Specialization - 4 course series

This Specialization is intended for aspiring AI developers and technical professionals seeking to develop practical Python skills for building AI applications. Through 4 courses, you will cover Python fundamentals and project setup, data ingestion and preparation, LLM API integration with prompt-driven features, and testing, web APIs, and deployment, which will prepare you to build, ship, and maintain reliable model-powered applications.You will be able to prepare data for AI models, integrate LLM APIs with validated structured outputs and retrieval grounding, and turn AI features into tested, documented web APIs ready for deployment.

Applied Learning Project

Throughout the Specialization, you will learn to prepare messy data for AI models, integrate LLM APIs with sensible model choices and cost controls, and build features with validated structured outputs and retrieval grounding. You will then be able to test those features, expose them as documented web APIs, and choose how to deploy and monitor them in production.
