Free practical deep learning courses, research and open-source libraries
A free, top-down course that gets you training real models immediately and explains the theory as you go, with notebooks and video lessons.
A newer educational format that teaches iterative, exploration-driven problem solving with an interactive platform, replacing the classic course structure.
A high-level API that makes modern deep learning techniques concise and accessible while staying flexible for research work.
Develop, test, document and publish complete Python packages directly from Jupyter notebooks, ending the notebook-versus-git conflict.
Practical AI bootcamps for marketing, sales and design teams
Separate tracks for marketing, sales and design professionals, so the use cases and exercises match the work each cohort actually does.
Roughly 60% of time is spent applying AI tools to real tasks and 40% on theory, with participants leaving with reusable workflows.
About 24 hours of training across roughly four weeks, mixing 90-minute live workshops with asynchronous self-study.
Participants are grouped with people from the same profession, creating room for exchange, benchmarking and mutual support.
Offers broad structured courses by Andrew Ng, but lacks fast.ai's deep hands-on focus on PyTorch code.
