Week 05 — Agentic AI
"LLMs generate text. Agents get things done."
Welcome to Week 5. This week we transition from single-turn request/response pipelines to autonomous systems. You will learn how to give language models tools, memory, and the ability to reason over long horizons.
Topics Covered
- Agent Fundamentals
- Tool Calling
- Async & Parallelism
- LangGraph
- MCP (Model Context Protocol)
