Getting started implementing AI features
With the advancements of LLMs over the last few years, implementation is possible by any experienced web developer. And yes, Ruby on Rails is great for AI!
Join Chad as he explores working with large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. In these 4 sessions Chad will be live coding actual implementation in Ruby, including how to:
- Use LLMs like ChatGPT to answer questions from documentation
- Use 3rd party LLMs or host your own open source models
