A brief product tour disguised as a technical module. Useful as a clickable index to Databricks features, but not for learning how to use them.

Who should skip it
Anyone looking for hands-on practice or deep technical understanding.
Pros
Quick overview of Databricks-specific LLM tooling.
Points to the relevant functions like AI_QUERY.
Free and short, low time investment.
Cons
Exercise is a fill-in-the-blanks reading comprehension test.
Shallow on the 'how' and 'why' of LLMs.
Doesn't use a real Databricks workspace.
Most content is conceptual, not practical.
Dragging and dropping component names like 'Prompt' and 'Inference' into boxes isn't an exercise. You don't write any code or touch a real Databricks environment. It’s a reading comprehension quiz on the preceding text, which itself is a generic overview of what generative AI is. I had hoped for a module that at least demonstrated setting up a foundation model endpoint or running a simple AI_QUERY call in a sandbox. Instead, it just lists the features. The content feels current enough—it mentions the right terminology—but the execution is all tell, no show. I suppose it works as a directory of what’s possible inside Databricks, a kind of interactive feature list. But calling it an 'exercise' is a stretch.
