Master Generative AI, from architecture to application.
Learn to design, train, and ship generative models — text, image, and audio — through hands-on projects built around real architectures like GANs and Transformers.
Build real generative systems, not slide-deck theory.
From architecture to application
This course goes beneath the surface of generative AI, pairing core architectures — GANs, VAEs, and Transformers — with the hands-on practice to actually use them. You'll build systems that generate text, images, and audio, and explore real applications in art generation, automated writing, and synthetic media. By the end, you'll have the foundation to design and ship your own AI-driven products.
Six lessons, built in sequence
Three projects, built end to end
