AI Foundation for Developers – LLM & GEN AI Step-By-Step | Spring AI Prerequisites

If you’re a developer — Java, Python, C#, or any language — and want to start building AI-powered applications, this video is your complete foundation.

In this session, I will explain everything you need to know before integrating AI into your application using Spring AI or OpenAI APIs.

By the end of this video, you’ll clearly understand what Generative AI (Gen AI), LLMs, GPT, Tokens, Transformers, and Roles actually mean — so you can follow the upcoming coding tutorials confidently.

What You’ll Learn?

0️⃣ What is Generative AI – and how it can generate text, images, audio, or even code.
1️⃣ Difference between LLM (Large Language Model) and Diffusion Model (for images/videos).
2️⃣ What is GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer).
3️⃣ How Transformers predict the next word using “Attention Is All You Need.”
4️⃣ How AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude work internally.
5️⃣ What are Tokens and why you get billed per token when using OpenAI APIs.
6️⃣ How to connect to OpenAI endpoints using Postman and authenticate via API Keys.
7️⃣ Understanding Chat Completion API → v1/chat/completions.
8️⃣ The concept of Messages[ System, User, and Assistant ] roles in ChatGPT requests.
9️⃣ Model comparison: GPT-5 Nano, Mini, Pro, their pricing, speed & reasoning ability.
🔟 What is a Context Window, Knowledge Cut-off, and Reasoning Token Support.
