AWS-GENAI-LABS
Developing Generative AI Applications on AWS with Hands-On Labs Training
This GenAI 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.
This course includes hands-on labs to reinforce the concepts taught in the training. We also offer the 2-day version of this course without labs.
