Mastering Large Language Models with the Cohere API

This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course Mastering Large Language Models with the Cohere API. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.

Course Description

The AI world keeps shifting, as developers and data scientists figure out new and better ways to create large language models (LLMs) that answer requests efficiently and effectively. Cohere gives developers access to a powerful suite of LLMs and three models–Command, Rerank, and Embed–that will let you build powerful search, summary, and conversational systems. In this course, learn about the Cohere API, and how to integrate it with retrieval-augmented generation approaches that allow you to build powerful AI applications.

See the readme file in the main branch for updated instructions and information.

Instructions

This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.

Branches

The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named 02_03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter. Some branches will have a beginning and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.

When switching from one exercise files branch to the next after making changes to the files, you may get a message like this:
