Track 1 — AI Foundations (Free)

No prior AI experience assumed. Goal by the end: you understand what an LLM is, can write effective prompts, understand RAG conceptually, and know where models fail.

Modules

1. What an LLM Actually Is — tokens, context windows, sampling, base vs. instruction-tuned models
2. Prompt Engineering Fundamentals
3. RAG Basics
4. Model Capabilities & Limitations
5. Capstone: Build a Simple RAG Chatbot
