Description
A warm welcome to LLM Engineering: Build Production-Ready AI Systems course by Uplatz.
Large Language Models (LLMs) are the AI systems behind tools like ChatGPT-models trained on massive amounts of text so they can understand instructions, generate content, reason over context, and call tools to complete tasks. But building real, reliable, production-grade LLM applications requires much more than "just prompting."
That's where the modern LLM engineering stack comes in
• Prompting & Prompt Engineering: Designing instructions (system + user prompts) so the model behaves consistently, safely, and predictably.
• RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation): A technique that lets an LLM use your own documents/data (PDFs, knowledge bases, product docs, policies) by retrieving relevant context at runtime-dramatically reducing hallucinations and keeping answers grounded.
• LangChain: A powerful framework to build LLM applications using modular building blocks-prompts, chains, tools, agents, memory, retrievers, output parsers, and integrations.
• LangGraph: A framework for building stateful, multi-step, agentic workflows as graphs-ideal for multi-agent systems, conditional routing, retries, loops, long-running flows, and robust orchestration.
• LangSmith: An observability + evaluation platform that helps you trace LLM calls, debug prompt/chain failures, measure quality, run evaluations, and monitor performance as you iterate toward production.
In this course, you will learn the complete end-to-end skillset of LLM Engineering-from foundations and prompting to RAG, agents, observability, security, testing, optimization, and production deployment.
What you'll build in this course
This is a hands-on, engineering-focused course where you'll progressively build the core pieces of modern LLM systems, including
• Prompting systems that are structured, reliable, and scalable
• RAG pipelines that connect LLMs to real documents and private knowledge
• Agentic workflows using LangGraph with routing, retries, and state
• Observable and testable LLM applications with LangSmith traces + evaluations
• Multimodal applications (text + vision/audio/tool use patterns)
• Production patterns for performance, cost control, and reliability
• A complete capstone LLM system built end-to-end
Why this course is different
Most LLM content online stops at basic prompting or a few small demos. This course is designed to take you from "I can call an LLM" to "I can engineer a production-grade LLM system."
You will learn
• How to design LLM applications like real software systems
• How to measure quality (not just "it seems good")
• How to add guardrails, safety, and governance
• How to optimize for latency and cost
• How to make applications maintainable as they grow
What you'll learn
By the end of this course, you will be able to
• Understand how LLMs work (tokens, context windows, inference, limitations)
• Master prompting patterns used in real LLM products
• Build modular pipelines using LangChain (prompts, chains, tools, agents)
• Implement production-grade RAG (chunking, embeddings, retrieval, reranking concepts)
• Build stateful and agentic workflows with LangGraph (graphs, nodes, state, routing)
• Trace, debug, evaluate, and monitor apps using LangSmith (quality + performance)
• Apply multimodal patterns (text + image/audio/tool workflows)
• Engineer production systems: scaling, cost optimization, caching, reliability patterns
• Apply security, safety, and governance practices (prompt injection, data leakage, guardrails)
• Test, benchmark, and optimize LLM pipelines for quality, latency, and cost
• Deliver an end-to-end capstone project you can showcase in your portfolio
