Open-Source AI System Design Course Drops

While the web is flooded with shallow 'AI wrapper' tutorials, this project brings actual engineering rigor to AI system design, emphasizing production tradeoffs over marketing hype.

* Fills a major gap by treating LLMs as probabilistic components within a larger, deterministic software architecture.

* Focuses on concrete production pain points, including evaluation pipelines, security mitigations, and latency/cost budgeting.

* Practical hands-on labs (e.g., Tool Policy Simulator, RAG Retrieval Eval) differentiate it from purely conceptual system design guides.

* The long-term value of the project will depend heavily on the maintainers' ability to filter noise and enforce a strict standard as the community grows.
