Systems for AI
CS8803 SAI, Fall 2025 at Georgia Tech
Where: Howey Physics S107
When: MW 11:00 am - 12:15 pm
Course Description
Generative models have transformed the machine learning landscape in a very short period of time with state-of-the-art autoregressive models achieving breakthroughs in many fields. The huge success of AI today can be attributed to the systems that underpin them; the massive scale and complexity of these models are made possible by the advancements in the area of systems.
In this course, we will focus on the systems that have enable modern-day AI. In particular, we will study the latest advances in system design that make generative AI possible and how the breakthroughs in generative AI have influenced how we design systems. The goal of this course is to equip the students with an understanding of the state-of-the-art. As such, this offering will emphasize on the latest developments in the area such as reasoning, multimodality and agentic systems.
