I like the short courses but I wish there are examples of open source LLMs as well. When using RAG, I don’t want to necessarily use OpenAI API.

Build and customize complex AI applications with a flexible framework in this new short course, Building AI Applications with Haystack. Created in collaboration with deepset, makers of Haystack, and taught by Tuana, who is the developer relations lead for Haystack at deepset. Generative AI technology is changing rapidly and it can be challenging to integrate APIs from different LLMs, vector databases, and various tools such as web search. In this course, you will learn how to use the Haystack framework to make your development process more modular, allowing you to manage complexity and focus more on building your application. In detail, you’ll: - Build a RAG pipeline using Haystack’s main building blocks – components, pipelines, and document stores. - Create custom components in your pipeline by building a Hacker News summarizer that extends your app’s ability to access APIs. - Use conditional routing to create a branching pipeline with a fallback to web search mechanism when the LLM does not have the necessary context to respond to the user's query. - Build a self-reflecting agent for named entity recognition that loops using an output validator custom component. - Create a chat agent using OpenAI's function-calling capabilities which allow you to provide Haystack pipelines as tools to the LLM, enhancing that agent's capabilities. By the end of this course, you will learn a high-level orchestration framework that can help make your applications flexible, extendible, and maintainable, even as the technology stack changes, new user needs arise, and you add new features to your application.

New course: MCP: Build Rich-Context AI Apps with Anthropic. Learn to build AI apps that access tools, data, and prompts using the Model Context Protocol in this short course, created in partnership with Anthropic Anthropic and taught by Elie Schoppik Elie Schoppik, its Head of Technical Education. Connecting AI applications to external systems that bring rich context to LLM-based applications has often meant writing custom integrations for each use case. MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how LLMs access tools, data, and prompts from external sources, and simplifies how you provide context to your LLM-based applications. For example, you can provide context via third-party tools that let your LLM make API calls to search the web, access data from local docs, retrieve code from a GitHub repo, and so on. MCP, developed by Anthropic, is based on a client-server architecture that defines the communication details between an MCP client, hosted inside the AI application, and an MCP server that exposes tools, resources, and prompt templates. The server can be a subprocess launched by the client that runs locally or an independent process running remotely. In this hands-on course, you'll learn the core architecture behind MCP. You’ll create an MCP-compatible chatbot, build and deploy an MCP server, and connect the chatbot to your MCP server and other open-source servers. Here’s what you’ll do: - Understand why MCP makes AI development less fragmented and standardizes connections between AI applications and external data sources - Learn the core components of the client-server architecture of MCP and the underlying communication mechanism - Build a chatbot with custom tools for searching academic papers, and transform it into an MCP-compatible application - Build a local MCP server that exposes tools, resources, and prompt templates using FastMCP, and test it using MCP Inspector - Create an MCP client inside your chatbot to dynamically connect to your server - Connect your chatbot to reference servers built by Anthropic’s MCP team, such as filesystem, which implements filesystem operations, and fetch, which extracts contents from the web as markdown - Configure Claude Desktop to connect to your server and others, and explore how it abstracts away the low-level logic of MCP clients - Deploy your MCP server remotely and test it with the Inspector or other MCP-compatible applications - Learn about the roadmap for future MCP development, such as multi-agent architecture, MCP registry API, server discovery, authorization, and authentication MCP is an exciting and important technology that lets you build rich-context AI applications that connect to a growing ecosystem of MCP servers, with minimal integration work.

New short course on Serverless LLM apps with Amazon Bedrock, taught by Amazon Web Services' Mike G Chambers! A serverless architecture enables you to quickly deploy your applications without needing to set up and manage compute servers to run your applications on, the maintenance of which can be another full-time job. In this course, you’ll learn how to do this by using an event-driven architecture to build complex AI workflows. Mike illustrate these concepts by building a cool application that automatically detects incoming customer inquiries, transcribes them with ASR (automatic speech recognition), summarizes them with an LLM using Bedrock, and deploys serverless with AWS Lambda. I hope this course makes it much easier for you to build and deploy LLM applications requiring multi-step AI workflows. Please sign up here:

