Advanced Prompting and Reasoning

Course Overview
Intermediate
Free Course

For engineers who already prompt LLMs and now need multi-step reasoning they can trust in production. You will build tool-using agent loops, use sampling, search, debate and critique where they pay for themselves, and evaluate reasoning step by step rather than by its final answer alone.

Course Content

Section 1: Reasoning Frameworks

Ground a model's reasoning in real tool results, raise its reliability by voting over independent samples, and search over partial solutions when early choices constrain later ones.

Section 2: Cognitive Patterns and Tools

Make critique, debate, tool use and reasoning evaluation reliable by bringing in outside evidence and measuring what each step actually changes.

Section 3: Mini-Project

Build a research agent that plans before it searches, gathers quoted evidence under a budget, verifies every claim in code, and says plainly what it could not find.
