Learn By Doing. Become An AI Engineer – ByteByteAI: Build Real AI Systems From Scratch in 6 Weeks

What You’ll Build Inside the Program

✅ Project 1: Build an LLM Playground

• Pre-Training Essentials: Data collection (Common Crawl, RefinedWeb), cleaning pipelines, and tokenization strategies (BPE)
• Architecture Deep Dive: Transformers, GPT-family models, and text generation techniques (greedy search, beam search, top-k, top-p)
• Post-Training Mastery: Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), and reward modeling
• Evaluation Frameworks: Traditional metrics, task-specific benchmarks, and human evaluation protocols
• Chatbot Design: End-to-end system architecture for production-ready conversational AI

✅ Project 2: Customer Support Chatbot Using RAG & Prompt Engineering

• Adaptation Techniques: Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), LoRA, and adapter layers
• Prompt Engineering Mastery: Few-shot/zero-shot prompting, chain-of-thought, and role-specific context
• RAG Architecture: Document parsing, chunking strategies, and indexing methods (keyword, vector, embedding-based)
• Retrieval Optimization: Exact and approximate nearest neighbor search for fast, accurate results
• Evaluation Metrics: Context relevance, faithfulness, and answer correctness scoring

✅ Project 3: “Ask-the-Web” Agent with Tool Calling

• Agents vs. Agentic Systems: Understanding autonomy levels and workflow orchestration
• Workflow Patterns: Prompt chaining, routing, parallelization, reflection, and worker orchestration
• Tool Integration: Tool calling, formatting, execution, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
• Multi-Step Reasoning: ReACT, Reflexion, ReWOO, and tree search for complex decision-making
• Multi-Agent Systems: Coordination protocols, use cases, and evaluation frameworks

✅ Project 4: Deep Research Capability with Reasoning Models

• Reasoning LLMs: Overview of OpenAI’s “o” family, DeepSeek-R1, and other thinking models
• Inference-Time Techniques: Chain-of-thought prompting, parallel/sequential sampling, Tree of Thoughts (ToT)
• Training-Time Methods: SFT on reasoning data (STaR), reinforcement learning with verifiers, reward modeling
• Self-Refinement: Internalizing search processes and meta-reasoning architectures
• Local Deployment: Strategies for running reasoning models efficiently on your own infrastructure

✅ Project 5: Multi-Modal Generation Agent

• Generation Foundations: VAEs, GANs, auto-regressive models, and diffusion architectures
• Text-to-Image (T2I): Data preparation, U-Net/DiT architectures, forward/backward diffusion processes
• Text-to-Video (T2V): Latent diffusion modeling, video compression, and large-scale training challenges
• Evaluation Metrics: Image quality, diversity, text alignment, FID, CLIP score, and IS
• End-to-End System Design: Integrating modalities into cohesive, user-facing applications

✅ Project 6: Capstone Project

• Choose Your Path: Pick your own idea or start from a curated list of high-impact projects
• Build & Iterate: Implement using course techniques with real-time instructor feedback
• Demo Day: Present your project to peers and receive actionable insights for refinement
• Portfolio Ready: Walk away with a production-quality project you can showcase to employers or clients

How the Program Works

🎓 6-Week Cohort Structure

• Live Sessions: Weekly deep-dive classes with Ali Aminian (recorded for flexibility)
• Office Hours: Mid-week Q&A sessions for troubleshooting and personalized guidance
• Project Walkthroughs: Step-by-step coding sessions you can follow along with
• Capstone Demo: Final presentation to celebrate your progress and get feedback

🛠️ Beginner-Friendly, Production-Ready Code

• No advanced math required—concepts are explained visually and intuitively
• Code is written in clean, readable Python with clear comments and documentation
• Every project includes starter templates so you focus on learning, not setup

👥 Community & Support

• Learn alongside peers who are building the same projects
• Share progress, ask questions, and get unstuck faster
• Lifetime access to course recordings, resources, and future updates

What You’ll Walk Away With

Who This Course Is For

• Developers who know Python and want to transition into AI engineering
• Data scientists ready to build production AI systems, not just models
• Engineers tired of fragmented tutorials and seeking a cohesive learning path
• Builders who learn best by doing—not just watching or reading
• Career-changers with basic CS knowledge ready to enter the AI field

Who It’s Not For

• Those expecting passive learning (this requires hands-on coding and project work)
• Beginners with zero programming experience (basic Python is required for projects)
• People looking for quick “AI hack” tutorials (this is a deep, systematic program)

Why Learn By Doing Stands Out

• Project-first curriculum: Every concept is taught through building something real
• Modern tech stack: Covers LLMs, RAG, agents, reasoning, and multimodal AI—the tools companies actually use
• Instructor expertise: Ali Aminian brings experience from Stanford, Google, and Adobe to every lesson
• Cohort energy: Learn with peers, stay accountable, and get feedback that accelerates your growth

“This is not just another course about AI frameworks and tools. Our goal is to help engineers build the foundation and end-to-end skill set needed to thrive as AI engineers.”
— Ali Aminian, Instructor & Best-Selling Author

What’s Included

• 6 weeks of live, interactive sessions with Ali Aminian
• Step-by-step project guides with beginner-friendly code
• Lifetime access to all course materials and recordings
• Peer community for collaboration and support
• Certificate of completion
• Bonus: Free lifetime access to ByteByteGo.com ($500 value)
• 7-day money-back guarantee—no questions asked
