Why this
- Move from demos to deployable AI systems
- Most teams stall at pilot because of unclear KPIs, ad hoc eval and slow sign offs
- Get the frameworks and artifacts approvers need to escalate the process
What you’ll ship
- A capstone tied to your environment
- Architecture diagrams mapped to KPIs
- Evaluation report (golden set + gates)
- Governance pack (risk notes + templates)
- Rollout plan for operational readiness
How it runs
- Three live days – workshops, labs, reading
- Small cohort, high feedback
- Secure environment
- Exposure to the latest AI tools
Outcomes

Frequently Asked Questions
The Fellowship is built for experienced engineers, software developers, and technical professionals who want to deepen their expertise in applied AI. The curriculum assumes familiarity with engineering workflows and focuses on advanced, practical AI development rather than beginner-level concepts.
Most AI courses focus on how to use existing models or depend heavily on pre-built tools. The Obsidi AI Fellowship teaches you how to architect, evaluate, and deploy AI models from the ground up. You work through real engineering workflows, build from scratch, and gain hands-on experience that translates directly into industry AI engineering roles.
The fellowship does not focus on building or training foundation models from scratch. Instead, participants learn how to deploy, customize, and operationalize pre-trained LLMs to build real enterprise AI systems using techniques such as Enterprise RAG, Quantization and Semantic Caching.
Projects are designed to mirror real AI engineering problems. You’ll build, train, and deploy your own models, work through applied machine learning pipelines, and complete a capstone project that demonstrates an end-to-end AI solution. These projects challenge experienced engineers and strengthen your portfolio with production-focused work.
The Fellowship helps engineers upskill into advanced roles involving model development, applied machine learning, and AI-driven product engineering. You’ll gain practical experience, receive guidance from industry instructors, and complete complex projects that reflect real engineering challenges.
The Fellowship runs three days per week from 9 AM to 5 PM. Each day includes a mix of lectures, hands-on model-building labs, technical deep dives, and guided project work. The pace is intensive and designed for engineering-level learners.
Participants should expect to spend additional time outside the 9–5 sessions on project refinement, reading, assignments, and experimentation with models. The workload mirrors real AI development cycles and encourages iterative model improvement.
Yes. Participants who complete all required modules and the final capstone project will receive an Obsidi AI Fellowship Certification. This certification validates that you’ve completed an advanced, project-based AI program focused on building and deploying your own models.
The Fellowship curriculum includes:
- Foundations of AI and machine learning
- Deep learning and neural network architecture
- RAG Systems Engineering
- Agentic & Multi-Agent Systems Engineering
- MCP & Secure Adapters
- Governance & Compliance Engineering
- Performance & Cost Engineering
Most bootcamps focus on theory or surface-level tooling. The Obsidi AI Fellowship is structured as a practical engineering program where participants learn how to build models from scratch, implement full pipelines, and work through real constraints faced in AI product development in just three days.
