AWS-GENAI-APP

Developing Generative AI Applications on AWS Training

This course introduces generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) to software developers interested in using large language models (LLMs) without fine-tuning. After an overview of AI, attendees learn how to plan an AI project, work with Amazon Bedrock, and apply prompt engineering best practices.  In addition, students understand the architecture patterns used to build AI applications with Amazon Bedrock and LangChain.

We also offer a 3-day version of this course with an extra day for hands-on labs.
