Meet Our Founders

"We are at the beginning of the most significant technological shift in history. The solutions that define this era, in healthcare, energy, finance, and education,  will be built by AI engineers. I am building Towards AI to be where those engineers are made."

Louie Peters, Co-founder & CEO

"I left academia to solve real problems and discovered the hardest one was finding training that reflected how production AI actually works. So I built them. Everything we create at Towards AI is focused on one thing: you will learn to build and ship production-grade AI systems."

Louis-François Bouchard, Co-founder & CTO

Project-Based Courses

The most in-depth path from developer to AI engineer

Most developers hit the same wall: tutorials that work in notebooks but fall apart in production. Our courses are built around one project, taken end-to-end: real data pipelines, real deployment, real failure modes. By the time you finish, you haven't just learned the stack, you've shipped something that works.

In-Person Bootcamps

Intensive training to accelerate AI adoption within your teams

Your developers know how to code. The gap is knowing how to build reliably on top of probabilistic systems, how to evaluate outputs, handle failures, and ship LLM features that hold up under real usage. Our bootcamps close that gap directly, tailored to your stack and the specific problems your team is trying to solve.

Customized Enterprise Programs

End-to-end AI consulting for organizations building with LLMs

Most enterprise teams lack the production experience to know which AI initiatives are worth building and how to build them without it blowing up in their face. Our team of 15+ AI practitioners works directly with yours to identify the right use cases, make the right technical calls, and build systems that actually deliver.

Industry Leaders on Our Resources

“Helps learners understand everything from fundamentals to the simple-to-advanced building blocks of constructing LLM applications. ”

Jerry Liu, Co-founder and CEO of LlamaIndex

“A comprehensive and well-rounded resource that covers all the fundamentals of LLMs with a well-struck balance between theory and code.”

Tina Huang, Founder of Lonely Octopus, YouTuber, Ex-Meta

“Towards AI has done a great job assembling all of the technical resources needed by a modern GenAI applied practitioner.”

Sander Schulhoff, Founder and CEO of Learn Prompting

“A truly wonderful resource that develops understanding of LLMs from the ground up, from theory to code and modern frameworks. Grounds your knowledge in research trends and frameworks that develop your intuition around what's coming. Highly recommend.”

Pete Huang, Co-founder of The Neuron

“Louis and the Towards AI team have created an essential resource for developers who want to expand their AI expertise and apply it to real-world challenges.”

Alex Volkov, AI Evangelist at Weights & Biases and Host of ThursdAI.news

“Contains thorough explanations and code for you to start using and deploying LLMs, as well as optimizing their performance. Very highly recommended!”

Luis Serrano, PhD, Founder of Serrano.Academy and author of Grokking Machine Learning

“An incredible survey of all the real-world problems one encounters when trying to productionize an LLM, as well as multiple solutions to each roadblock. Highly recommend this!”

Nick Singh, Founder of DataLemur 

“An indispensable guide for anyone venturing into the world of large language models...Covering everything from theory to practical deployment.”

Shashank Kalanithi, Data Engineer at Meta

“This will be valuable to anyone looking to dive into the field quickly and efficiently.”

Jeremy Pinto, Senior Applied Research Scientist at Mila

About Towards AI

Since 2019, we have been bridging the gap between AI research and what it actually takes to build with it in industry. What started as a newsletter has grown into one of the largest AI learning communities, with 

500,000+ learners, 160,000 newsletter subscribers, and an 80,000-member Discord where engineers share what they are actually building.

Behind every course, bootcamp, and enterprise program is a team of 15+ AI practitioners who work on production systems daily, not educators who learned AI, but engineers who built the training they couldn't find anywhere else.
