I'm teaching a new course! AI Python for Beginners is a series of four short courses that teach anyone to code, regardless of current technical skill. We are offering these courses free for a limited time. Generative AI is transforming coding. This course teaches coding in a way…
Announcing AI Aspire, our new advisory firm to help enterprises with their AI strategy and transformation journey! We are partnering with Bain & Company and looking forward to helping businesses unlock scalable, transformative value. C-suite is now realizing that top-down…
The invention of modern writing instruments like the typewriter made writing easier, but they also led to the rise of writer’s block, where deciding what to write became the bottleneck. Similarly, the invention of agentic coding assistants has led to a new builder’s block, where…
Announcing a new Coursera course: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) You'll learn to build high performance, production-ready RAG systems in this hands-on, in-depth course created by DeepLearning.AI and taught by @ZainHasan6, experienced AI and ML engineer, researcher,…
Last week, the United States Congress passed President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” I’m disappointed it didn’t include a proposed moratorium on U.S. state-level AI regulation. While there is a role for AI regulation, it is when the technology is new and poorly understood that…
My talk at YC Startup School on how to build AI startups. I share tips from @AI_Fund on how to use AI to build fast. Let me know what you think!
Andrew Ng (@AndrewYNg) on how startups can build faster with AI. At AI Startup School in San Francisco. 00:31 - The Importance of Speed in Startups 01:13 - Opportunities in the AI Stack 02:06 - The Rise of Agent AI 04:52 - Concrete Ideas for Faster Execution 08:56 - Rapid…
Agentic Document Extraction now supports field extraction! Many doc extraction use cases extract specific fields from forms and other structured documents. You can now input a picture or PDF of an invoice, request the vendor name, item list, and prices, and get back the extracted…
New Course: Post-training of LLMs Learn to post-train and customize an LLM in this short course, taught by @BanghuaZ, Assistant Professor at the University of Washington @UW, and co-founder of @NexusflowX. Training an LLM to follow instructions or answer questions has two key…
I’d like to share a tip for getting more practice building with AI — that is, either using AI building blocks to build applications or using AI coding assistance to create powerful applications quickly: If you find yourself with only limited time to build, reduce the scope of…

On Monday, a United States District Court ruled that training LLMs on copyrighted books constitutes fair use. A number of authors had filed suit against Anthropic for training its models on their books without permission. Just as we allow people to read books and learn from them…
New Course: ACP: Agent Communication Protocol Learn to build agents that communicate and collaborate across different frameworks using ACP in this short course built with @IBMResearch's BeeAI, and taught by @sandi_besen, AI Research Engineer & Ecosystem Lead at IBM, and…
As an immigrant myself and as a person who has had the privilege of working closely with hundreds of brilliant immigrants, I join @AndrewYNg in supporting high-skilled, legal immigration. It's America's greatest competitive advantage. It's tragic to see it being destroyed.
One of the most effective things the U.S. or any other nation can do to ensure its competitiveness in AI is to welcome high-skilled immigration and international students who have the potential to become high-skilled. For centuries, the U.S. has welcomed immigrants, and this…

Introducing "Building with Llama 4." This short course is created with @Meta @AIatMeta, and taught by @asangani7, Director of Partner Engineering for Meta’s AI team. Meta’s new Llama 4 has added three new models and introduced the Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture to its…
There’s a new breed of GenAI Application Engineers who can build more-powerful applications faster than was possible before, thanks to generative AI. Individuals who can play this role are highly sought-after by businesses, but the job description is still coming into focus. Let…
Learn to build and deploy GenAI pipelines in "Orchestrating Workflows for GenAI Applications", built in partnership with @astronomerio and taught by Kenten Danas, the company's DevRel Senior Manager, and Tamara Fingerlin, developer advocate. Many GenAI applications require…
Hanging out with @juberti , OpenAI’s head of realtime AI, responsible for the company’s voice AI products. One thing both of us agree on: while some things in AI are overhyped, voice applications seem underhyped right now. The application opportunities seem larger than the amount…

Thank you for your pioneering research work @lateinteraction on DSPy (together with @matei_zaharia, @ChrisGPotts and many others). I'm glad we could do a short course on this!
Over the past year we received SO many requests for a @DeepLearningAI short course on DSPy. Thanks to a great effort by my colleagues @ChenMoneyQ & @xqcathyyin from the DSPy team at @Databricks, here's a collaboration with @AndrewYNg's team who have been super helpful on this!
New short course: DSPy: Build and Optimize Agentic Apps DSPy is a powerful open-source framework for automatically tuning prompts for GenAI applications. In this course, you'll learn to use DSPy, together with MLflow. This is built in partnership with @databricks and taught by…
Everyone should learn to code with AI! At AI Fund, everyone - not just engineers - can vibe code or use AI assistance to code. This has been great for our creativity and productivity. I hope more teams will empower everyone to build with AI. Please watch the video for details.
"If not for funding for my early work in deep learning from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which disburse a good deal of U.S. research funding, I would not have discovered lessons about scaling that led me to pitch…
I am alarmed by the proposed cuts to U.S. funding for basic research, and the impact this would have for U.S. competitiveness in AI and other areas. Funding research that is openly shared benefits the whole world, but the nation it benefits most is the one where the research is…
