Decision brief

Provides a comprehensive, free course on building production-ready LLM & RAG systems, including 12 hands-on lessons.

Good fit when

  • When seeking an extensive guide with practical implementation for setting up LLM and RAG systems using industry best practices.
  • If you need to understand both the design choices and technical setup involved in deploying such systems on platforms like AWS.

Avoid when

  • Avoid if you're looking for cost-free development, as it requires use of paid APIs from services like OpenAI and AWS.
  • Not suitable if your primary goal is to learn theory only, as this repository emphasizes hands-on lessons over in-depth theoretical explanations.

💰 Cost structure

All tools used throughout the course will stick to their free tier, except:

  • OpenAI's API, which will cost ~$1
  • AWS for fine-tuning and inference, which will cost < $10 depending on how much you play around with our scripts and your region.

🚀 Install & Usage

To understand how to install and run the LLM Twin code end-to-end, go to the INSTALL_AND_USAGE dedicated document.

[!NOTE] Even though you can run everything solely using the INSTALL_AND_USAGE dedicated document, we recommend that you read the articles to understand the LLM Twin system and design choices fully.
