Course Description
This course introduces learners to generative AI and how to implement common AI use cases using Snowflake. The course starts with an introduction to important concepts, the setup of the learner environment, and the building of a simple application. It’s followed by learning how to use Snowflake Cortex AI functions to accomplish many common AI tasks, from prompting and summarization to embeddings and image inputs, and ends with learning how to fine-tune foundation models to perform specific tasks. This course is for anyone looking to skill up on AI, but is particularly suited for data scientists, ML/AI engineers, and data analytics professionals. To be successful in this course, you should have a background in Python, GenAI, and LLMs.

Snowflake Cortex's LLM-Based Functions
Explore Snowflake Cortex AI functions for common AI tasks. You'll prompt models with AI_COMPLETE, use task-specific and helper functions, try newer functions for filtering, aggregating, redacting, embeddings, and image inputs, and bring it together in a Streamlit app.
