LLM Foundations
Transformer-era language modeling concepts, architectures, and capability framing.
TRACKS
Transformer-era language modeling concepts, architectures, and capability framing.
Training data, distributed pretraining, post-training, alignment loops, inference optimization, and production serving for large language models.
Evidence-grounded LLM product architecture: RAG pipelines, agent-facing context, evaluation slices, observability, cost, safety boundaries, and production release judgment.
Synthetic data, verifiers, process supervision, reasoning traces, and frontier post-training loops.
Tool schemas, planners, sandboxes, browser agents, orchestration loops, and runtime failure handling.
Design memory, context assembly, and planning state for long-lived LLM agents that must preserve evidence, recover work, and act under operational constraints.
Guardrails, policy enforcement, action filtering, runtime controls, and the trust boundaries needed around agentic systems.
Offline evals, task suites, judge systems, reliability trade-offs, and the measurement discipline required to compare LLM behavior honestly.
Coordination protocols, role assignment, negotiation, and the design patterns for systems composed of multiple autonomous agents.
Tool selection, environment feedback, learned interaction policies, and the mechanisms that let agents improve through action.
Design reliable work with AI assistants and agents: delegation, context, review, tool boundaries, memory, failure recovery, and human judgment.
