What you'll learn

Deploying open-source large language models (LLMs) can unlock powerful opportunities, but many practitioners struggle with choosing the right strategy, setting up the technical environment, and optimizing for production.

In this course, Deploying Open-source LLMs, you’ll learn the skills to confidently take an open-source LLM from selection to deployment.

First, you’ll explore how to match deployment strategies to organizational needs such as latency, privacy, and budget, and practice setting up serving frameworks.

Next, you’ll learn how to configure the technical environment for efficiency, including understanding hardware requirements, applying model quantization, and right-sizing infrastructure.

Finally, you’ll discover how to optimize and monitor LLM deployments for production by applying cost-saving techniques, implementing rollback procedures, and securing endpoints.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the knowledge and hands-on experience to deploy open-source LLMs in environments that balance performance, cost, and security.
