Become an AI Engineer

For developers building real features on top of LLMs.

From prompting to retrieval to agents to evaluation and serving — the full arc of shipping LLM-powered features, threaded through handbooks, system designs, runnable challenges and tools.

  • Structure prompts and LLM calls that hold up in production
  • Build a retrieval pipeline from chunking to ranked context
  • Design agent + tool-calling systems and evaluate them honestly
  • Reason about inference cost, latency and serving at scale

  1. HandbookNext up

    The Prompting Handbook

    Start at the interface to every model — prompting.

  2. ToolTool · optional

    Context Budget & Cost Planner

    Feel how context length drives latency and cost.

  3. AI System Design

    Design a RAG Pipeline

    The canonical RAG architecture, end to end.

  4. Challenge

    Cosine Similarity

    Implement the similarity metric retrieval runs on.

  5. Challenge

    Top-K Retrieval

    Rank documents by similarity — the “R” in RAG.

  6. ToolTool · optional

    RAG Chunking Playground

    Tune chunking and watch retrieval quality shift.

  7. AI System Design

    Design an AI Agent System

    Move from single calls to tool-using agents.

  8. ToolTool · optional

    Tool-Schema Designer

    Design the tool interfaces agents call.

  9. Handbook

    The Agent Evaluations Handbook

    Evaluate agents — the hard part of shipping them.

  10. Challenge

    Token-Level F1

    Implement a real eval metric by hand.

  11. AI System Design

    Design an LLM Inference Server

    Serve models at scale: batching, KV-cache.

  12. Handbook

    The Senior AI Engineer Interview Handbook

    Tie it together at senior scope.
