Free course covers the 4 hard problems of production generative media agents
Al_Grigor · x · 2026-11-04
AlGrigor announces a free, open-source DataTalks.Club course with Nebius, 'Production AI Agents for Generative Media,' starting Nov 16: 4 modules plus a capstone over 5 weeks, 8-10 h/week, application-only with limited seats. It tackles four problems text agents don't face: cost (model size, VRAM, GPU choice), latency (tool calls become polled jobs), failures (OOM/timeouts needing retry-resume without duplicates), and artifacts (big files in object storage). Modules cover GPU engineering, agent loops with GPU tools, scaling/reliability/cost, and evals/observability.
