How far has generative model tuning come? - Langcon 2024

Packed with LLM Fine-Tuning Know-how, learned from Silicon Valley LLM Project Practitioners.

[The 2nd edition is scheduled for completion in 2026] You can develop your programming skills while exploring the fundamental principles of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Claude in depth. You can learn a variety of information and development techniques that are often difficult to come by.

🧩 Rather than focusing on complex formulas or theory-centric explanations, the goal is to learn the core concepts of recommendation systems by directly implementing programs. 🛠️ Through a total of 12 diverse and practical examples, we have progressively designed recommendation systems that can be utilized in real-world environments, including content-based recommendation, collaborative filtering, and deep learning recommendation.

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) from theory to the latest multimodal and agent-based RAG! This is a hands-on lecture designed to be understandable even for non-majors. From paper reviews to practical code implementation, it's designed so that even those encountering RAG for the first time can easily follow along.

The era of AI simply providing answers is over. Now is the age of LLM Agents that make decisions and take actions on their own. This course is an introductory lecture where you learn the core principles and structure of agents by implementing them yourself in just 90 minutes of hands-on practice. With minimal complex theory and a code-focused practical flow, you can directly experience "how AI makes decisions and uses tools." Beyond prompt engineering, let's take the first step into AI automation together.

You use ChatGPT, but haven't you found it difficult to explain why it gives certain answers? "I know terms like RAG, Agents, and Fine-tuning... but it's hard to explain them accurately." "I get tongue-tied whenever I hear LLM-related terminology." "Conceptual explanations are always vague during AI meetings." This course was created specifically for people like you. This is a theoretical course designed to help you understand LLMs not just as a 'tool,' but as a 'structure.' It doesn't teach you how to use ChatGPT or Gemini; instead, it establishes the foundation so you can explain exactly why they work the way they do.

This course covers the entire process of evolving ChatGPT from a simple conversational AI into an intelligent AI Agent that performs real-world tasks. By utilizing the three core frameworks—LangChain, LangGraph, and LangSmith—you will build AI Agents that can be used immediately in practice.

This is a lecture covering LLM theory and practical examples based on <Large Language Models, Just the Essentials!> (Insight, 2025).
