LLMs from Scratch: Build, Align & Fine-Tune with PyTorch (Udemy.com)

The best teacher of all the courses Ive taken. He understands the most of all the courses I've taken the perspective of a person who doesn't know much about the information he's teaching. He uses animation in some lessons which is always a plus! Very in Dept I really felt like got way more value than I expected. You still have to use google search ai and YouTube to fill in whatever you don't understand. EVERYONE interested in learning coding alms from scratch should take this course. Only bad thing is I can't download the videos like I can other courses.

This course completely exceeded my expectations. I genuinely loved everything about it: the energy, enthusiasm, and positivity of the instructor made learning feel exciting rather than overwhelming. The way complex concepts around LLMs were explained was incredibly clear and engaging. It honestly felt like more than just a technical course—it was like a journey that kept me curious and motivated throughout. The instructor’s passion really shows, and it made a huge difference in how deeply I connected with the material. I’ve come out of this course with a much stronger interest in LLMs and a real drive to keep learning more. It sparked something in me. Also, this course is massively undervalued. The amount of knowledge and clarity it provides is easily worth far more—honestly, it could be priced much higher and still be worth it. Huge thanks for creating such an amazing learning experience. Truly inspiring!

Metto 2 stelle e mezzo solo perché c'è sicuramente del grande impegno nel presentare il corso in un modo avvincente e stimolante, con un linguaggio vivace e dinamico (anche se un po' troppo forzatamente teatrale). Tuttavia quando inizia la parte tecnica, il docente si lancia nella realizzazione di una architettura LLM, per intero, senza andare per gradi, come copiando un grosso file già pronto e tentando di spiagarne ogni riga di codice (cosa molto difficile con un approccio del genere). Ad esempio, concetti importanti come il dropout vengono spiegati al volo non appena raggiunta la relativa riga di codice. Riesco a seguire il corso (con fatica) solo perché ho seguito altri corsi su Pytorch (nettamente migliori) in passato.

So engaging and clear. I had finished the 'Build a LLM from Scratch' book before starting the course and this course really helped me to put everything together coherently! For those who struggle to understand the course, I would recommend that you couple the course with the mentioned book to maximize benefit you get from this course!

Since the introduction of GPTs, I have been fascinated by AI and its ability to interact with people intelligently and coherently. Taking the "LLM Mastery: Hands-on Code, Align and Master LLMs" course has expanded my exposure beyond GPTs, allowing me to realize the universal potential of AI. I believe this potential will eventually reach self-realization, and I'm excited to play even a small part in its cultivation. The spark of magic lies in the math and probabilities used to create this intelligence, where outcomes can be somewhat managed but still remain unpredictable.

A very practical course to understand how an LLM works. To get the most out of it, you need prior knowledge of neural networks. The last two chapters would have been more interesting if they were accompanied by drawings and diagrams. Overall, I really liked it.

I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you, Javier, for being such an amazing instructor. Your deep knowledge of the subject shines through in every session, and it's truly inspiring. What sets you apart is your sincerity and dedication to teaching. You leave no stone unturned in making sure every concept is clear and best understood by all. Your thorough explanations and commitment to your students’ learning are truly commendable. Your thoughtfulness to structure and sequence the explanation such that the materials are best explained and understood (i.e. top bottom approach) is greatly appreciated and this is an example your sincerity by putting yourself in the shoes of the students. Thank you for going above and beyond to make the learning experience so enriching and impactful!

I love the energy, and the massive volume of information delivered! provides the proces for training an llm and tune it. And after this... im going to cherrypick my own dataset to deliver the knowledge I want my own ai to respond from :) exciting!

As a complete beginner to AI and ML, I was amazed by Javier's ability to teach complex LLM concepts in an accessible way. He has a remarkable talent for breaking down difficult topics into easy-to-understand explanations, even for those with no prior domain knowledge. Through step-by-step instructions and visual representations, Javier provided a comprehensive overview of LLM architecture, training, and alignment techniques. I gained a deep understanding of how these models work, far beyond what I expected to learn. Javier's clear and structured teaching style made the material engaging and easy to follow. I highly recommend the LLM Mastery course to anyone interested in understanding the inner workings of large language models, regardless of their background.

Premetto che ho lavorato in ambito learning machine, pertanto ho un bagaglio di conoscenze e competenze proupedetiche. Pertanto la mia valutazione potrebbe essere diversa da chi non ha basi. Devo dire che il mio giudizio su questo corso è: FANTASTIC!!
