Any tips or ideas on choosing a final year project? I don't really have any ideas in mind other than implementing an LLM, not sure how applicable or good this is though, my major is computer engineering and i'm only interested in software dev

LLMs are all the hype but there are plenty of solid computer science projects. Some options that come to mind:

  1. Your own DB engine
  2. Your own game engine (you can put a cool twist on it - I had a thought of making a game in non-euclidean 3D space)
  3. Your own client/server Etc...

A more general option is to look for free APIs and use that is base for ideas.

What topics do you find interesting?

They aren't all hype. They are amazing technology.

A lot of the software built with them is completely just hype though.

I didn't say they are "all hype", I said they are "all the hype". I agree they are useful, but over hyped.
