Course 1

Introduction to RAG with Rust

3 lessons

8 practices

Learn what Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is, why combining retrieval with generation can reduce hallucinations, and how a basic RAG workflow contrasts with naive prompting. This course is mostly informational, setting the stage for more hands-on work in later courses.

Course 2

Text Representation Techniques for RAG Systems with Rust

4 lessons

16 practices

Learn key methods for representing text in RAG systems. Explore why text representation matters, implement a Bag-of-Words model, understand how embeddings capture deeper meaning, visualize embeddings with t-SNE, and compare BOW and embeddings in document retrieval and semantic search.

Course 3

Scaling up RAG with Vector Databases in Rust

4 lessons

18 practices

Scale up your RAG system by building and querying a vector database. Learn to preprocess documents, store chunk embeddings in ChromaDB, retrieve relevant chunks, and construct prompts that can handle multiple context chunks. Additionally, see how to manage updates to your collection and how to approach large-scale ingestion using batch strategies.

Course 4

Beyond Basic RAG: Improving our Pipeline

4 lessons

15 practices

Advance your RAG pipeline by integrating hybrid retrieval methods that combine BM25 and embeddings, implementing iterative retrieval with query refinement, and summarizing multiple context chunks when needed. Learn to constrain LLM outputs to rely strictly on retrieved context, and apply advanced error handling, fallback strategies, and logging to ensure accuracy and reliability in your system.

I'm really impressed by the AI tutor Cosmo's feedback about my code. It's honestly kind of insane to me that it's so targeted and specific.

I tried Leetcode but it was too disorganized. CodeSignal covers all the topics I'm interested in and is way more structured.
