Course overview
Get competent and conversant in all major modalities and become an AI Engineer
In a focused 3 week span, engineers in this course will learn to create and deploy AI-powered applications from scratch.
It's a hands-on journey that will take you from mastering OpenAI API basics to creating intricate Prompt Tooling systems.
Week by week, you'll enhance your skills, starting with learning to effectively use Retrieval Augmented Generation for dynamic AI interactions. With each module, you'll tackle Code Generation with GPT-4, delve into Image Generation with tools like Dall-E, and implement Speech-to-Text functionalities with Whisper.
But we don't stop at creation; you'll also gain expertise in running open source models, ensuring your applications are fine-tuned to your needs. The culmination of your learning will be the construction of your own AI Agent, encapsulating all the technologies and skills you've absorbed.
These are all of the technologies we are seeing as requirements in the marketplace to land a job as an AI engineer — so If you're a software engineer looking to pivot into AI — this is for you.
