On October 29, 2026, DeepLearning.AI launched a Context Engineering course, taught by Chroma CEO Jeff Huber and CMPND CEO Drew Breunig, with context engineering as the throughline for keeping agents reliable in complex multi-step tasks and saving tokens. The course builds a harness from scratch in Python and uses traces and evals to quantify each change, covering three capabilities: Agentic Search, Context Management, and Agentic Memory. It is divided into four modules, and the labs are mostly code exercises of about one hour. The course assumes intermediate Python, familiarity with LLM applications and tool calling, and basic retrieval. There are currently no further developments.

DeepLearning.AI Launches Context Engineering Course, Teaching Agent Context Management
DeepLearning.AI has launched a new Context Engineering course, taught by Chroma CEO Jeff Huber and CMPND CEO Drew Breunig, framing context engineering as the main thread for keeping Agents reliable and token-efficient in complex multi-step tasks. The course builds a harness from scratch in Python and uses traces and evals to quantify each change, covering three capabilities—Agentic Search, Context Management, and Agentic Memory—across four modules, with labs mostly consisting of about 1-hour coding exercises. The course assumes intermediate Python, familiarity with LLM applications and tool calling, and basic retrieval.
