Get The $0 AI Engineer Free Stack

The companion guide to the video on becoming an AI engineer in 2026 without spending a dollar — everything a $9,000 bootcamp sells you, published for free by the people who built the models. Inside: what an AI engineer actually is in 2026 (you build on top of existing models — no PhD, "you can be successful in this role without ever training anything" — Karpathy); the 5 skills companies actually hire for (foundations, the model core + RAG, agents & tools/MCP, production & evals, and a portfolio) and what is NOT required (fine-tuning, heavy math, training from scratch). Then the full FREE STACK with links — to LEARN: Karpathy’s Neural Networks: Zero to Hero, Hugging Face’s LLM/Agents/MCP courses, Microsoft’s Generative AI & AI Agents for Beginners, the Google×Kaggle 5-Day Gen AI Intensive, DeepLearning.AI short courses, and the OpenAI/Anthropic cookbooks; and to BUILD: free frontier models (Groq, Gemini Flash, OpenRouter), free vector DBs (Chroma, Qdrant, pgvector), free frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex), free GPU (Colab, Kaggle), and free hosting (Hugging Face Spaces, Streamlit). Plus a 90-day roadmap that ends in 3 deployed projects, the honest caveats (what free can’t give you and the free fix for each), and the salary reality (~$154K median, Levels.fyi). The line to remember: you were never behind — you were just being charged for things that were free.
