LLM Cheatsheet
Introduction to LLMs
- LLMs (Large Language Models) are AI systems that generate text by predicting the next word.
- Prompts are the instructions or text you give to an LLM.
- Personas allow LLMs to take on specific roles or tones.
- Learning types:
- Zero-shot (no examples given)
- One-shot (one example)
- Few-shot (a few examples)
Transformers
- The core architecture behind LLMs, using self-attention to process input sequences.
- Encoder: Understands input.
- Decoder: Generates output.
- Embeddings: Converts words into vectors.
Types of LLMs
- Encoder-only: Great for understanding (like BERT).
- Decoder-only: Best for generating text (like GPT).
- Encoder-decoder: Useful for tasks like translation and summarization (like T5).
Configuration Settings
- Decoding strategies:
- Greedy: Always picks the most likely next word.
- Beam search: Considers multiple possible sequences.
- Random sampling: Adds creativity by picking among top choices.
- Temperature: Controls randomness (higher value = more creative output).
- Top-k and Top-p: Restrict choices to the most likely words.
LLM Instruction Fine-Tuning & Evaluation
- Instruction fine-tuning: Trains LLMs to follow specific instructions.
- Task-specific fine-tuning: Focuses on a single task.
- Multi-task fine-tuning: Trains on multiple tasks for broader skills.
Model Evaluation
- Evaluating LLMs is hard-metrics like BLEU and ROUGE are common, but human judgment is often needed.

How do you start AI and ML ?
Where do you go to learn these skills? What courses are the best?
There’s no best answer🥺. Everyone’s path will be different. Some people learn better with books, others learn better through videos.
What’s more important than how you start is why you start.
Start with why.
Why do you want to learn these skills?
Do you want to make money?
Do you want to build things?
Do you want to make a difference?
Again, no right reason. All are valid in their own way.
Start with why because having a why is more important than how. Having a why means when it gets hard and it will get hard, you’ve got something to turn to. Something to remind you why you started.
Got a why? Good. Time for some hard skills.
I can only recommend what I’ve tried every week new course lauch better than others its difficult to recommend any course
You can completed courses from (in order):
Treehouse / youtube( free) - Introduction to Python
Udacity - Deep Learning & AI Nanodegree
fast.ai - Part 1and Part 2
They’re all world class. I’m a visual learner. I learn better seeing things being done/explained to me on. So all of these courses reflect that.
If you’re an absolute beginner, start with some introductory Python courses and when you’re a bit more confident, move into data science, machine learning and AI.
