Learning track / Intermediate to advanced / Estimated 6–8 hours
AI Systems Engineering
Connect models, retrieval, APIs, and application logic into complete solutions.
Start with the engineering.
- Understand
- Inspect
- Build
- Verify
01 / Core concept
Separate API handlers, retrieval, application rules, and model inference. Enforce access checks outside the model.
02 / Engineering practice
Retrieve only approved data and retain document identifiers; measure retrieval quality independently.
03 / Test the boundary
Use controlled fixtures for testing. Define execution limits, deployment boundaries, and maintenance before production.
This starter track connects published foundational lessons and guided browser workshops. Extended Python, API, retrieval, and deployment curriculum retains its existing publication status.
