Open Source 503-Lesson AI Engineering Curriculum: Build Backprop from Scratch
techNmak · x · 2026-08-23
A comprehensive, open-source curriculum named 'AI Engineering from Scratch' has been released, featuring 503 lessons over roughly 320 hours covering Python, TypeScript, Rust, and Julia. Its unique 'build from scratch' approach requires implementing core concepts like backpropagation, tokenizers, attention mechanisms, and agent loops before using production frameworks. The lesson structure follows a MOTOTO → PROBLEM → CONCEPT → BUILD IT → USE IT → SHIP IT flow, generating 503 reusable artifacts such as AI prompts, agent skill files, MCP servers, and runnable code to form a portfolio.
