Interactive AI & ML lessons
Understand how AI
actually works, from the ground up.
HexaHype is a growing library of hands-on lessons on machine learning and AI: full courses, short reads, and guided paper walkthroughs. Each one is built from first principles, with worked examples and runnable code that make the ideas stick.

Stage 3
Generative AI, in depth
Put models to work: steer them, ground them, and let them act.
Prompt Engineering Short course โ Brewing coming soonGet reliable, repeatable output from any model: context, instructions, and proven patterns.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation Short course โ Brewing coming soonGive a model your own documents so its answers stay grounded in your facts.
AI Agents Short course โ Brewing coming soonModels that plan, call tools, and act in a loop to finish real tasks.
Training & Fine-Tuning Course โ Brewing coming soonHow models learn from data, and how to adapt a pretrained model to your own task.
