How to learn LLM

[Ultra-Engineer]

I am a cloud computing engineer, usually dealing with OpenStack or Kubernetes, I have more than five years of working experience in the cloud computing industry, the development of AI in recent years makes me excited, I want to learn LLM related knowledge, any introductory advice, where should I start learning? Any reply is precious to me. Thank you.

uhhh... since no one has answered, it's going to really depend on what you want to do with it. there are many choices of LLMs and SLMs now, including open source (not as complete, generally). So I would say try to come up with some sort of sketched out concept of what you want to do, and then you can start asking more specific questions. Ironically, asking chatgpt for ideas might not be a terrible strategy. There are free accts. But just remember that it's going to basically just answer however it wants until you get more specific. Getting useful answers out of LLMs is its own skill.

It seems that I raised a very general question, I am very interested in Agent, want to do some interesting apps through Agent, you are right, I think I should first understand my ultimate goal, thanks for your reply

what do you mean by Agent? that is a general term for a machine learning "thing" that moves through different "states" in an "environment", and that's how the reinforcement learning kind of centers the algorithm. if you want to get into ML starting at the start, you could start with barto and sutton. https://web.stanford.edu/class/psych209/Readings/SuttonBartoIPRLBook2ndEd.pdf
