What You’ll Learn In Learn by Doing. Become an AI Engineer
Project 1: Build an LLM Playground
LLM Overview and Foundations
Pre-Training
- Data collection (manual crawling, Common Crawl)
- Data cleaning (RefinedWeb, Dolma, FineWeb)
- Tokenization (e.g., BPE)
- Architecture (neural networks, Transformers, GPT family, DeepSeek, Qwen, Gemma)
- Text generation (greedy and beam search, top-k, top-p)
Post-Training
- SFT
- RL and RLHF (verifiable tasks, reward models, PPO, etc.)
Evaluation
- Traditional metrics
- Task-specific benchmarks
- Human evaluation and leaderboards
Chatbots’ Overall Design
Project 2: Build a Customer Support Chatbot using RAGs and Prompt Engineering
Overview of Adaptation Techniques
Finetuning
- Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT)
- Adapters and LoRA
Prompt Engineering
- Few-shot and zero-shot prompting
- Chain-of-thought prompting
- Role-specific and user-context prompting
RAGs Overview
Retrieval
- Document parsing (rule-based, AI-based) and chunking strategies
- Indexing (keyword, full-text, knowledge-based, vector-based, embedding models)
Generation
- Search methods (exact and approximate nearest neighbor)
- Prompt engineering for RAGs
RAFT: Training technique for RAGs
Evaluation (context relevance, faithfulness, answer correctness)
RAGs’ Overall Design
Project 3: Build an “Ask-the-Web” Agent similar to Perplexity with Tool calling
Agents Overview
- Agents vs. agentic systems vs. LLMs
- Agency levels (e.g., workflows, multi-step agents)
Workflows
- Prompt chaining
- Routing
- Parallelization (sectioning, voting)
- Reflection
- Orchestration-worker
Tools
- Tool calling
- Tool formatting
- Tool execution
- MCP
Multi-Step Agents
- Planning autonomy
- ReACT
- Reflexion, ReWOO, etc.
- Tree search for agents
Multi-Agent Systems (challenges, use-cases, A2A protocol)
Agent Evaluation
Project 4: Build “Deep Research” Capability with Web Search and Reasoning Models
Reasoning and Thinking LLMs
- Overview of reasoning models like OpenAI’s “o” family and DeepSeek-R1
Inference-time Techniques
- Inference-time scaling
- CoT prompting
- Parallel sampling
- Sequential sampling
- Tree of Thoughts (ToT)
- Search against a verifier
Training-time techniques
- SFT on reasoning data (e.g., STaR)
- Reinforcement learning with a verifier
- Reward modeling (ORM, PRM)
- Self-refinement
- Internalizing search (e.g., Meta-CoT)
Local Deployment
Project 5: Build a Multi-modal Generation Agent
Overview of Image and Video Generation
- VAE
- GANs
- Auto-regressive models
- Diffusion models
Text-to-Image (T2I)
- Data preparation
- Diffusion architectures (U-Net, DiT)
- Diffusion training (forward process, backward process)
- Diffusion sampling
- Evaluation (image quality, diversity, image-text alignment, IS, FID, and CLIP score)
Text-to-Video (T2V)
- Latent-diffusion modeling (LDM) and compression networks
- Data preparation (filtering, standardization, video latent caching)
- DiT architecture for videos
- Large-scale training challenges
- T2V’s overall system
Project 6: Capstone Project
Ship a portfolio-ready AI project from idea to demo
- Choose: pick your own idea, or start from a curated list
- Build: implement using techniques from the course
- Iterate: get real-time feedback from the instructor as you build
- Optional Demo: present your project on final demo day
