Key concepts covered in this certification include generative AI architectures and use cases, capabilities and limitations of large language models, prompt engineering, and prompt tuning. Additionally, it covers parameter-efficient fine-tuning using InstructLab, retrieval-augmented generation, and the development and deployment of generative AI solutions.
The certification is at the associate level, testing foundational skills in either a product or solution area. It presumes that candidates have six months to a year of hands-on experience with the product or solution. The certification process involves understanding the five capabilities of GenAI/LLMs, articulating components in Gen AI Patterns, and understanding the limitations of GenAI/LLMs.
Candidates are expected to identify Gen AI application opportunities, choose appropriate models for use cases, and articulate optimal model architectures. They should also be able to apply various tools and techniques like AI agents, RAG, and LangChain, and understand security risks associated with LLMs, prompt engineering, and data.
The certification also covers differentiating between zero-shot and few-shot prompting, designing prompts based on use cases, generating prompt templates, and determining the best model parameters for each GenAI prompt. It includes describing the benefits of using prompt variables, hyperparameter tuning, and model risks. Candidates should understand the difference between hard and soft prompts, reconstruct prompts to reduce costs, and plan for data elements for application usage.
