Syllabus

Focuses on building on top of third-party models rather than training your own: OpenAI/Anthropic/OSS APIs, function calling and cost; shipping the result as a service with FastAPI and Docker; and evaluating what you built with benchmarks, LLM evals, A/B testing and red teaming. The groundwork comes in through Python, text as data and ethics/bias; the agent orientation comes in through the two introductory Agentic AI modules, which draw the line between a chatbot and an agent.
