Open Source Python Artificial Intelligence Software

Generative AI for Beginners is a 21-lesson course by Microsoft Cloud Advocates that teaches the fundamentals of building generative AI applications in a practical, project-oriented way. Lessons are split into “Learn” modules for core concepts and “Build” modules with hands-on code in Python and TypeScript, so you can jump in at any point that matches your goals. The course covers everything from model selection, prompt engineering, and chat/text/image app patterns to secure development practices and UX for AI. It also walks through modern application techniques such as function calling, RAG with vector databases, working with open source models, agents, fine-tuning, and using SLMs. Each lesson includes a short video, a written guide, runnable samples for Azure OpenAI, the GitHub Marketplace Model Catalog, and the OpenAI API, plus a “Keep Learning” section for deeper study.

Claude-Flow v2 Alpha is an advanced AI orchestration and automation framework designed for enterprise-grade, large-scale AI-driven development. It enables developers to coordinate multiple specialized AI agents in real time through a hive-mind architecture, combining swarm intelligence, neural reasoning, and a powerful set of 87 Modular Control Protocol (MCP) tools. The platform supports both quick swarm tasks and persistent multi-agent sessions known as hives, facilitating distributed AI collaboration with persistent contextual memory. At its core, Claude-Flow integrates Dynamic Agent Architecture (DAA) for self-organizing agent management, neural pattern recognition accelerated by WebAssembly SIMD, and a SQLite-based memory system for context retention and knowledge persistence across tasks. It automates development workflows via pre- and post-operation hooks, providing seamless coordination, code formatting, validation, and performance optimization.
