140,000 Developers Enroll in Five-Day AI Course

The world of AI is moving at breakneck speed, and it's crucial for developers, enthusiasts, and learners to keep up by learning straight from the top experts. That's why Google and Kaggle teamed up to launch our free, five-day Gen AI Intensive live course. We put a lot of thought into the content to make sure participants got a solid grasp of generative AI, from the nuts and bolts of large language models (LLMs) to actually using gen AI in real-world applications.
We designed the live course to strike a perfect balance between theory, hands-on learning, and community engagement. Every day, participants got assignments that included AI-generated podcasts (made with NotebookLM), informative whitepapers (written by Google's own experts), and practical code labs for hands-on experience with Gemini and other services. They covered a wide range of topics:
- Day 1: Foundational Models & Prompt Engineering - Podcasts(1, 2), Livestream
- Day 2: Embeddings and Vector Stores/Databases - Podcast, Livestream
- Day 3: Generative AI Agents - Podcast, Livestream
- Day 4: Domain-Specific LLMs - Podcast, Livestream
- Day 5: MLOps for Generative AI - Podcast, Livestream
Participants also had access to a Discord chat, moderated and supported by Googlers, and livestream sessions with expert guests from Google to answer their burning questions. These sessions were a great chance to dive deeper into specific topics and chat with the course creators. Plus, there were hands-on code labs on Kaggle where participants could play around with different gen AI techniques and tools, like the Gemini API, Embeddings, open source tools like Langraph, and Vertex AI.
Over 140,000 people signed up for the course in just 20 days, making it one of the biggest developer events ever. If you missed the live course, don't worry—some of the most popular gen AI Intensive content has been turned into a self-paced format and is available as a Kaggle Learn Guide. And if you're interested in future live courses, just fill out our outreach form.

140,000 developers in one course? That's insane! The content was top-notch, but the platform crashed a few times. Still, worth it for the knowledge from Google and Kaggle. Next time, beef up the servers!

140,000人の開発者が一つのコースに参加するなんて信じられない!コンテンツは最高だったけど、プラットフォームが何度かクラッシュした。でも、GoogleとKaggleからの知識を得る価値はあった。次回はサーバーを強化してほしいな。

140,000명의 개발자가 한 코스에 참여하다니, 믿기지 않아요! 콘텐츠는 최고였지만, 플랫폼이 몇 번 크래시했어요. 그래도 구글과 카글의 지식을 얻는 데 가치가 있었어요. 다음에는 서버를 강화해 주세요!

140.000 desenvolvedores em um único curso? Isso é loucura! O conteúdo foi de primeira, mas a plataforma caiu algumas vezes. Ainda assim, valeu pela aprendizagem com Google e Kaggle. Da próxima vez, reforcem os servidores!

140,000 डेवलपर्स एक ही कोर्स में? यह पागलपन है! सामग्री शानदार थी, लेकिन प्लेटफॉर्म कुछ बार क्रैश हो गया। फिर भी, Google और Kaggle से ज्ञान प्राप्त करने के लिए यह इसके लायक था। अगली बार, सर्वर को मजबूत करें!

Just finished the five-day AI course from Google and Kaggle, and wow, it's intense but super informative! The experts really know their stuff, and I feel like I've leveled up my AI game. Only wish it was a bit longer to dive deeper into some topics. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to get into AI!
