This 12-week course, created by experts from academia and industry, is designed specifically for developers and engineers. You’ll have a chance to get guidance from experienced pros, join regular Q&A sessions to stay on track, and connect with peers along the way. Materials for each topic can be found in the ./topic* folders. See README.md for further details and instructions. Any technical issues, ideas, bugs in course materials, contribution ideas - add an issue. ## 📖 Course roadmap Study advanced concepts and apply your new knowledge right away. Join live sessions to connect with peers and course experts, reinforcing your learning. ### [Topic 1️⃣ LLM API Basics](https://github.com/Nebius-Academy/LLM-Engineering-Essentials/tree/main/topic1) Basics of LLM and Multimodal LLM API usage and prompt strategies, typical problems arising with LLMs, creativity-vs-reproducibility control. **Project**: Creating a chatbot and deploying it in a cloud. ### [Topic 2️⃣ LLM Workflows](https://github.com/Nebius-Academy/LLM-Engineering-Essentials/tree/main/topic2) LLM Workflows and beyond: from Chaining to AI Agents. LLM Reasoning. **Project**: Planning and memory summarization; Automating evaluation. ### [Topic 3️⃣ Context](https://github.com/Nebius-Academy/LLM-Engineering-Essentials/tree/main/topic3) RAG and its technicalities; vector stores, databases in production. RAG evaluation. **Project**: Adding RAG to the NPC Factory service. ### [Topic 4️⃣ Self-Deployed LLMs](https://github.com/Nebius-Academy/LLM-Engineering-Essentials/tree/main/topic4) Working with open source LLMs and practical LLM inference in production. Computational and memory bottlenecks of LLM inference. **Project**: Deploying a chat service based on a self-served LLM. Serving text encoders and rerankers. Making a cost-to-value choice between API and self-served LLMs. ### [Topic 5️⃣ Optimization and Monitoring](https://github.com/Nebius-Academy/LLM-Engineering-Essentials/tree/main/topic5) Optimizing LLM inference, quantization and beyond. Production monitoring and observability. **Project**: Optimizing open source LLM inference. Establishing monitoring with Evidently AI, Prometeus and Grafana. ### [Topic 6️⃣ Fine-Tuning](https://github.com/Nebius-Academy/LLM-Engineering-Essentials/tree/main/topic6) Fine-tuning of LLMs and embeddings. Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning and LoRA. RLHF and DPO **Project**: Making your characters even more alive through fine-tuning ## 🏗️ NPC Factory Project During the course, you'll build a platform that serves intelligent, believable, reactive, and autonomous NPCs — non-player characters at the heart of immersive games, driving engaging interactions and making worlds feel rich and dynamic. - Deploy models on real servers and integrate them into game environments. - Implement agentic capabilities, enabling NPCs to set goals and adapt dynamically. - Build scalable APIs to support complex game interactions. - Optimize performance, monitor behavior, and fine-tune models for smooth, responsive gameplay. ## 💬 Join the community Connect with experts, engage in discussions, ask questions, and share insights, experiences, and feedback with fellow learners [on Discord](https://discord.com/invite/WJ2DUQRz4m). Stay in the loop — live session announcements will be posted there, too!
