CMU 11-768: AI Agents (Fall 2026)
What it is
Graham Neubig and Daniel Fried's graduate course on LLM agents, with slides and lecture recordings posted publicly as the semester runs, tool use, planning, long context, skills and memory, training, safety, and interaction. Free, no enrolment, no signup wall.
Why we picked it
The best free rigorous treatment of agents we've found, from people who ship agent software rather than sell it. Recommend the "what is an agent" and "skills and memory" lectures to students who want the real model behind the tools.
How you might use it
Knowing what AI can and cannot do is worth more than knowing any single tool. The Lead AI, Don't Follow module is about staying in charge of the direction, not just the output. This resource fits that mindset.
