Andrew Ng elaborates on the "Building and deploying AI applications" tier of his AI Engineering Skills Map. Mastering this requires six key skills: LLM foundations, grounding models with data, building agentic systems, evaluation-driven development, operating in production, and machine learning foundations. Derived from job postings and expert interviews, the map highlights that the core difference in AI applications is the unpredictability of LLM outputs compared to traditional software.
