-
What AI, ML, Deep Learning and LLMs Are
One map of the AI family, and how an LLM “predicts the next token”.
-
Prompting & Using AI Well
Prompting techniques: role, context, examples, step-by-step thinking and structured output.
-
Hallucination, Reliability & Limits
Why models confidently make things up, and how to check and reduce the risk.
-
Pretraining, Data & Scaling Laws
Pre-training data pipelines, scaling laws, Chinchilla, μP, MTP and training stability.
-
Reasoning Models: RLVR, GRPO & Test-Time Compute
Chain of thought, self-consistency, process rewards, GRPO/DAPO, verifiable rewards and the R1 recipe.
-
Serving Engines
PagedAttention, continuous batching, prefix caching, speculative decoding, prefill/decode disaggregation and gateway routing.
-
RAG Engineering & Evaluation
Chunking, query rewriting, HyDE, GraphRAG, citations and evaluation metrics.
-
Agents: Tool Use, MCP, Planning & Memory
ReAct, function calling, MCP, reflection, memory, multi-agent systems, computer use and sandboxes.
-
AI Engineering: Evals, Cost & Shipping
Your own eval sets, LLM judges, observability, model gateways, cost control and product design.
-
Evaluation & Benchmarks
Major benchmarks, arenas, data contamination and the limits of capability evaluation.
-
Security: Jailbreaks, Injection & Privacy
Adversarial examples, GCG, prompt injection, red-teaming, watermarking, differential privacy and backdoors.
-
Frontier Risk, Scalable Oversight & Governance
Weak-to-strong generalisation, debate, Constitutional AI, risk frameworks and regulation (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF).
