Frequently asked questions

What will I learn in AI Engineering Foundations?
You learn to build production AI systems: prompt and context engineering, structured outputs, RAG pipelines from chunking to retrieval, fine-tuning with SFT and LoRA, multimodal processing, dataset engineering, inference optimization, and post-training methods like DPO and GRPO. Every chapter is hands-on and grounded in plain code.
Who is this course for?
It is built for software engineers and developers who want to ship real AI features, not just experiment with chatbots. It assumes you can read and write code and want to understand the techniques behind RAG, fine-tuning, and structured generation.
Do I need prior AI or machine learning experience?
You need general programming experience, but no prior machine learning background. The path is set at practitioner level and explains each technique, such as embeddings, retrieval, and LoRA, as you build with it.
How long is the course, and how is it structured?
The path has 12 chapters totaling about 4.3 hours (257 minutes). It opens with an intro chapter that maps every topic so you know where to start and how the chapters connect, then moves through prompting, RAG, fine-tuning, multimodal, and inference optimization.
Is AI Engineering Foundations free?
Yes, this path is free. You get all 12 chapters covering prompting, RAG, fine-tuning, multimodal AI, and inference optimization at no cost.
