# 🤖 Generative AI

> Ship real Gen AI projects on Launchpad by learning generative AI foundations, building REST APIs with Flask, and creating LLM applications.

The Gen AI track on Launchpad is for students who want to go beyond calling an LLM API and actually design, build, and expose full generative AI applications. You will learn the core ideas behind modern generative models, wrap them in production-style APIs, and stitch everything into working LLM apps you can demo.

## Generative AI

Understand what generative models are, how they differ from classical ML, and the vocabulary you need to reason about prompts, context, and evaluation.

* Foundations of generative AI
* Practical patterns for working with LLMs
* Applied intuition for building on top of pre-trained models

## Building REST APIs with Flask

Turn your models and logic into services other apps can call:

* Structure a Flask application for real workloads
* Design clean REST endpoints
* Handle requests, responses, and errors the way production services do

## Building LLM Applications

Bring the two halves together and ship complete Gen AI apps:

* Compose LLMs with your own data and tools
* Wire an LLM-powered backend to a usable frontend
* Package a project you can show off in interviews and on your resume

<Info>
  Gen AI projects are a strong differentiator in placement interviews. Combine this track with the Full Stack track to ship a full product, not just a prototype.
