Your study plan
Fit the course around work. Leave time for implementation, debugging, and explanation.
Choose a sustainable pace
How many focused hours can you protect each week?
Your estimated journey
39weeks from the beginning395 core course hours + 72 suggested capstone hours. Module estimates include the lesson, coding lab, and mini project. The 50 optional extension labs add further practice time. Actual time depends on your starting point and experiments.
395 course hours remain by lesson completion. Use project and lab checklists to verify practical mastery.
How the phases fit together
Understand the foundations
Python, mathematical intuition, transformers, and your first bounded agent.
Ground reasoning in evidence
Tools, MCP, planning, memory, retrieval, and knowledge graphs.
Build agents that act together
Orchestration, browser and desktop use, voice, protocols, and events.
Engineer for the real world
Recovery, security, economics, evaluation, coding agents, and deployment.
Train, investigate, and contribute
Fine-tuning, RL, efficient inference, privacy, and original research.
Your focused capstone
Choose one blueprint, establish a baseline, and measure a specific improvement. Aim for depth and reproducibility.
A 90-minute session that sticks
Explain yesterday’s idea without opening the lesson.
Read a section. Trace the worked example by hand.
Implement a lab or project milestone. Investigate a failure.
Save a note, record evidence, and pick the next small task.
Suggested sequence, not a deadline. The same calendar week may contain the end of one phase and the beginning of the next. Check your understanding before moving on.
