The best free Cohere AI courses, curated
Cohere’s LLM University is one of the most approachable free, hands-on introductions to how large language models actually work — embeddings, semantic search, generation and retrieval-augmented generation — taught with a builder’s mindset. Below is a path from the fundamentals to production-style recipes.

LLM University
LLMs, embeddings, search and RAG, hands-on
Cohere · Self-paced · Cohere
Summary
A structured, practical course on the building blocks of modern NLP: what large language models are, how text is represented as embeddings, semantic search, text generation and prompt engineering, and how to combine them into retrieval-augmented generation — with runnable code throughout.
One of the clearest free introductions to the *concepts* behind LLM apps — embeddings, search and RAG — with a genuinely gentle on-ramp. The ideas transfer to any model, so it’s valuable regardless of which provider you build on.

Summary
A collection of ready-made, best-practice guides and notebooks for building with Cohere’s models — retrieval-augmented generation, agents and tool use, semantic search and reranking — set up so you can run and adapt them quickly.
The natural next step after LLM University: concrete, production-minded patterns you can lift into your own projects. Especially strong on retrieval and reranking, which are central to good RAG.
