Udacity discusses barriers to moving AI projects into production and the engineering skills involved in deployment, evaluation and maintaining working systems. Published October 22, 2026.
A free four-month, hands-on machine learning engineering course covering Python, regression and classification, XGBoost, deep learning with TensorFlow, Docker, Kubernetes and cloud deployment, with homework, projects and a Slack community. The 2026 cohort started September 14, 2026, and you can still start now.
Why I recommend it: One of the strongest free routes into machine learning work, because you finish with deployed projects, not just notes.
