Domain-specific LLM Agents

Overview

Optimizing data center operations requires intelligent automation, and domain-specific Large Language Model (LLM) agents offer a powerful solution. In this course, Developing Domain-Specific LLM Agents for Data Center Operations, you’ll learn how to design, build, and deploy AI-driven agents tailored for data center environments.

First, you’ll explore the fundamentals of domain-specific LLMs and how they enhance operational efficiency through tasks like predictive maintenance, resource optimization, and anomaly detection. Next, you’ll gain hands-on experience in curating and preprocessing datasets, fine-tuning LLMs, and implementing AI agents using frameworks such as LangChain, CrewAI, and AutoGen.

Finally, you’ll discover strategies for optimizing performance, deploying these agents across cloud and on-premises environments, and ensuring ethical AI practices related to data privacy, compliance, and bias mitigation. When you finish this course, you’ll have the practical skills to build and manage LLM agents in Python, enabling you to drive automation, efficiency, and innovation in data center operations.