Announcing a new Coursera course: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) You'll learn to build high performance, production-ready RAG systems in this hands-on, in-depth course created by and taught by Zain, experienced AI and ML engineer, researcher, and educator. RAG is a critical component today of many LLM-based applications in customer support, internal company Q&A systems, even many of the leading chatbots that use web search to answer your questions. This course teaches you in-depth how to make RAG work well. LLMs can produce generic or outdated responses, especially when asked specialized questions not covered in its training data. RAG is the most widely used technique for addressing this. It brings in data from new data sources, such as internal documents or recent news, to give the LLM the relevant context to private, recent, or specialized information. This lets it generate more grounded and accurate responses. In this course, you’ll learn to design and implement every part of a RAG system, from retrievers to vector databases to generation to evals. You’ll learn about the fundamental principles behind RAG and how to optimize it at both the component and whole-system levels. As AI evolves, RAG is evolving too. New models can handle longer context windows, reason more effectively, and can be parts of complex agentic workflows. One exciting growth area is Agentic RAG, in which an AI agent at runtime (rather than it being hardcoded at development time) autonomously decides what data to retrieve, and when/how to go deeper. Even with this evolution, access to high-quality data at runtime is essential, which is why RAG is a key part of so many applications. You'll learn via hands-on experiences to: - Build a RAG system with retrieval and prompt augmentation - Compare retrieval methods like BM25, semantic search, and Reciprocal Rank Fusion - Chunk, index, and retrieve documents using a Weaviate vector database and a news dataset - Develop a chatbot, using open-source LLMs hosted by Together AI, for a fictional store that answers product and FAQ questions - Use evals to drive improving reliability, and incorporate multi-modal data RAG is an important foundational technique.

New Short Course: Getting Structured LLM Output! Learn how to get structured outputs from your LLM applications in this course, built in partnership with .txt, and taught by Will Kurt, a Founding Engineer, and , Developer Relations Engineer. It's challenging for software to automatically parse through an LLM's freeform text outputs. Structured outputs—like JSON—solve this by converting natural language into consistent, clear, data that a machine can read and process. This course teaches you how to generate structured outputs while building several use cases, including a social media analysis agent. You’ll learn about structured outputs and efficient ways to generate outputs in your defined schema or format. You’ll begin by using structured output APIs, then use re-prompting libraries like “instructor” to generate structured output. Finally, you’ll learn how constrained decoding works; this is a very clever technique in which constraints are applied on each subsequent token generated, blocking any tokens that don’t fit your defined schema. In detail, you’ll: - Learn why structured outputs are important, how they allow for scalable software development, and the different approaches to generate them, including vendor-provided APIs, re-prompting libraries, and structured generation. - Build a simple social media agent using OpenAI’s structured output API, learn how to define a model's desired structured output using Pydantic, and perform basic programming with your outputs, such as importing structured data into a data frame using pandas. - Learn how to use the open-source library "instructor," which checks the structured output of the model and re-prompts the model until it validates the desired output, and explore the limitations of this approach. - Understand how structured generation by the “outlines” library works by modifying LLM logits, on a per-generated-token basis based on the desired format, to give a particular output structure. - Learn how regular expressions, which outlines works with, are represented as finite-state machines, and how they can be used to develop a range of structured outputs beyond JSON. By the end of this course, you’ll have broadened your knowledge of the approaches you can use to get structured outputs from your LLM applications. Please sign up here:

New short course: DSPy: Build and Optimize Agentic Apps DSPy is a powerful open-source framework for automatically tuning prompts for GenAI applications. In this course, you'll learn to use DSPy, together with MLflow. This is built in partnership with Databricks and taught by Chen Qian, co-lead of the DSPy framework. Many AI builders spend hours hand-tuning prompts. When given a set of evals, DSPy automates this process. It’s especially useful for optimizing prompts, including few-shot prompts, in complex agentic AI workflows. Further, if you switch an application to a newer LLM, performance can degrade if your prompts were optimized to the previous model. DSPy automatically optimizes the entire system for the new LLM as well, using just a few evaluation examples. This course teaches DSPy works, and best practices for using it. You’ll write programs using DSPy’s signature-based programming model, debug them with MLflow tracing -- to gain visibility into how different parts of a pipeline, as well as how the overall system, are performing -- and automatically improve their accuracy with DSPy Optimizer.

