Mastering LLMs: Training, Fine-Tuning, and Best Practices

23 August 2025 | 09:30AM - 05:30PM

About the workshop

This workshop is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of LLMs, right from foundational NLP concepts to the latest in this domain. This workshop is aimed at working professionals but covers the required details to help beginners get started. You will gain valuable insights and hands-on experience to learn & adapt concepts to your professional lives.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand the fundamentals of Language Models and Transformer architectures.
  • Gain hands-on experience with LLMs and related concepts such as PEFT, Prompt Engineering, RAGs,  LLM frameworks like DSPY.
  • Explore advanced topics such as Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and tool-calling through MCP

*Note: These are tentative details and are subject to change.

Modules

In this module, we will build an understanding of basic concepts such as text representation, NLP tasks such as classification, QA and language modeling

This module's focus is the transformer architecture that not only disrupted the NLP space but also computer vision and more. We will cover multi-stage training steps like pre-training and fine-tuning through models like BERT and GPT2

In this module, we will cover the impact of scale on the training process along with advanced techniques like PEFT, LoRA and RLHF through hands-on examples

This module covers real-world aspects of LLMs in production. Right from developing better prompts to developing RAGs and looking at frameworks like DSPy.

In this module, we will cover the latest frontiers like tool calling through MCP, agentic capabilities and what lies ahead of us.

  • Basics/hands-on experience of working with python
  • Basic understanding of Deep Neural Networks (pytorch preferrably)
  • Access to google-colab or similar python environment with GPU access
*Note: These are tentative details and are subject to change.
