Pre-trained Large Language Models like ChatGPT offer impressive capabilities but they cannot be used in scenarios where the underlying data is proprietary and requires industry-specific knowledge. Businesses are rushing to build custom LLM applications that offer enhanced performance, control, customization and most importantly, competitive advantage.
This bootcamp offers a comprehensive introduction to get started with building a ChatGPT on your own data. By the end of the bootcamp, you will be capable of building LLM-powered applications on any dataset of your choice.

This module covers how to scale and automate LLM applications using ZenML. ZenML streamlines data versioning, caching, deployment, and collaboration for efficient LLM app development.
On the last day of the bootcamp, the learners will apply the concepts and techniques learned during the bootcamp to build an LLM application. Learners will choose to implement one of the following:
Attendees will receive the following: At the end of the bootcamp, you'll leave with a fully functional LLM application deployed in either Streamlit or Hugging Face cloud. Showcase your achievements and leverage the power of AI to transform your industry, gaining a competitive edge and staying ahead of the curve.
Yes.
You will leave the bootcamp with your own fully functional LLM application.
Yes, you can find out more here.
Data Science Dojo has conducted bootcamps in various cities in the past and plans to continue expanding to other locations. They are also exploring options for online bootcamps.
Yes, you will need to bring your laptop. As for software installation, we use browser-based coding labs. You will not need to install any software on your laptop.
Yes, you can fine-tune the LLM model on your own custom data sources. The bootcamp will provide guidance on how to add custom data sources and fine-tune the model to answer specific questions related to those sources. However, please make sure to get the dataset reviewed before the bootcamp starts to avoid any last-minute inconveniences.
Yes, participants who successfully complete the bootcamp will receive a certificate of completion. This certificate can be a valuable addition to your professional portfolio and demonstrate your expertise in building large language model applications.
Yes, the participants will have access to the learning platform for 12 months after the bootcamp ends.
Yes, Data Science Dojo provides ongoing support and guidance to bootcamp participants even after the program ends. This includes access to a community of fellow participants and instructors who can help answer questions and provide further assistance.
