Twelve modules. Every one exists for a reason.

Grouped into five levels of increasing Agentic AI depth. Each module lists what you'll actually master and what you'll build.

L01

Foundations of Agentic AI

module
01

How LLMs Actually Work

Deep dive into the internals of an LLM, i.e. the Transformer architecture. Here we will learn about Tokenisation, Word Embeddings, and the Attention Mechanism. By the end of this module you will understand how an LLM actually works.

key concepts
Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) from scratchToken vs positional embeddingsRoPE, ALiBiQuery / Key / Value attentionMulti-head attentionCausal maskingCross attention (encoder-decoder, multimodal)Flash Attention intuitionThe full Transformer block (LayerNorm, residuals, FFN, SwiGLU)Decoder-only vs encoder-decoder architectures
build

Multi-head causal attention in PyTorch from scratch, then nanoGPT, a decoder-only Transformer, trained on Tiny Shakespeare.

module
02

A Brief History of the Evolution of Intelligence

The eighty-year arc that brought us here, from the first mathematical model of a neuron to the ChatGPT moment. Every design decision inside a modern LLM is a deliberate answer to a question raised decades ago.

key concepts
McCulloch & Pitts (1943)Rosenblatt's Perceptron (1958)Minsky & Papert and the first AI winterBackpropagation (Rumelhart, Hinton & Williams, 1986)Yann LeCun & LeNetSupervised, unsupervised and self-supervised learningFei-Fei Li & ImageNet (2009)AlexNet (2012)Sequence-to-sequence + attentionThe Transformer (2017)BERT, GPT-1/2/3Scaling laws (Kaplan 2020, Chinchilla 2022)InstructGPT and the ChatGPT momentThe bitter lesson
capstone build

A Perceptron from scratch in NumPy, train it on a linearly-separable problem (Rosenblatt), watch it fail on XOR (Minsky & Papert), then add a hidden layer with backpropagation and watch it succeed.

L02

Retrieval for Agentic Systems

module
03

Retrieval Systems: RAG, Agentic RAG & GraphRAG

The full retrieval stack in one thread. Start with the production RAG pipeline, advance to agentic retrieval with query decomposition and routing across sources, then move past vectors into knowledge graphs for the multi-hop questions vector search cannot answer.

key concepts
Embedding models & tradeoffsVector DBs (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma)HNSWChunking strategiesHybrid search (dense + BM25)MMR & reranking (Cohere, bge-reranker)Citation & groundingQuery decomposition & Self-RAGHyDEContextual retrieval (Anthropic)Parent-child & multi-source routingEntity & relationship extractionNeo4j, KuzuMicrosoft GraphRAG, LightRAGHybrid graph + vector retrievalRAGAS evaluation
capstone build

GraphRAG over your domain: pick a real dataset (legal, medical, codebase, or product docs), build a knowledge graph with hybrid graph + vector retrieval, and ship LLM Q&A with citations.

L03

Building Agents

module
04

Tool Use & Single-Agent Patterns

The difference between a chatbot and an agent: tool use, reasoning loops, and the pattern decision tree that separates good single agents from broken ones. Implemented from scratch so you understand them without framework magic.

key concepts
Tool / function calling mechanicsTool Use patternAgent LoopRalph LoopReAct pattern (from scratch)CodeAct patternToDo Pattern (Multi-Step Plan & Execute)Retrieve Reasoning TokensPrompt chainingRoutingParallelisationOrchestrator-workerEvaluator-optimiserPattern decision treeAnti-patterns catalogue
build

ReAct and CodeAct agents from scratch, compared on a real multi-step research task.

module
05

Multi-Agent Orchestration, MCP & A2A

How agents talk to tools and to each other over open protocols, then coordinate as teams. Build MCP servers and clients, wire up Agent2Agent communication, and orchestrate supervisors, debate, and consensus, the patterns that separate production-ready multi-agent systems from research toys.

key concepts
Model Context Protocol (MCP)Agent2Agent (A2A) protocolHosts, clients, serversTransports (stdio, SSE, Streamable HTTP)TypeScript & Python SDKsExposing tools, resources, promptsOAuth flows & MCP InspectorPlanning & decompositionSelf-reflection (Reflexion)Supervisor / orchestratorDebate & consensusHierarchical teamsLangGraph vs CrewAI vs AutoGenHuman-in-the-loop gates
build

