Cohort 3

This course takes you from core concepts to production-grade AI systems through hands-on, project-focused modules.<ol><li>LLMs &amp; RAG Learn Large Language Models and Retrieval-Augmented Generation. Build conversational agents using the OpenAI SDK and create data-processing pipelines. Outcome: A RAG pipeline with real data.</li><li>Agentic Flows + MCP Add agentic behavior with function calling, using libraries like PydanticAI, and Agents SDK. Expose tools via MCP. Outcome: A capable, tool-using agents.</li><li>Testing &amp; Evaluation Improve through testing and offline evaluation. Use LLMs as judges to compare approaches. Learn tools like Evidently and LangWatch. Outcome: A thoroughly tested and evaluated assistant.</li><li>Monitoring &amp; Guardrails Use Grafana, Pydantic Logfire and OpenTelemetry for observability and safety. Outcome: Real-time monitoring.</li><li>Use Cases Create two agents: a website generator and a code reviewer. Learn about other use cases.</li><li>Capstone Build an end-to-end AI application with your data. Outcome: A portfolio-ready project.</li></ol>Hackathon: Collaborate on real-world problems.By the end, you will: build, evaluate and monitor a smart assistant; create deep research and coding agents; have a polished portfolio project
