Opleiding: Course Open Source AI
The course Open Source AI dives into the power of open-source LLMs like DeepSeek, Mistral, and LLaMA.Overview of Open LLMs
This module explores popular open-source models like DeepSeek, Mistral, and LLaMA. It compares architectures, discusses model hubs like Hugging Face, performance, token usage, pricing, and responsible deployment practices.
Getting Started with DeepSeek
Participants learn how to install and configure DeepSeek, use multilingual features, and apply basic prompting. The module also covers integration, model compression, performance tips, and deployment options for developers.
Prompting and Tooling
Explore prompting techniques including zero-shot, few-shot, chaining, and function calling. Learn about LangChain, RAG pipelines, custom memory, vector stores, and managing chat history and agent flows efficiently.
Fine-Tuning Open Models
This module focuses on fine-tuning workflows using datasets, LoRA, and PEFT. You'll explore training via Colab or AWS, testing outputs, evaluating prompts, embeddings, and enabling models to evolve through continuous learning.
Deployment and Scaling
Participants learn how to deploy models using FastAPI, Streamlit, and Docker. It also covers optimization, edge/cloud strategies, local setups, performance monitoring, version control, and cost-aware deployment planning.
Case Studies
See real-world applications like legal summarizers, healthcare chatbots, and multilingual generators. Other cases include AI CRMs, educational bots, retrieval tools, and open-source copilots with embedded memory.
