Generative AI: Fine-Tuning LLMs and Diffusion Models

"Master Generative AI with hands-on training in Large Language Models (LLMs), PEFT techniques (LoRA, QLoRA), and Diffusion Models using Hugging Face, diffusers, peft, trl, and bitsandbytes. This course takes you from the internals of decoder-only transformers to building a specialist fine-tuned LLM and generating high-quality, controllable images with ControlNet. In Module 1, explore decoder-only transformer architectures, self-attention, causal masking, KV caching, and token flow mechanics. Module 2 focuses on Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT), where you'll implement LoRA, QLoRA, and 4-bit quantization to fine-tune large models on consumer GPUs using SFT pipelines. Module 3 dives into diffusion models, covering forward/reverse processes, UNet, schedulers (DDIM, Euler, DPM++), and ControlNet conditioning. Module 4 is a capstone where you'll build a Specialist LLM — from dataset creation to adapter export and evaluation. By the end of this course, you will: - Build and optimize decoder-only transformer pipelines with KV caching - Fine-tune 7B+ LLMs using LoRA, QLoRA, and SFT pipelines on limited hardware - Configure diffusers pipelines with ControlNet for controllable image generation - Train, export, and evaluate a domain-specialized LLM adapter end-to-end" Disclaimer: This is an independent educational resource created by Board Infinity for informational and educational purposes only.
