Audience: Developers, data scientists, team leads, project managers

Duration: 3 days (split into intro & advanced parts if desired)

Format: Lectures and hands‑on labs (50% – 50%)

Overview

Generative AI with Large Language Models (LLM) opens ways to building smart applications as never before. The most popular architecture for that is Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) built with semantic search. In this course, students learn how to build RAG systems using VectorDB (DataStax) and various LLMs such as ChatGPT or local LLaMA.

Objective

Design and implement production‑ready RAG systems combining Vector databases with LLMs.

What You Will Learn

  • Prompt Engineering (intro, iterative development, summarising, inferring, transforming, expanding, chatbots)
