Decision brief
A guide for beginners interested in learning foundational aspects of generative AI through practical lessons, covering topics like language models, transformers, and prompt engineering.
Good fit when
- You need a beginner-friendly curriculum to understand basics of generative AI using modern tools like transformers.
- Looking to start building simple projects with chatbots or text generators without complex setup.
Avoid when
- Seeking advanced training or deep-dive into the mathematical foundations behind generative models.
- Require tools that support real-time deployment of generative AI systems in production environments.
