Don't just use AI, BUILD IT.

For Africa's recent and soon-to-be CS & Engineering graduates who want to build the future with AI, we provide what university can't: massive compute power to train models, plus a state-of-the-art curriculum, delivered in your native language, to show you exactly how.

Benefits

Everything you need to succeed in AI:

Gain Job-Ready AI Skills and Experience

Master the deep, practical skills that top employers are looking for, build a successful career as an AI Engineer or Researcher, and help shape the future of technology.

Build & Train Models from Scratch

Learn the entire end-to-end workflow, from building and training new LLMs using industry best practices to modifying and fine-tuning existing models.

Master Industrial-Grade Hardware

Get extensive hands-on experience with a powerful compute cluster, training models in the same high-performance, real-world environments used by top tech companies.

Develop Elite Research Abilities

Learn to read, critique, and reproduce models directly from cutting-edge AI literature, culminating in your own academic-style research paper and open-source project.

Join a Lifelong Professional Network

Access a pan-African network of peers, mentors, and alumni to find job opportunities, research collaborations, and continuous support.

Course Delivery and Curriculum

Your Learning Ecosystem

The course is delivered through a comprehensive, multilingual ecosystem designed for your success. It combines:

Rich Content:

A platform with lecture videos, readings, quizzes, and interactive coding notebooks.

Human Support:

An online, chat-based community of peers and mentors for group discussions.

AI-Powered Tutoring:

An integrated AI assistant that analyzes your progress, provides adaptive feedback, and helps you master complex topics faster.

Build GPT-Scale Models

You will master the complete end-to-end model development process, driving projects from data collection and cleaning all the way to model evaluation and deployment. Your journey begins with an introduction to transformer models, which culminates in building and training a large-scale, GPT-3-sized model. From there, you will move on to master advanced techniques, including handling audio and video data, Reinforcement Learning (RL), and model interpretability.

Do Real AI Research

This all culminates in your final capstone project: the development of a novel model or a significant architectural improvement, packaged for open-source release and documented in a formal, academic-style research report.

Program Tracks & Eligibility

We offer two tracks to fit your learning needs.

Free Self-Study Track

Our core course content, including code, lectures, and model snapshots, is available free in perpetuity for anyone. This track is designed for you to learn at your own pace.
