Easily a five star course. You will get a combination of overview of advanced topics and in depth explanation of all necessary concepts. One of the best in this domain. Good work. Thank you teachers!

A very good course covering many different areas, from use cases, to the mathematical underpinnings and the societal impacts. And having the labs to actually get to play around with the algorithms.

I took this course because I like the ML Specification of Andrew Ng very much. For me, that was really the gold standard for MOOC. This LLM course was, unfortunately, a bit disappointing. The labs were underwhelming. To me, not really grading the labs looks like the lack of engagement on the part of the authors. I also had technical problems with the third lab -- I think, some issues with hard-coded versions of the packages -- and did not manage to run it at all! I also missed a forum to interact with fellow students and the instructors. I am still very thankful for this course, it is really hard to make one at this stage. I especially liked that authors went into technical details and provided links to the original papers. I see this course as a germ of a future cool GenAI specification. I am confident that the authors are capable of developing it further.

"Intermediate" level in the sense that you perhaps need some basic understanding of machine learning, but this is definitely not a course that challenges you. You get a very high level conceptual explanation of basic concepts (including things like LoRA, RLHF), but definitely no specifics on the implementation level. The assignment "Labs" consists of executing pre-written code in notebooks, and seeing the result output. No coding of your own, and typically just making function calls to Huggingface libraries, but not actually seeing how the algorithms are implemented.

Lots of theory with very little practice. You will not walk away from this course feeling confident that you know how to code any of it. The labs that are offered do not teach you much either. The instructors just tell you to not worry about how it works, and that it just works. The instructors need to add a whole lot more practice code to get you practicing the theory they teach. At this point, I am looking for where I can find that information because theory without practice is pointless.

The course material was all pretty superficial; the lectures never really delve into the nitty gritty details. The labs require no coding, which is disappointing. That being said, it's a good overview of the current landscape. If you want to learn implementation and the way things work (the how rather than the what), you will probably be disappointed.

While the course content and organization was great, I had issues in accessing the AWS labs (Week 2 and Week 3) where I couldn't execute the Python notebook steps after few steps and got stuck. When I tried to resume by restarting the terminal it said invalid authentication and could not complete the labs and had to do forceful submission.

The videos in the course were helpful, with the exception of the lab videos.
I found those simply regurgitated what was already in the lab notes.
The labs themselves were only partially helpful due to the high-level code being used.
I would have actually preferred to go a bit lower-level in implementing a few pieces.

I prefer assignments where I actually have to figure something out. Just running code is not an effective learning method. I paid for access to those "assignments" that offered nothing more than watching the video of the guy going through the assignments.

I think the course needs to have a better balance between the contents. For example, it spends tons of effort talking about different parameters in model inference, which is as simple as 1+1, but it touches very lightly regarding how transformer works.

The concepts thought were at very high level and the instructors were good in covering it all - however the downside is none of it is covered indepth due to which one may lose track of what exactly is being thought about .
