Free RAG and LLMs Bootcamp

Learn with Pathway’s open-source ecosystem. Build real-time Gen AI apps for production.

Why This Bootcamp?

Generative AI has taken center stage. It's no longer just a dedicated vertical in companies—it's becoming a core component of engineering teams worldwide. If you haven't realized yet, with the release of OpenAI's o1, we're at a transformative moment akin to when the Transformer architecture—the "T" in ChatGPT—was invented.

In this bootcamp, you'll:

Dive Deep into the Future: Explore why Generative AI is the next big thing and where Large Language Models (LLMs) are headed.
Learn from the Best: Gain insights from Current/Ex-Google Brain, OpenAI, and Pathway team members.
Build Real-World Solutions: Move beyond toy projects to efficiently learn and solve the needs that arise when you productionize Generative AI, building solutions that are both impactful and viable.

Let’s go! 🚀
