AI 系统设计与架构决策

Language of instruction: Mandarin Chinese

面向工程师、技术型 PM 和 AI Builder 的 AI 系统设计课程。用真实 AI 产品案例,为你建立一套可迁移的架构心智模型:如何澄清需求、定义 LLM 目标、划分系统边界、设计 RAG / Agent / 多模态 / 推理架构,并在延迟、成本、质量、安全和可观测性之间做取舍。

Design AI Systems. Explain Your Decisions.

Learn AI system design through document Q&A, customer support agents, multimodal assistants, and AI coding tools.

Each case starts with product requirements and a simple architecture. We then work through the decisions that shape the system: how to provide context, choose between workflows and agents, estimate capacity and cost, evaluate quality, and recover from failures.

Build the engineering judgment to choose a design, explain its trade-offs, and recognize when it needs to evolve. These skills carry over to both engineering work and AI system design interviews.

What you’ll learn

学会用一套可复用框架,拆解真实 GenAI 产品从需求、架构到评测和上线的关键决策。 Build the judgment to choose, explain, and evolve an AI architecture.

  • 学会从用户体验、业务目标、系统边界、模型能力、数据流、评测、成本、延迟和安全等维度拆解 AI 产品问题

  • Turn requirements into an architecture, compare alternatives, and explain the evidence behind each decision.

  • 判断什么时候该用 workflow,什么时候该用 agent,以及如何设计 tool calling、memory、state management、human-in-the-loop、fallback 和 escalation

  • Choose the right level of autonomy; design tool use, state, human review, and recovery together.

  • 学会定义 AI 产品的成功指标,构建 eval dataset,结合 human rating、LLM judge、online metrics 和用户反馈持续迭代系统

  • Define what good looks like, identify the failing stage, and test whether a change improves the product.
