2-Day Hands-On Bootcamp

LLM Engineering Bootcamp

September 6-7, 2026
Microsoft Student Club AOU

Deconstruct. Fine-Tune. Deploy. — A 2-Day Hands-On Bootcamp covering Architecture, SFT, RL, and vLLM.

What You Will Learn

Bootcamp Highlights

LLM Architecture

Understand transformer internals, attention mechanisms, and how modern LLMs are built from the ground up.

Supervised Fine-Tuning

Learn SFT techniques to adapt pre-trained models for domain-specific tasks with your own datasets.

Reinforcement Learning

Explore RL-based alignment with GRPO and how to steer model behavior post-training.

Production Deployment

Deploy and serve LLMs at scale using vLLM for high-throughput, low-latency inference.

Bootcamp Schedule

A 2-day intensive program taking you from LLM fundamentals to hands-on deployment.

Day 1 — Session 1

Intro to GenAI and LLMs

Overview of Generative AI landscape, key milestones, and an introduction to Large Language Models.

Day 1 — Session 2

How LLMs Work from the Inside

Deep dive into transformer architecture, tokenization, attention mechanisms, and training paradigms.

Day 1 — Practical

How to Load and Use LLMs

Hands-on lab: Loading pre-trained models, running inference, prompt engineering best practices.

Day 2 — Session 1

Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT)

Fine-tuning LLMs on custom datasets. LoRA, QLoRA, and efficient adaptation techniques.

Day 2 — Session 2

Running LLMs using vLLM

High-performance inference serving with vLLM. PagedAttention, continuous batching, and deployment patterns.

Day 2 — Session 3

RL and GRPO

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback, GRPO alignment, and steering model behavior.
