There are 2 modules in this course
In this module, you will build the foundation for a reliable AI application: the automated vectorization pipeline. You will start by understanding why the choice of an embedding model is critical, then learn the architectural patterns for connecting it to Chroma. Through hands-on practice, you will construct a functional data ingestion pipeline that automatically vectorizes incoming data, setting a solid foundation before moving on to troubleshooting.
