Large Language Model Operations (LLMOps)

The unglamorous, essential side of LLMs

Everyone talks about building with large language models; far fewer talk about running them reliably in production. Duke University's LLMOps course fills that gap, focusing on deploying, managing, and optimizing LLMs once they leave the notebook.

Who it's for

A good fit for anyone moving from experimenting with LLMs toward being responsible for them in a real system — engineers, technical leads, or anyone whose team ships LLM-powered products and needs someone who understands the operational side.

Why grab it: LLMOps is a genuinely underserved niche compared to the sheer volume of "how to prompt" content out there, and it's exactly the skill gap that separates a demo from a production system. A free, university-backed course on the topic is a rare find for anyone serious about the engineering side of generative AI.
