Generative AI Fundamentals
The applied GenAI toolkit, built by hand.
A hands-on tour of generative AI: run your own LLM, master prompting, build agents, and stand up semantic search, RAG, and multimodal pipelines. Every concept is grounded in a project you code yourself, from your first local model to an end-to-end GenAI app.
