WHAT THE SITE DOES
Turn scattered AI knowledge into courses you can follow.
There is plenty of AI information, but it is often scattered across news, product announcements, and isolated tutorials. newwebplay AI organizes it by learning goal: necessary foundations first, then practical use, product design, and engineering.
Follow a path from start to finish or enter through a specific topic. Articles include a continuous syllabus, previous and next lessons, and reading progress stored in your browser.
From “what should I learn?” to a clear next lesson.THE CURRICULUM
What can you learn here?
The material runs from first principles to engineering practice. Not everyone needs to take the same route.
Model fundamentals
Learn the core ideas behind tokens, context, training, inference, and hallucinations.
LLMs · context · hallucinationsPrompts, RAG, and agents
Move from clear instructions to retrieval, tool use, and complete agent workflows.
Prompts · RAG · agents · MCPAI products and engineering
Study evaluation, safety, cost, interaction design, and reliable application patterns.
Evaluation · safety · cost · product designDevelopment and local models
Go deeper into vibe coding, harnesses, data structures, algorithms, and open models.

Learn at your own pace, toward your own goal.
WHO IT IS FOR
Start wherever you are. Choose the depth you need.
Beginners
For people who want a structured introduction instead of chasing disconnected tutorials and new tools.
Product, design, and operations
For people who need to understand AI's limits and use it in real products and workflows.
Developers and technical teams
For people building agents, RAG, or AI products who need reliability, cost, and safety knowledge too.

This is your first structured AI course
Read the course guide, then begin with AI basics and model fundamentals.
You already have a concept in mind
Use the topic index to find prompts, agents, RAG, or another subject directly.
You want to study one direction fully
Choose a learning path and follow its continuous article syllabus.
WHAT WE KEEP
Learning material should be clear, open, and kept current.
Free and open
Every course and article is available without an account or paywall.
Structured
Paths and topics show where each article begins and where to continue next.
Continuously updated
Models and tools change, so the curriculum is revised, expanded, and reorganized over time.
