What students say

"The agents course rewired how I think about production LLM systems. The evaluation module alone was worth 10x the price."
Priya Ramanathan
Senior ML Engineer, fintech unicorn
"Every other course teaches you to prompt. This one teaches you to ship. My team's RAG pipeline went from prototype to production in three weeks."
Daniel Alvarez
Staff Engineer, healthtech
"Finally a curriculum that treats AI like software engineering. Observability, evals, cost — the whole stack."
Yuki Tanaka
Founding Engineer, YC S24
