Master AI. Build with confidence.
From LLMs and RAG to Claude Code, MCP servers, and production deployment. A structured curriculum for engineers, architects, and AI leaders.
How AI systems evolved
Three generations of AI architecture
Each generation builds on the last. Understanding all three is what separates engineers who use AI from engineers who build with it.
LLMs
Predict the next token
- Transformer architecture processes tokens in parallel, not sequentially like RNNs
- Trained on trillions of tokens. GPT-4, Claude Opus, Gemini, Llama, DeepSeek all share this foundation
- Stateless: no memory between conversations, no access to tools or live data
What you can build
Chatbots, code completion, text summarization, translation, content generation
RAG
Retrieve, then generate
- Embeds your documents into vectors, retrieves relevant chunks at query time, and feeds them as context
- Hybrid search (BM25 + semantic) with reranking solves the "wrong document" problem that trips up naive RAG
- Still reactive: waits for prompts. No planning, no tool use, no multi-step reasoning
What you can build
Knowledge bases, support bots with citations, document Q&A, enterprise search
Agentic AI
Plan, reason, act, learn
- Agents call tools, read files, run code, and make decisions across multi-step workflows autonomously
- MCP connects agents to any system. A2A lets agents collaborate. 97M monthly SDK downloads and growing
- Self-improving: Claude's Dreaming feature reviews past sessions to find patterns. Outcomes defines success rubrics so agents can score and retry their own work
What you can build
Autonomous coding, research agents, CI/CD pipelines, multi-agent orchestration
Predicting words→Retrieving facts→Achieving goals
This course covers all three. Most training stops at the first.
