This is the eagerly awaited hackathon-style, coding-centered BootCamp centered around real-world, exciting projects. The goal is to make you profoundly confident and fluent in applying LLMs to solve an extensive range of real-world problems in vector embeddings, semantic AI search, retrieval-augment generation, multi-modal learning, video comprehension, adversarial attacks, computer vision, audio-processing, natural language processing, tabular data, anomaly and fraud detection, healthcare applications, and clever techniques of prompt engineering.

You will work in teams of 4-6 engineers in an environment that closely reproduces the innovation and development that is the quintessence of the Silicon Valley spirit. Each team will get a meeting room with a state-of-the-art multimedia setup and a powerful AI server with RTX4090 for exclusive use during the boot camp. These will also be accessible remotely so that the teams can continue to work on them during the workdays.

You will also have unrestricted access to a massive 4-GPU AI server at the admin-privilege level for the three-month duration of this boot camp on a time-shared basis. Besides this, you will also benefit from the 10-gigabit networking and the large server cluster to take your projects to actual production. SupportVectors will let you use the compute resources for an additional four weeks if you need to finish any remaining aspects of your projects.

A dedicated team of experienced teaching faculty with deep industry and AI experience on large-scale projects will guide you throughout the boot camp. The AI experts bring together deep academic backgrounds, educational excellence, and years of technical leadership roles in the industry.

Activities and components of the boot-camp

• An extensive compilation of guided exercises and labs with Jupyter notebooks
• Lecture sessions with clear explanations of the topics involved
• Real-world group projects that aim to be starters for a potential startup, either outside or within your current company/place of work
• Quizzes and assessments for self-evaluation of progress
• “Cambrian Explosion” series — a collective approach to discuss the latest breakthroughs and happenings in LLM
• Project demonstrations and cohort feedback
• Research paper readings with lucid explanations bring out the main ideas and relevance.
• A friendly competition between the teams and sharing of best practices
• A reasonably extensive starter code-base to guide your progress and development
• A faculty of highly experienced and technical instructors, teaching assistants, and lab assistants providing help around the clock as needed
• For those seeking jobs, mock interview practice, guidance with resumes, and job placement help

SupportVectors Creative Studio will help you create professional videos explaining your projects and provide creative writing help in deriving detailed technical articles around your projects.

Breakfast and lunch are provided during the boot camp. The break room is stocked with snacks, fruits, beverages, and gourmet coffee.
