Prompt Engineering Databricks Ai Playground Llm Prototyping

What you'll learn

---

Engineer deterministic, production-ready prompts using Zero-Shot and Chain-of-Thought frameworks to eliminate LLM hallucinations.
Securely ground your Generative AI models in proprietary enterprise datasets using Databricks Unity Catalog and RAG pipelines.
Master the Databricks AI Playground to tune model inference parameters and actively monitor and attribute token billing costs.
Transition tested AI prototypes into live, scalable Databricks Model Serving REST API endpoints for enterprise applications.
Requirements

---

Basic understanding of Python programming and general database concepts (e.g., querying tables).
Access to a Databricks environment (a standard free trial or Databricks Community Edition account is completely sufficient).
No prior experience with building Large Language Models (LLMs) or complex AI orchestration agents is required; we cover the enterprise fundamentals from scratch.
Description

---

"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."Turn Databricks AI Playground experiments into evaluated GenAI prototypes you can defend and productionize.Getting an LLM to return one impressive answer is easy. Building a prompt that remains useful against changing inputs, enterprise data, quality requirements, and production constraints is a different problem.This practical course gives you a repeatable workflow for designing prompts in Databricks AI Playground, evaluating outputs systematically, comparing models and parameters, connecting prototype decisions to governed data workflows, understanding usage and cost considerations, and preparing the winning experiment for production integration.Who this course is for

:Access to a Databricks workspace with the required AI/serving capabilities enabled by your administrator.Access to at least one suitable model or serving endpoint.Basic familiarity with Databricks.Basic Python or SQL is useful for production exercises but is not required for the core prompt-engineering lessons.Use synthetic course data unless you are authorized to process organizational data.Final project:You will build an enterprise support intelligence prototype in Databricks AI Playground. You will compare at least three prompt/model configurations against a minimum 10-case evaluation set, score them against five criteria, incorporate grounded business context, document generation and usage/cost assumptions, select a winner, and produce a production handoff package.
Data Analysts and Junior Data Scientists who need to transition from testing basic AI chat prompts to deploying secure, enterprise-grade LLM applications.
