Agentic AI: Building with LLM Agents

Program demonstrativ 2026 Tehnologie Avansat en 440 min

A hands-on, advanced course on building software with LLM agents. Learn how large language models actually work, master prompting and function calling, design agent loops with planning and reflection, add RAG and memory, orchestrate multi-agent systems, and ship safe, evaluated agents to production — guided by talks from Andrej Karpathy, Anthropic, OpenAI, LangChain and Andrew Ng.

From language model to autonomous agent

Large language models stopped being chatbots the moment we gave them tools. This advanced course takes developers from a solid mental model of how LLMs actually work — tokens, training pipelines, prompting — to the engineering patterns behind production agentic systems: function calling, planning loops, retrieval-augmented generation, memory, and multi-agent orchestration.

Each lesson pairs a carefully selected talk from the people who built this field — Andrej Karpathy, Anthropic and OpenAI engineers, Harrison Chase of LangChain, Jerry Liu of LlamaIndex, Andrew Ng — with structured reading notes, curated references, and quizzes that test real understanding.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain the LLM training pipeline (pretraining, SFT, RLHF) and its practical consequences
  • Design and version production-grade prompts
  • Implement tool use / function calling safely and reliably
  • Build agent loops with ReAct-style reasoning, planning and reflection
  • Architect RAG pipelines and agent memory that survive production traffic
  • Decide when (and when not) to use multi-agent architectures
  • Evaluate, guard and ship agents with proper safety controls

Prerequisites: comfortable programming in at least one language and basic familiarity with calling web APIs. No machine learning background required.
