# LLM, RAG and AI agent development tutorial
This repository contains [Syllabus](https://github.com/mac999/LLM-RAG-Agent-Tutorial/blob/main/1-1.prepare/syllabus-llm-rag-agent.docx) for LLM(large language model), RAG(retrieval augmented generation), AI Agent and MCP(Model Context Protocol) class focusing on creative AI agent development, modeling, and computing as the viewpoint of usecase. This repository was developed for AI application practitioners and developers. The colab code, source, presentation and reference with AI tools like below can be used for developing LLM, RAG and AI Agent. If you want to know the LLM, RAG and AI Agent with MCP subjects and materials, refer to the below link.
