies are rushing to adopt and leverage these developments in their business process, products and solutions.
- What do I need to consider when developing an LLM based solution?
- What is a generative pre-trained transformer, and how does it work?
- How can these models be leveraged by application developers to deliver real business value?
In this workshop you will explore how to leverage the OpenAI and 3rd party models to develop AI enhanced solutions. You will learn options for hosting and consuming different models and develop code and prompts to explore their capabilities. The integration with company knowledgebases to provide a ChatGPT experience tailored to your business requirements will be covered along with the concepts of using prompt engineering to influence the outputs generated by the model.
Hands-on labs using the latest LLM frameworks will be available in C# and Python, ranging from walk-through exercises to advanced challenges and group activities.
The field of LLMs is constantly evolving, the contents of the workshop are being continuously updated to cover the latest developments.
At the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Understand the evolution and internals of LLMs
- Utilize cloud-hosted and 3rd party models
- Master prompt engineering
- Implement retrieval augmented generation (RAG)
- Test and evaluate LLM responses
- Leverage and develop agents & plugins
Target audience and prerequisites
This workshop is ideal for developers and data scientists looking to deepen their understanding of generative AI and LLMs and integrate them into their projects.
Programming experience in C# or Python will be required for most of the hands-on labs.
Bring your own laptop with a development environment suitable for Python or C# development. You will need access to OpenAI or Azure OpenAI services.
