MongoDB AI Course in Partnership with Andrew Ng and DeepLearning.AI

MongoDB is committed to empowering developers and meeting them where they are. With a thriving community of 7 million developers across 117 regions, MongoDB has become a cornerstone in the world of database technology.

Building on this foundation, we're excited to announce our collaboration with AI pioneer Andrew Ng and DeepLearning.AI, a leading educational technology company specializing in AI and machine learning. Together, we've created an informative course that bridges the gap between database technology and modern AI applications, further enhancing our mission to support developers in their journey to build innovative solutions.

Introducing "Prompt Compression and Query Optimization"

MongoDB’s latest course on DeepLearning.AI, Prompt Compression and Query Optimization, covers the prominent form factor of modern AI applications today: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). This course showcases how MongoDB Atlas Vector Search capabilities enable developers to build sophisticated AI applications, leveraging MongoDB as an operational and vector database.

To ensure that learners taking this course are not just introduced to vector search, the course presents an approach to reducing the operational cost of running AI applications in production by a technique known as prompt compression.

“RAG, or retrieval augmented generation, has moved from being an interesting new idea a few months ago to becoming a mainstream large-scale application.” — Andrew Ng, DeepLearning.AI

Key course highlights

1. RAG Applications: Learn to build and optimize the most prominent form of AI applications using MongoDB Atlas and the MongoDB Query Language(MQL).

2. MongoDB Atlas Vector Search: Leverage the power of vector search for efficient information retrieval.

3. MongoDB Document Model: Explore MongoDB's flexible, JSON-like document model, which represents complex data structures and is ideal for storing and querying diverse AI-related data.

4. Prompt Compression: Use techniques to reduce the operational costs of AI applications in production environments.

In this course, you'll learn techniques to enhance your RAG applications' efficiency, search relevance, and cost-effectiveness. As AI applications become more sophisticated, efficient data retrieval and processing becomes crucial. This course bridges the gap between traditional database operations and modern vector search capabilities, enabling you to confidently build robust, scalable AI applications that can handle real-world challenges.

MongoDB's document model: The perfect fit for AI

A key aspect of this course is that it introduces learners to MongoDB's document model and its numerous benefits for AI applications:
