Foundations and Frontiers of Large Language Models

AMS 691.01 is a graduate seminar on large language models — covering foundations, state-of-the-art research, and societal implications. Students engage with cutting-edge papers on topics including model architectures, scaling laws, retrieval-augmented generation, reasoning, and agentic systems.

This showcase features the Applied Software Project, where students design and build functional applications leveraging LLM-based tools. Each project is an independent exploration of how LLMs can solve real-world problems.
