- 01LLM Foundations
LLM principles and language
Explains the full flow from input through tokens to a response without memorizing unfamiliar terms separately.
Absolute beginner - 02Memory & Quantization
Memory and quantization
Judge the differences among model file size, runtime memory, context length, and active parameters with real numbers.
Foundations - 03AI Hardware Selection
Accelerators and system selection
Compare workload, memory, software ecosystem, and operating conditions before product names.
Foundations - 04Models & Runtimes
Models and runtimes
Find and download the model, reproduce it with a compatible runtime, and record the source and version as evidence.
Foundations - 05Prompt & Agent Workflows
Prompt and agent workflows
Do not trust generated results as-is; design tool permissions, failure paths, and human review points.
Practical - 06Data & Fine-tuning
Data and fine-tuning
Fix the data contract and baseline first, then compare the effect and cost of small adapter training.
Practical - 07RAG & Evaluation
RAG and evaluation
Retrieve documents to link evidence to answers, and revalidate quality before and after changes with the same question set.
Practical - 08Secure Serving
Secure serving
Before exposing the model API, combine security boundaries, observability metrics, rollback, and user outcomes into a single acceptance criterion.
