8. We're thrilled to announce a new course on Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) built in collaboration with Google Cloud. 

    

   Large language models (LLMs) are trained on human-generated text, but additional methods are needed to align an LLM with human values and preferences. Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is a key method for aligning LLMs to make them more helpful, honest, and safe. 

   

   In this course, you will gain a conceptual understanding of the RLHF training process, and then practice applying RLHF to tune an LLM. You will: 

   • Explore the two datasets (“preference” and “prompt”) that are used in RLHF training.

   • Use the open source Google Cloud Pipeline Components Library to fine-tune the Llama 2 model with RLHF.

   • Assess the tuned LLM against the original base model by comparing loss curves and using the “Side-by-Side (SxS)” method.

   Join instructor Nikita Namjoshi, Developer Advocate for Generative AI at Google Cloud, to learn this exciting technique you can use in building your own applications.

9. If you want to guarantee an interview with a potential employer, you need to say THIS in your cover letter.

   Your cover letter is an introduction to your resume and YOU as a candidate. It’s also most likely the first impression you make on an employer, so you want to make sure you say the right thing. A cover letter is a place for you to show your interest in the position and to make a personal connection between yourself and why you’re a great fit for the opportunity.

   Your cover letter should make the employer want to learn more about you. The passion and interest you have for the company are important to convey, but if you really want to boost your chance at getting an interview there’s one thing you should include.

   The number one thing you must say in your cover letter is to ask for an interview.

   What? Yup, you have to ask for the interview yourself! It may seem blunt, but here’s how you can ask for it without feeling weird.
