Zero to AI

A free, open-source AI and machine-learning curriculum of more than 950 hands-on Jupyter notebooks, covering Python, deep learning, large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, agents, prompt engineering, fine-tuning and MLOps.

Zero to AI

Zero to AI is a guided curriculum for learning Python, data science, deep learning, large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, AI agents, prompt engineering, fine-tuning and MLOps, delivered as a companion website and a GitHub repository holding the source notebooks and contribution material. The repository is intended to be followed in order as a course rather than browsed at random; some phases are complete while later phases are still being filled in.

Every notebook can run directly in the browser through Pyodide, with no local Python installation, so it works on a school laptop or a phone. The live site also provides a course-setup guide and a glossary to help newcomers get oriented before starting.

It is written mainly as Jupyter notebooks and released under the MIT license.
