A DataCamp course that turns LLM theory into working code. Across about three hours of interactive exercises you identify transformer architectures, use pre-trained models and datasets from Hugging Face, and fine-tune models. Hands-on and practical for people who can already code Python and want to work with LLMs directly.
Good for: Getting hands-on with LLMs in Python via Hugging Face.
Less suitable if: You cannot code Python or want a no-code conceptual course.

About this course
Introduction to LLMs in Python turns LLM theory into working code. Across about three hours of interactive exercises you identify different transformer architectures, use pre-trained models and datasets from Hugging Face, and fine-tune and evaluate models for tasks like translation and text generation.
What you'll learn
Identify transformer architectures
Use pre-trained models from Hugging Face
Build pipelines for language tasks
Fine-tune an LLM on your data
Evaluate model performance
Apply LLMs to translation and generation

What it costs
DataCamp runs on a subscription — roughly $14/month billed annually (more month-to-month), with the first chapter of each course free to try. A certificate of completion is included with the subscription. Fine-tuning larger models can require paid GPU compute, separate from DataCamp.
