msharmas · x · 2026-08-08
Andrew Ng shared a learning roadmap for aspiring AI Agent engineers in 2026, emphasizing that simply knowing how to prompt is outdated and building autonomous systems is the new standard.
The roadmap covers core modules:
- Foundations & Design: AI agent basics and agentic workflow design
- Practical Engineering: Building agents that work in practice
- Advanced Architecture: Creating self-improving loops and orchestrating multi-agent systems
Additionally, a companion article dives into the three often-confused layers of agent engineering: Agent Harness, Loop, and Graph Engineering.
