Cohort theme — AI for Distributed Systems · Spring 2026
Week by week
Orion onboarding, the AI Foundation refresher, and the shape of your capstone. You leave week one with a project brief on real data.
Vector databases, chunking strategies and evaluation. Build a retrieval layer against a live corpus and measure recall.
Routing, recovery and MCP. Wire an agent that calls real tools and handles failure gracefully in a distributed setting.
Build the eval harness and the traces you'll defend in review. Instrument latency, cost and quality end to end.
