The Groq Real-time-AI Agent Hackathon upgrades developers to build multi-agent AI systems across domains like healthcare, finance, supply chain, and customer service. The innovation of developers are rewarded with Groq API credits and startup program access.
2. Andrew Ng’s Machine Learning Specialisation (Coursera)
The Andrew Ng's machine learning course works best for beginners looking to understand not just how but why. The course inputted a generation of AI learners with strong foundation training with simple, math-backed explanations and coding exercises in Python and Octave.
3. Adasci – Agentic AI System Architect certification
The vendor-neutral certification offers professionals to focus on system-level expertise rather than tool use, covering multi-agent architectures, scalable workflows, security and governance. The real-world case studies offer hands-on experience with tools like LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, and NVIDIA NIM Blueprints.
4. Andrej Karpathy’s Neural Networks: Zero to Hero
Karpathy, former Tesla AI Director and OpenAI founding member, offers open-source series streaming on YouTube. This series strengthens the fundamentals of deep learning, transformers, and coding micrograd (a minimalist deep learning library) from scratch.
