BUILT FOR YOUR STARTING POINT

Wherever you're starting, there's a path in.

New to coding

Career-changer or total beginner? We start with programming foundations and Python, at your pace, before any ML. No CS degree required.

Working engineer

Already ship software? Skip what you know with a placement quiz and go straight to the ML, LLM, and MLOps skills that move your career.

Senior, specializing

Add AI/LLM engineering to a strong résumé, RAG, evals, agents, and production ML, weighted for the hottest 2026 roles.

HOW IT WORKS

Not videos you half-watch. A system that makes it stick.

Code runs in your browser

Real Python with NumPy, right in the lesson. Edit it, run it, break it. Zero setup, nothing to install.

An AI tutor, always on

Stuck? Ask. It explains at your level, generates quizzes, and adapts to how you learn, powered by Claude.

A skill tree that adapts

A visual map of everything, personalized to your placement. Test out of what you know; unlock what you don't.

Spaced repetition

The theory actually sticks. Concepts resurface right before you'd forget them, using the FSRS algorithm.

XP, levels & streaks

Progress you can feel. Earn XP, level up your rank, and keep the streak alive, the daily pull that gets you to the finish.

A path to hired

Every phase ends in a portfolio-worthy project, plus interview prep for the real ML loop. Not just learning. Landing.

THE CURRICULUM

Zero to hired, in a deliberate order.

Synthesized from what the 2026 market actually rewards: a solid foundation, a classical-ML core, a heavy modern LLM track, and the production + interview skills that turn knowledge into an offer.

PHASE 0
Launch Pad

Python data stack + the math intuition that actually matters on the job.

PHASE 1
Classical Core

The discipline that still wins most tabular problems, and every interview.

PHASE 2
Neural Depths

From a single neuron to CNNs and sequence models, built from scratch in PyTorch.

PHASE 3
The Transformer

Attention, tokenization, scaling laws, build a working GPT from zero.

PHASE 4
Applied AI

The hottest job: prompting, RAG, agents, evals, and fine-tuning on real products.

PHASE 5
Ship It

Serving, monitoring, drift, CI/CD, and ML system design interviews.

PHASE 6
Mission Ready

Capstones that impress, plus the full ML interview loop, drilled.
