LLMs, RAG, and inference — learn the system, not the slogan

From why a model invents a leave policy to vector search, evaluation, agents, and the serving stack that keeps the API fast.

Eleven modules from the limits of a raw LLM to production RAG, inference, and the evaluation metrics panels ask you to define. One HR assistant, PolicyDesk, carries every example.
