Generative AI & Emerging Tech Roadmap

Generative AI, LLM Engineering & AI Agents

A cutting-edge curriculum covering LLM APIs, vector similarity search, retrieval augmented generation, and custom model fine-tuning.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Generative AI is transforming software engineering. Master prompt engineering layouts, design Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, configure local models, and build cognitive applications.

Structured Curriculum Roadmap

Phase 1
Weeks 1-2

Generative AI Basics & Prompt Engineering

Understand model parameters (temperature, top-p), write detailed prompt templates, parse json outputs, and use OpenAI/Anthropic APIs.

System vs User prompts JSON Output parsing frameworks Few-shot learning prompts
Phase 2
Weeks 3-5

Text Embeddings & Vector Databases

Generate floating-point vector embeddings from documents, set up vector databases, configure indexes, and execute cosine similarity searches.

Embedding model layers pgvector & index tuning ChromaDB & Pinecone APIs
Phase 3
Weeks 6-8

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) Pipelines

Build automated document ingestion pipelines, chunk text files, query vector databases, and inject context into LLM templates.

LangChain or LlamaIndex frameworks Document chunking algorithms Context injection and hallucination checks
Phase 4
Weeks 9-11

Local LLMs & Self-Hosted AI Agents

Run open-source models (Llama 3, Mistral) locally using Ollama, construct interactive tools, and configure memory relays.

Ollama runtime configuration LangGraph stateful loops Custom tool binding methods
Phase 5
