Application Development with LLMs on Google Cloud (GC-ADLGC)

In this course, you'll dive into the details of using Large Language Models (LLMs) in your applications. You'll start by exploring the core principles that underpin prompting LLMs. Next, you will focus on Google's latest family of models, Gemini.

You'll explore the various Gemini models and their multimodal capabilities. This includes a deep dive into effective prompt design and engineering within the Vertex AI Studio environment. Then, the course moves to application development frameworks and how to implement these concepts into your applications.