A multi-agent code review system (reviewer + fixer + tester) orchestrated with LangGraph, exposed to other agents over MCP and A2A.

module
06

Context Engineering, Agent Harness, Deep Agents & Secure Execution

Long-horizon agents that plan, decompose, and spawn sub-agents over a virtual file system to survive complex, multi-step goals, well beyond a single reasoning loop. Because a deep agent writes and runs its own code, it cannot run untethered: every agent executes inside a hardened sandbox, paired with browser agents that act on the real web safely.

key concepts
Planning & task decompositionExplicit to-do stateSub-agent spawningVirtual file-system contextLangChain DeepAgentsLong-horizon controlAgent-code risk modelgVisor application kernelDaytona workspace lifecycleE2B Code InterpreterFirecracker microVMsWASM sandboxingBrowser Use, Stagehand, SkyvernChoosing isolation levels
build

A long-running deep agent that plans and spawns sub-agents inside a gVisor/Daytona sandbox, with a browser agent that completes a real task end-to-end (books a flight or scrapes a live site).

module
07

Memory Systems for Agents

Give your agents the ability to remember, across turns, across sessions, across users. Build a standalone memory service that any agent can plug into, then put it to work inside a coding agent of your own.

key concepts
Memory taxonomy (short-term, working, long-term, episodic, semantic)Conversation bufferSummary memoryEntity memoryPersistent vector-store memoryToken budgetingEviction strategiesMemory decay & forgetting curvesRecency & relevance scoringReinforcement & reconsolidationMem0 / Letta / LangMem architectures
capstone build

Mini Claude Code Clone, a terminal coding agent (Aider-style) that reads files, edits code, runs tests, iterates on errors, and plugs into a memory layer you build in this module.

L04

Securely Deploying Agents on Production

module
08

Evaluating AI Systems & Agents

You cannot improve what you cannot measure. The complete evaluation engineering stack: from designing benchmarks and golden datasets to running automated eval pipelines, LLM-as-judge frameworks, and the continuous eval harness that catches regressions before they reach production.

key concepts
Eval taxonomy (unit, integration, end-to-end)Golden dataset creation and annotation workflowsLLM-as-judge (criteria-based, pairwise, rubric)RAGAS, DeepEval, PromptfooHuman evaluation protocolsA/B testing prompts and modelsRegression suites and CI eval gatesSWE-bench, GAIA, AgentBench, BFCLEval-driven development loopContinuous eval pipelines (Braintrust, Langfuse, LangSmith)
build

An end-to-end eval harness for the coding agent you built in the Agents level: golden dataset construction, an LLM-as-judge scoring pipeline, a CI gate that blocks regressions, and a Braintrust dashboard tracking quality across prompt and model versions.

module
09

Production Deployment, Observability & LLM Security

Ship, watch, defend. Agents in production need tracing, guardrails, and red-teaming against the attacks specific to LLM systems, all the failure modes that never show up in development.

key concepts
Stateless vs stateful agentsQueue-based scalingObservability (Langfuse, LangSmith, Helicone, Phoenix, Braintrust)OWASP LLM Top 10Direct & indirect prompt injectionData exfiltration patternsGuardrails AI, NeMo GuardrailsCanary deploysRegression testing with golden datasets

Production Coding Assistant (MCP + gVisor + HITL + observability), or Deep Research Clone (long-running citation-backed research agent).

L05

Depth & Frontier

module
10

Training & Fine-Tuning Models

Go inside the model. Understand how models are pre-trained, then fine-tune open-source models for your own use cases with the techniques production teams actually ship.

key concepts
Pre-training objectivesChinchilla scaling lawsDistributed training (DDP, FSDP, ZeRO, tensor & pipeline parallelism)Full vs LoRA vs QLoRAInstruction tuningConstitutional AIUnsloth, Axolotl
build

LoRA fine-tune of Llama 3 8B on a custom instruction dataset, published to Hugging Face.

module
11

Inference Optimisation

Serving is where models go to die (or scale). KV cache, quantisation, Flash Attention, vLLM, the mechanics of fast, cheap inference at production scale.

