Harvard, MIT and Stanford teach AI online for free — the three links in order, every lecture and lab clickable, which one gives a certificate, the honest prerequisites, and a 12-week plan

The companion to the reel. Three universities put their AI courses online for $0, and the order you watch them in is the whole trick. ONE — Harvard, CS50's Introduction to Artificial Intelligence with Python: seven weeks, seven project sets, and the CS50 Certificate is free if you score at least 70% on each project (quoted from the certificate page). TWO — MIT 6.S191 Introduction to Deep Learning, 2026 edition: nine lectures and three software labs (Lab 3 fine-tunes an LLM), all materials open-sourced, no certificate. THREE — Stanford CS336 Language Modeling from Scratch, Spring 2026: 18 lectures on Stanford Online's public YouTube playlist, five assignments, and you build the language model yourself. PAGE 1 — the three links and how to use the guide. PAGE 2 — the full map: every Harvard week, every MIT lecture and lab, every Stanford lecture, all clickable. PAGE 3 — the honest prerequisites for each course (Stanford expects deep learning first, which is why the order matters) and a 12-week plan. PAGE 4 — your first move.
