AI Engineering from Scratch is a free, MIT-licensed open-source curriculum: 523 lessons across 20 phases, from linear algebra and backprop to transformers, LLMs, agents, and production serving. Code is stdlib-first, so every algorithm step is built by hand instead of calling a library.
This month's updates:
- Six EPUB and PDF volumes attached to the release;
- Site and lessons now available in eight languages, including Chinese, Hindi, Spanish and Arabic;
- CI now runs each lesson's own tests, and a sweep fixed broken datasets, models, and links.
If you use a coding agent, npx skills add rohitg00/ai-engineering-from-scratch then /start-learning gives you a placement quiz and a study plan.
