Start this phase on GitHub

Prerequisites: Phase 2 ML Fundamentals, Phase 3 Deep Learning Core, and Phase 7 Lesson 14, Build a Transformer from Scratch.

First lesson: Generative Model Taxonomy and History

Run this command from the repository root:

bash
python3 phases/08-generative-ai/01-generative-models-taxonomy-history/code/main.py

Keep the command, exit code, density estimates, generated samples, and one sentence explaining what an implicit generator cannot answer about p(x).

Next action: Change the random seed, compare the density estimates, then continue to Autoencoders and VAE.

Browse the full Phase 8 lesson list or the cross-phase roadmap.

15 lessons, about 15 hours total. Each lesson ships a detailed document, a runnable Python demo, a diagram, and a named skill for your agent.
