AI Engineer

AI Engineering from Scratch is a free, open-source curriculum developed by rohitg00 for learning to build and ship AI systems end to end. Its 20-phase sequence covers development tooling, mathematical and machine-learning foundations, deep learning, NLP, computer vision, generative AI, LLM applications, agent engineering, Model Context Protocol (MCP), agent skills, reinforcement learning, and related topics, with implementations in Python, TypeScript, Rust, and Julia. The repository describes 511 lessons and approximately 329 hours of material; each lesson produces a reusable artifact such as a prompt, skill, agent, or MCP server. Learners are instructed to read the lesson documentation, type and run the code from the repository root, record command evidence and outputs, and make a small change before continuing. It provides routes for complete foundations, mathematics and machine learning, production LLM applications, agent engineering, MCP, agent skills, and Claude certification preparation. The repository is distributed under the MIT license and is accompanied by a website containing the same lesson content.

AI Engineering Lab is a free, self-paced 24-week AI engineering course developed by Zorost Intelligence AI Lab. It takes learners from Python and machine learning through deep learning, LLM internals, prompt and context engineering, retrieval-augmented generation with vector search, quantization, LoRA and DPO fine-tuning, evaluation harnesses, coding-agent harnesses, AI agents, MCP, and cloud and Databricks platforms including Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, and Databricks. The curriculum uses one continuous fictional freight-company case study. Each week pairs a concept with a runnable Python, SQL, or PySpark artifact; from Week 3 onward, the work includes a metric and an error note. The repository contains 43 runnable notebooks, publishes the full curriculum online, requires no signup or paid API key, and states that the first eight weeks require no GPU. It is MIT licensed.

AI Automation Society is a free online community hosted on Skool and associated with Nate Herk. It covers AI automation skills and implementation through Claude Code skills, GitHub repositories, resource guides, more than 100 n8n templates, courses, challenges, and other building resources. Its seven-day challenge guides members from an initial setup to a Claude Code AI executive assistant for email, calendar, and other routine tasks, while its AI Operating System framework provides a GitHub-based approach for building assistants intended for business use.
