Master the core building blocks of modern AI architecture (LLMs, System Prompts, RAG, Agents, MCP)

How do modern AI systems actually work under the hood? In this video, we break down the 12 core building blocks of modern AI Architecture using simple everyday real-life analogies (LEGO bricks, USB-C cables, open-book exams) and real Python SDK code snippets!

Whether you're a software engineer, developer, product manager, or AI enthusiast, this complete visual guide covers everything from Tokens and System Prompts to RAG, Vector Databases, AI Agents, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).


📌 WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
• The difference between System Prompts (developer directives) and User Prompts (runtime queries) in Python.
• How Vector Databases and Dense Embeddings turn text into mathematical coordinates.
• How AI Agents use the ReAct loop (Think -> Act -> Observe) for multi-step tasks.
• Standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools/list & tools/call JSON-RPC 2.0 specifications.
