Working with Large Language Models

Generative AI is a form of AI, well known generative AI applications include Gemini, Bedrock, and Dall-E. These applications are known as a Large Language Model (LLMs). LLMs are not databases of knowledge, but advanced text engines. Prompt Engineering is the process of adjusting LLM input to improve performance and accuracy.

On this page, you will find access to free courses to explain what Large Language Models are and what prompt engineering involves, understand how prompt engineering can help you manage some of the limitations of GenAI technologies, and identify how to craft effective prompts that improve the accuracy and usefulness of GenAI tools.
