How are folks affordably self-training in AI?

6•macartain•7h ago
I am an engineer at a small organisation - there is no question of budget being available to buy us accounts with any of the major model providers. How are other folks in my position managing to keep their AI integration skills up to speed? Most free or low-budget courses I see online - e.g. at DeepLearning - seem to assume a paid account. At the moment i cannot justify that outlay.

Did you try looking into openrouter?. They offer some models for free or low cost.

The good news news is the core skils compound.Once you understand pipeline,promoting patterns,and evaluation,switching providers becomes much easier.

i've moved away from this thinking over the last decade. started to question anything that leads to taking debt. anthropic skilljar courses are excellent and they give a cert at the end of it. good to add to linkedin.
