Foundations + Agentic Modeling
LLMs and reasoning for agentic systems
Establish a solid technical foundation on how models actually work and what it means to design systems around them.
What an LLM is and what real capabilities it has
Tokens, context windows, and practical constraints
Pretraining, fine-tuning, and inference without marketing
Why agents need structure, not just prompts
Hallucinations, context drift, and how to mitigate them
How to choose models based on their role in a system
Agentic discovery and professional specification
Use AI to do better analysis and design work, not just generate code.
Professional use of chat interfaces for discovery
Turning conversations into structured specifications
Modeling a problem as an agent flow
Defining responsibilities, tools, and handoffs
Documentation that actually helps building
Prompt patterns for requirements and architecture
