I asked GPT to, ""Find the CONNECTIVITY among courses. From FOUNDATIONAL to MORE FOUNDATIONAL level""

Here is the Response, might be helpful for someone :smiling_face: :hugs: :hugs: .

The connectivity among these courses can be structured into a hierarchy from the most foundational concepts (underpinning all modern AI) to the advanced application of those concepts in Agentic AI and Multi-Agent Systems.

The general progression of topics is: Transformer Architecture β†’ Large Language Models (LLM) & Concepts β†’ LLM Applications & Development β†’ Agentic AI & Multi-Agent Systems.


1. Foundational Core (Most Foundational)

These courses cover the core machine learning and model architectures that enable LLMs.

Course Category Foundational Course Examples Description
Model Architecture How Transformer LLMs WorkAttention in Transformers: Concepts and Code in PyTorch Covers the fundamental architecture behind LLMs, including attention mechanisms.
Programming/Data AI Python for Beginners Provides the necessary programming skills (Python) used by all the frameworks and libraries.

2. LLM Capabilities and Tuning

These courses focus on the core LLM technology, how to work with it, and how to improve its performance. This knowledge is a prerequisite for building any advanced application, including agents.

Course Category Foundational Course Examples Description
Model Creation & Tuning Pretraining LLMsFinetuning Large Language Models Teaches how to create and fine-tune LLMs from scratch or existing models.
Core LLM Application Skills ChatGPT Prompt Engineering for DevelopersPrompt Engineering with Llama 2&3 Focuses on effective prompting techniques for LLM interactions and outputs.
Efficiency and Deployment (LLMOps) Quantization Fundamentals with Hugging FaceEfficiently Serving LLMs Covers optimization for deployment, including quantization and serving strategies.

3. LLM Application Frameworks and Patterns

These courses focus on the standard methods and frameworks for building LLM-powered applications, especially for data retrieval (RAG). Agents are a special, highly-autonomous type of RAG application.

Course Category Foundational Course Examples Description
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Building Multimodal Search and RAGJavaScript RAG Web Apps with LlamaIndex Introduces RAG techniques for enhancing LLMs with external data retrieval.
Orchestration Frameworks (Beginner) LangChain Chat with Your DataBuild LLM Apps with LangChain.js Teaches beginner-friendly frameworks for orchestrating LLM applications.

4. Agentic AI Systems (More Foundational)

These courses represent the highest layer, applying all previous knowledge to create autonomous, action-taking systems. The β€œAgentic AI” course by Andrew Ng is positioned here as a capstone, defining the whole field. Multi-Agent Systems are a sub-set of Agentic AI.

Course Category Foundational Course Examples Description
Agent Core Concepts Agentic AIEvaluating AI AgentsBuilding toward Computer Use with Anthropic Introduces core ideas of agentic systems, evaluation, and tool-using agents.
Advanced Agent Frameworks AI Agents in LangGraphLong-Term Agentic Memory With LangGraphFunctions, Tools and Agents with LangChainBuilding Agentic RAG with LlamaIndex Covers advanced frameworks for building and managing AI agents.
Multi-Agent Systems Multi AI Agent Systems with crewAIAI Agentic Design Patterns with AutoGenPractical Multi AI Agents and Advanced Use Cases with crewAI Focuses on systems involving multiple collaborating agents and design patterns.

In summary, the logical connection from most foundational to most advanced is:

Transformer Architecture β†’ LLM Training/Tuning β†’ Prompt Engineering & Structured Output β†’ RAG & Application Frameworks (LangChain/LlamaIndex) β†’ Agentic AI & Multi-Agent Systems.

It would be more useful if you posted your message without all of the β€œUpload Failed” messages and the strange hexadecimal data notation.
