How LLMs actually work, prompt engineering for engineers, the AI stack, and the security threat model that every other module builds on.
The engineering reality of transformer models, attention, tokenization, and why this matters for building and breaking AI systems.
Not the blog-post version. The real mechanics of system prompts, few-shot examples, chain-of-thought, and structured outputs, with a red team lens.
How production AI systems are actually wired: API architecture, model selection, context management, cost/latency tradeoffs, and where attackers look first.
OWASP LLM Top 10, the AI attack surface map, and why traditional AppSec thinking breaks on AI systems.