New short course on Building Applications with Vector Databases, taught by Pinecone’s Tim Tully! At the heart of a vector database is the ability to store a collection of vectors and then query against that, meaning input a new vector and find similar ones. This is useful for many AI applications. In this course, you'll learn how to use vector databases to build: (i) Semantic Search: Create a text search tool that goes beyond keyword matching, and instead focuses on the meaning of content. (ii) RAG (retrieval augmented generation): Enhance your LLM output by incorporating context from sources the model wasn't trained on. (iii) Recommender System: Combine semantic search and RAG to recommend topics, and demonstrate it with a news article recommender. (iv) Hybrid Search: Build an application that finds items using both images and descriptive text -- by combining both sparse and dense vector representations of the data -- using an eCommerce dataset as an example. (v) Image Similarity: Use image vector embeddings to create an app to compare facial features, using a database of public figures to determine the likeness between them. (vi) Anomaly Detection: Build an anomaly detection app that identifies unusual patterns in network communication logs. I hope you’ll enjoy learning how to build all these types of applications!

You'll work with NexusRavenV2-13B, a 13B parameter open-source model that excels in function calling tasks while still being small enough to host locally. Learn to use function calling to extract structured data from unstructured text and access web APIs, and build an end-to-end application that processes customer service transcripts. You'll learn how to build LLM-powered applications that can analyze feedback, automate data entry, and enhance search. Please get started here:

New short course: Build Long-Context AI Apps with Jamba. Learn about state space models (SSMs), which have emerged as an alternative to transformers! Specifically, Jamba is a hybrid transformer-Mamba architecture that combines strengths of the transformer with ideas from SSMs. This course is built with AI21 Labs and taught by Chen Wang and Chen Almagor. The transformer architecture is computationally expensive when handling very long input contexts. But there's an alternative called Mamba, a selective state space model that can process very long contexts with a much lower computational cost. However, researchers found that the pure Mamba architecture underperforms in understanding the context, and gives lower-quality responses. To overcome this, AI21 developed the Jamba model, which combines Mamba's computational efficiency with the transformer's attention mechanism to help with the output quality. In this course, you’ll learn about how state space models, and Jamba, work. You’ll also learn how to prompt Jamba, use it to process long documents, and build long-context RAG apps. - Learn how Jamba combines transformer and state space model architectures to achieve high performance and quality - Use the AI21 SDK, with an example of prompting over a large 200k-token annual financial report of Nvidia - Use Jamba for tool-calling, with hands-on examples from calling simple arithmetic calculations to a function that returns quarterly company financial reports. - Learn how training for long context is done, and the metrics used for its evaluation - Create a RAG app using the AI21 Conversational RAG tool and build your own RAG pipeline that uses Jamba and LangChain. By the end of this course, you'll learn how to build applications that can handle context as long as an entire book. Please sign up here:

New short course on advanced retrieval for RAG (retrieval augmented generation)! RAG fetches relevant documents to give context to an LLM. In Advanced Retrieval for AI with Chroma, taught by Chroma founder anton 🇺🇸, you’ll learn: (i) Query expansion using an LLM to rewrite and improve a query, by either generating either additional relevant queries or a hypothetical answer to the query. (ii) Reranking using a cross-encoder - a model trained to measure similarity between two inputs presented simultaneously. Reranking reorders retrieved documents based on the cross-encoder similarity measure. (iii) Constructing and training an Embedding Adaptor, which is a model that adapts the embedding values to be more relevant to your use case. Each of these techniques can help you build much better RAG systems. Please sign up for the course here:

Introducing "Building with Llama 4." This short course is created with Meta AI at Meta, and taught by Amit Sangani, Director of Partner Engineering for Meta’s AI team. Meta’s new Llama 4 has added three new models and introduced the Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture to its family of open-weight models, making them more efficient to serve. In this course, you’ll work with two of the three new models introduced in Llama 4. First is Maverick, a 400B parameter model, with 128 experts and 17B active parameters. Second is Scout, a 109B parameter model with 16 experts and 17B active parameters. Maverick and Scout support long context windows of up to a million tokens and 10M tokens, respectively. The latter is enough to support directly inputting even fairly large GitHub repos for analysis! In hands-on lessons, you’ll build apps using Llama 4’s new multimodal capabilities including reasoning across multiple images and image grounding, in which you can identify elements in images. You’ll also use the official Llama API, work with Llama 4’s long-context abilities, and learn about Llama’s newest open-source tools: its prompt optimization tool that automatically improves system prompts and synthetic data kit that generates high-quality datasets for fine-tuning. If you need an open model, Llama is a great option, and the Llama 4 family is an important part of any GenAI developer's toolkit. Through this course, you’ll learn to call Llama 4 via API, use its optimization tools, and build features that span text, images, and large context. Please sign up here:
