Oracle Cloud Infrastructure AI Foundations Associate: The Capabilities and Evolution of LLMs

Large language models (LLMs) and transformers power today’s most advanced AI systems, enabling human-like language understanding and generation at scale. Their evolution into billion-parameter models has expanded capabilities to reasoning, summarization, translation, coding, and multimodal generative AI across text, images, audio, and video. In this course, examine the evolution of LLMs as part of AI and ML development and how transformers act as their building blocks. Next, explore the rapid growth of LLMs, their multimodal capabilities, and their remarkably fast progress. Finally, learn about the importance of prompt engineering as both a method to optimize generative AI outputs and an emerging professional skill set. This course is part of a series that prepares learners for the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2025 AI Foundations Associate (1Z0-1122-25) certification.
