As AI evolves rapidly, it's crucial for developers, enthusiasts, and learners globally to enhance their skills by learning from top experts. To facilitate this, Google and Kaggle have developed a free, five-day live course called the Gen AI Intensive. This course is meticulously crafted to provide a comprehensive understanding of generative AI, covering everything from the fundamentals of large language models (LLMs) to practical applications in production. The course offers a balanced blend of theory, practical learning, and community interaction. Each day includes assignments featuring AI-generated podcasts (created with NotebookLM), whitepapers from Google experts, and hands-on code labs using Gemini and other tools.

The course covers: - Day 1: Foundational Models & Prompt Engineering - Podcasts, Livestream - Day 2: Embeddings and Vector Stores/Databases - Podcast, Livestream - Day 3: Generative AI Agents - Podcast, Livestream - Day 4: Domain-Specific LLMs - Podcast, Livestream - Day 5: MLOps for Generative AI - Podcast, Livestream Participants also engaged through a moderated Discord chat and livestream sessions with Google experts to address community questions. These sessions provided deeper insights into key themes and offered interaction with course creators. Hands-on code labs on Kaggle allowed participants to explore various generative AI techniques and tools, including the Gemini API, Embeddings, open-source tools like Langraph, and Vertex AI.
