I want to know the differences between print_llm_response and get_llm_response. To me both looks same hence it’s confusing me. Regards, Ravi Verma

Hi @adminravi , Both the functions are 99% the same. The only difference is, as the name implies print_llm_response, prints the response of the llm. get_llm_response returns you the response in a variable and you then can print that variable. The reason for these two functions to be separate is ba…

Thank you so much. So if I need the response for further processing, I will use get_llm_response and store it in some variable. And if I just need to display the response, I will use print_llm_response.

This is great. My personal opinion is that apart from using the inbuilt helper_functions. If this course would have taught us how to use frameworks like LangChain, it would have been even more interesting.

We have other short courses for this if you are interested. Feel free to explore our short course catalog .

After completing this course, which course do you suggest I should take. I want to work in the data science field and presently undergoing the Great Andrew NG’s course 2 on machine learning (advanced algorithms neural networks) also undergoing your courses on linear algebra, calculus and probability…

Hi again, I want to experiment more with the helper_function on my computer. From where can I download the helper_function? Moreover, downloading the helper_functions file into my working directory will make my jupyter notebook codes work like it does in your jupyter notebook terminal? Kindly guide. …

Hi @adminravi , I should add that I’m not the best person to ask this from. Maybe take the Deep Learning specialisation after completing the courses you are taken, after which you’ll be quite familiar this field and can then make an easy transition to becoming a data scientist.

Hi @adminravi , Yes and no. Yes, the code will be the same, and after you set up your local environment, the code should behave the same. No, for get llm function and print llm function, you’d need to use your own Open AI API key when running the labs locally. If you are downloading the helper fi…

Does anyone know if it is possible to download the helper_functions so we can write programs locally?
