AI-Assisted Coding
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf. Real code with real agents. 464 lessons.
Agentic AI
Agents that do things — MCP, tool use, multi-model orchestration. 398 lessons.
AI for Educators
Lesson planning, feedback, differentiation, and classroom-safe AI practice. 290 lessons.
AI in Healthcare
Clinical documentation, patient education, operations, and safety boundaries. 395 lessons.
AI for Legal Work
Contract review, research, privilege, confidentiality, and legal workflow support. 255 lessons.
AI for Finance
Reports, models, controls, analysis, and the judgment calls finance teams face. 322 lessons.
Game Designer
Game designers invent the rules, systems, and experiences that make games fun. AI is changing asset creation and playtesting.
Game Developer
Game developers code and ship playable games. AI copilots write engine code; generative tools speed up asset creation.
Curriculum Developer
Curriculum developers design what gets taught across schools and districts. AI drafts standards-aligned units; humans make them coherent.

Neural network
A model made of layers of tiny math units, loosely inspired by brain cells, that learns patterns from data.
FLOP
A floating-point operation — the basic unit of compute, used to measure model size and cost.
GRU
A lighter cousin of LSTM with fewer gates but similar performance.
ReLU
A super-simple activation: output the input if it's positive, otherwise zero.
TPU
Google's custom AI chip, used for training and serving Gemini and other models.
GPU
A graphics chip that's also great at the matrix math AI needs.
HumanEval
A classic coding benchmark of 164 Python problems used to grade LLMs.
Circuit
A small subnetwork of neurons and attention heads that together compute a specific behavior.
Tool call
A single invocation where the model asks to run a specific tool with specific arguments.
pass@k
The probability that at least one of k sampled attempts solves the task.
Devin
Cognition Labs' autonomous software engineering agent that runs tasks in a sandbox.
Groq
Custom-silicon inference provider competing on tokens-per-second and latency.
