Overview
In this course, you explore tools and APIs available on Google Cloud for integrating large language models (LLMs) into your application. After exploring generative AI options on Google Cloud, next you explore LLMs and prompt design in Vertex AI Studio. Then you learn about LangChain, an open-source framework for developing applications powered by language models. After a discussion around more advanced prompt engineering techniques, you put it all together to build a multi-turn chat application by using LangChain and the Vertex AI PaLM API.

Reviews
Topics, material and specially instructor (Graham Godfrey) was beyond my expectations.
The class and material is good. I think some of the software needs to be updated.
Labs and the study materials provided for Architecting on AWS course are very easy to understand and explains all the topics required to pass the Associate certification.
Very good company. I've done technical trainings at their facility in downtown Montreal in the past and I'Ve always appreciated them.
Brandon was a great instructor. The virtual course materials and labs provided were very informative.
