Generative AI Foundations
How large language models actually work, what they do when you type, why they get things wrong, and how to judge them. No maths, no code.
Written in house, from the work rather than from a syllabus. Every example is one we would use ourselves, and every quiz question explains why its answer is right.
What you’ll learn
- Explain what a language model is doing when it answers
- Reason about tokens and why they shape cost and behaviour
- Tell prediction apart from retrieval, and know why it matters
- Recognise the failure modes that follow from how models are built
