The KalyrAITech Curriculum

A 10-week roadmap from machine learning foundations to RAG and introductory agents.

Learn machine learning, build LLM applications, and develop a document-based AI capstone across 20 live sessions.

  • 10-week live cohort
  • 20 guided sessions
  • Midterm project and final capstone

Curriculum Overview

Four learning phases.

Phase 1

Machine Learning Foundations

Weeks 1 to 3 establish the technical base through problem framing, Python for ML, baseline models, and evaluation.

Phase 2

LLM Application Building

Weeks 4 and 5 cover practical LLM workflows, APIs, structured outputs, and reliable application patterns.

Phase 3

Retrieval and RAG Foundations

Weeks 6 to 8 focus on embeddings, semantic search, vector databases, document preparation, chunking, and grounded generation.

Phase 4

Evaluation, Agents, and Capstone

Weeks 9 and 10 improve quality, introduce bounded agent patterns, and complete the final capstone.

Week-by-Week Roadmap

What students learn and build each week.

Week 1

Machine-Learning Foundations and Python for ML

Problem framing, Python refresher, data handling, and the first ML repository setup.

Week 2

Building Machine-Learning Models

Supervised and unsupervised baselines, pipelines, and the first working ML notebook.

Week 3

Evaluation and ML Mini-Project

Metrics, error analysis, and an evaluated mini-project with a simple serving pattern.

Week 4

Large Language Model Foundations

Tokens, embeddings, prompting, model APIs, and structured output patterns.

Week 5

Building Reliable LLM Applications

Validation, safeguards, hallucination handling, and the midterm project launch.

Week 6

Embeddings and Semantic Search

Semantic similarity, embeddings-based search, and the first retrieval workflow.

Week 7

Vector Databases and Document Preparation

Vector storage, document extraction, cleaning, chunking, and indexed collections.

Week 8

Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Build a working RAG pipeline that answers from trusted source documents with grounded responses.

Week 9

RAG Evaluation and AI Agents

Improve retrieval quality, inspect failure cases, and add one bounded tool-calling pattern.

Week 10

Multi-Agent Systems and Capstone Showcase

Multi-agent fundamentals, final project demonstrations, architecture explanation, and interview preparation.

Milestone Progression

Five checkpoints along the way.

  • End of Week 3: ML foundation with evaluated model workflow and basic serving.
  • End of Week 5: Midterm project brief and launch, building on LLM application skills.
  • End of Week 7: Retrieval foundation with semantic search, indexed documents, and repeatable ingestion.
  • End of Week 9: Evaluated RAG prototype plus a controlled tool-calling extension.
  • End of Week 10: Portfolio capstone with evaluation evidence and architecture explanation.
