With the right tools and knowledge, every startup and developer can start building generative AI applications.
We are happy to announce two exciting updates to the “Generative AI for Beginners“ course that will help you access powerful AI models and learn how to effectively build with them.
New Version of GitHub Models Lessons Now Available
Leverage Github Models for:
- Free access to popular models for development purposes, including Llama 3.1, GPT-4o, Mistral Large and Phi 3.5.
- A built-in playground to test prompts and configure model parameters.
- Ability to leverage code sample – locally in your favorite IDE or with GitHub Codespaces – to try out different application scenarios, such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).
These features enable your startup to test and prototype your Generative AI ideas faster and more cheaply. It also allows you to move to production easily with Azure AI through the Azure AI Model Inference API.
