Google's Introduction to Generative AI is a free, short course on Google Cloud's learning platform covering what generative AI is, how large language models work, and practical applications. The course is 30-45 minutes of video plus interactive labs. After finishing, you understand generative AI fundamentals and Google Cloud's AI tools. The course is broad, not deep. The main limitation: this is a survey course. For hands-on skills, pair it with Google's more advanced courses or Anthropic's/OpenAI's prompt engineering courses.

Hugging Face LLM Course
Learn to build and deploy with transformers and large language models in this 12-chapter course from Hugging Face. You'll start with NLP fundamentals, then move into modern LLM techniques: tokenization, fine-tuning, reasoning models, and building shareable demos. By the end, you'll know how to use pre-trained models, customize them on your own data, and integrate them into real applications. Best if you have some Python experience; the course assumes basic familiarity with machine learning. Fair warning: LLM chapters move fast, so budget time for rereading.
