Llama Stack: From Fundamentals to Deployment

This course guides you through Llama Stack and its key components, including agentic workflows, RAG systems, safety mechanisms, monitoring, and deployment.
Overview
Content
Reviews
This course covers the core concepts of the Llama Stack, including its architecture, components, and local development setup. You’ll build your first AI app, explore the Inference API to generate intelligent, context-aware responses, and dive into agentic workflows with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). You’ll work with Agents, Tools, and the Memory API to build interactive apps using custom knowledge bases. The course also includes safety with the Safety API, monitoring, and telemetry for performance optimization. Advanced topics include multi-provider integration, deployment, and scaling. By the end, you’ll be ready to build and manage production-grade AI systems.
