The AI Learning Roadmap
I Actually Followed

I skipped Netflix this week and went deep on how modern AI systems actually connect. Here are all the resources β€” no fluff, just what works.

1
Python for AI Workflows
🐍
AI Python for Beginners
Andrew Ng Β· DeepLearning.AI
Beginner 10 hrs 20 mins Course

Not generic Python tutorials β€” this one is built specifically for AI workflows. APIs, loops, functions, data handling. The most practical beginner resource out there if you want to actually build with AI.

How LLMs Actually Work
🧠
Intro to Large Language Models
Andrej Karpathy Β· YouTube
Free 59 mins 3.6M Views

Probably the clearest high-level explanation of how ChatGPT-like systems actually work. Training. Inference. Tool use. Agents. Multimodal. Everything finally started connecting after watching this once.

RAG – Retrieval Augmented Generation
πŸ“š
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
Zain Hasan Β· DeepLearning.AI
Intermediate 24 hrs 33 mins Course

This one changed how I think about LLMs entirely. Models become much more useful once they can access external knowledge properly. Embeddings. Retrieval. Chunking. Evaluation. A lot of real AI engineering lives here.

Evaluating Agents (The Underrated Part)
🎯
Building and Evaluating AI Agents – Stop Over-hyping Agents
Sayash Kapoor (AI Snake Oil) Β· AI Engineer Summit

The honest truth: You don't need to complete all of these before you start building. Start with Python + Karpathy's LLM video. That alone will change how you see AI. Everything else builds naturally from there.