key concepts
Prefill vs decode phasesKV cache internalsQuantisation (INT8, INT4, GPTQ, AWQ, GGUF, FP8)Flash AttentionSpeculative decodingContinuous batchingvLLM, TGI, Ollama, llama.cppTensorRT-LLMMLX (Apple Silicon)On-device / edge AI

nanochat from Scratch: a Karpathy-inspired full stack (pretrain to SFT to serve), end to end. Or a browser agent that builds on the deep-agent harness from the Agents level.

module
12

Reinforcement Learning & Reasoning Models

How models learn to reason. The reinforcement-learning techniques behind alignment and the new reasoning models, from RLHF to verifiable-reward RL, then the test-time-compute methods and architectures that make o1, o3, and R1 think.

key concepts
RLHF (reward model + PPO)DPO, ORPO, KTOGRPO & RL with verifiable rewardsChain-of-thoughtTree-of-thoughtSelf-consistencyTest-time computeo1 / o3 / Claude Extended ThinkingDeepSeek-R1Mixture of Experts (Mixtral, DeepSeek-V3)State Space Models (Mamba, RWKV)Knowledge distillation

Joining this cohort was one of the best decisions I made for my AI learning journey. Before this, I was unsure where to start and overwhelmed by the noise around AI. Aseem's sessions gave me clarity, strong fundamentals, and the confidence to build my own agents. The focus on basic principles and real-world systems makes all the difference.

Aman Sapra
Assistant Manager at KPMG Delivery Network India
KPMG

I would highly recommend this cohort to anyone who wants to understand Agentic AI beyond the hype and surface-level tutorials. What makes this program stand out is the way it combines fundamentals, system design, and real-world implementation thinking. The cohort does not just focus on tools or quick demos. It helps you understand how AI systems are actually designed, how LLMs and agents fit into modern product architectures, and how to reason about them as an engineer. If you want depth instead of buzzwords, this is the cohort to join.

Prashant Bucha

Aseem's masterclass finally made AI click for me beyond just writing prompts. He goes deep into how the models and agents actually work under the hood, the attention math, the agent loops, the evals, exactly the kind of depth you need as an engineer who wants to build with AI, not just use it. Genuinely one of the most useful technical programs I've done in years.

Vipul Sharma
Lead Member of Technical Staff at Stage
Stage

Genuinely one of the best learning experiences I've had as an engineer. Aseem takes dense AI and systems topics and turns them into something you can actually build with, every session moves you from theory to working code. It's the rare cohort that respects your time and assumes you want real depth. Highly recommend it to anyone serious about going beyond the surface.

Jasleen Kaur
Staff Engineer at MediaTek
MediaTek

As a staff engineer, what I value most is depth and first-principles thinking, and this cohort delivers both. Aseem connects the math, the systems, and the production reality in a way I haven't seen in any other program. It's rare to find teaching that is this rigorous and this practical at the same time. I came in to fill gaps and left with a genuinely stronger mental model of the whole stack.

Satyam Singh

I learned a lot about the internal workings of AI, which is helping me use AI far more effectively for technical and complex problem-solving tasks.

Sankalp Sharma

Glad to be part of this cohort. What stands out is the practical depth, not just tools, but how AI, system design, and agentic patterns come together for real-world engineering. Looking forward to learning more.

What I appreciate most is the depth of learning. Instead of just covering the “what,” the cohort dives into the “how” and “why” behind AI concepts. Great experience so far!

Alankit Gupta
Senior Software Engineer at SplashLearn
SplashLearn

As someone coming from a backend and system-design background, this cohort has helped me connect traditional engineering principles with modern AI systems. Every session leaves me with a long list of things to explore and apply. Great learning experience so far.

Shyam Singh

I'm attending this weekend cohort on AI agents, and now I finally understand how AI and agents actually work. Earlier, AI was just magic to me, now I understand the machinery behind it. Thanks Aseem for these sessions.

Rohan

Coming from a distributed-systems background, I expected the AI parts to feel hand-wavy. They didn't. Every concept is grounded in how you'd actually design, ship, and operate it, latency, failure modes, evals, the works. This is the most engineering-honest AI course I've come across.

The pace is intense and the depth is real. We built things from scratch instead of gluing libraries together, and that completely changes how you think about the stack. Easily the best technical cohort I've taken.

Harsh

I've done plenty of online courses that stay at the surface. This one goes all the way down, tokenization, attention, agent loops, evals, and then back up to production. I finally feel like I understand AI instead of just using it.
