Why is the audio system generated?? Having a human trainer is far more interactive than having to listen to system generated audio and video files

By Carlos Silva on 5/30/2025

I took this course looking for a solid foundation in Generative AI, and while it delivers great content on LLM-based systems, it's important to be clear about what it doesn’t cover.

By Robin Threlkeld on 5/5/2025

Focusing on some important parts and providing functional code to use it is great. Also the technical explanations are not too long and not too short. Great Job!

By Chris Woolsey on 5/5/2025

A very enriching course! I'm working in the field, and I can confirm it is very complete. The different projects are similar to real-world problems that need to be solved.

By Jerry ONeal on 5/2/2025

Terrible. Not instructor-led. Just fluff that could have been a website. It's almost as if AI was used to generate an AI training video.

By Anderson Johnson on 4/27/2025

My experience taking this course was a great one. Great contents, concepts well-explained, engaging teaching style, and top-tier skills to apply to more advanced projects.

By Md Sa Shohag on 4/27/2025

It was good and delivers on what is promises. The instructor goes through 4 projects which give good hands on experience for beginners and sets the stage to explore further.

By Sunk Jung on 4/27/2025

The instructor is enthusiastic, creative, and easy to understand. The lessons are engaging, relatable, and dense with excellent resources to practice the content for yourself.

By Maria Gomes on 4/27/2025

Thank you, thank you, thank you for developing an exceptional course that covered an amazing amount of information regarding AI, LLMs, and of course Gradio (had to throw that one in).

By Oshion LloydImperial Dixon on 4/27/2025

This the best course I've taken on Udemy so far. It's timely, thorough, and entertaining while providing meaningful introductions to a great number of tools and conventions used in the field.
