What you’ll learn

  • Learn machine learning foundations, how large language models (LLMs) work, and how to prompt, fine-tune, and build applications with them.

  • Ground LLMs in real data using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, and reliable data pipelines.

  • Build multi-agent systems using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, and AutoGen.

  • Evaluate LLM and agent quality with rigorous testing, tracing, and observability.

  • Deploy, monitor, and operate production GenAI systems using MLOps and LLMOps practices.
