Excellent course and instructors. This was an incredible dive into ML/AI and even having been an engineer for 15 years I learned a ton about a domain that I've never really had the chance to explore previously. Definitely do it, worth the cost!

A painless acceleration into the new baseline
Deep Atlas painlessly accelerated my understanding of the AI/ML landscape. Not only can I code it, but I can now hold meaningful technical conversations at work with experts in the field working on the cutting edge. This point cannot be undersold - there is value in knowledge and the ability to navigate the industry from a point of understanding. Being able to speak to future hardware requirements from a place of experience and example has led to very tough but needed conversations at my job. The work is fun, the learning is progressive and you leave feeling like a super weapon. There’s no better way to future proof yourself in the software landscape than Deep Atlas. Just do it.

A Career Changing Program
The staff was amazing, the class was full of other professional software engineers, and the curriculum was broad and to the point.
I'm the one who entered the program very new to the field of ML/AI. I had previously attempted to self-learn without any notable success. After completing the program I was (and am) able to independently get started on Classification, Shallow Networks, Deep Networks, CNNs, LLMs, GANs, troubleshooting, visualizing, and most importantly read the papers and books and do the work in them -- something I couldn't do before the immersive.
The class moves at a swift pace; some people will be able to keep up, and others will catch up after the immersive ends. There is post-completion support in the form of doing projects, alumni network, and finding pairing buddies to do more projects to keep growing at it.
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to find their Aha moments and get a good feel for how to begin and troubleshoot ML projects. It's the real deal(tm).

A unique mind-expanding experience with incredible people
Deep Atlas is an incredible experience and program. When you take capable, intelligent engineers and put them together to learn a cutting edge complex topic, magic happens.
The course takes you through an iterative engineering journey starting from first principles (linear transformations + shallow learning) towards the latest modern architectures of deep neural networks and transformers. Along the way, you put on your inquisitive researcher hat to test and implement potential solutions (somewhat tracking the real lifecycle/progress of broader ML domain over the past 2 decades).
My highlights involve: meeting some of the top AI minds in the world, learning to spatialize high dimensional data, being immersed together with smart peers, and unlocking an understanding of a complex domain that can otherwise be hard to grok (I found myself reading some of the latest AI research papers yesterday and actually understood it).
Marcus and Joseph are both incredible instructors who have a knack for explaining highly abstract complex topics in easily understandable ways.

Deep Atlas was a very enriching…
Deep Atlas was a very enriching experience for me. The structure of the curriculum is very well thought out and leaving the bootcamp with so many cool projects under our belts is a great way to encourage us to hit the ground running. The instructors are very knowledgeable and the course work comes with a ton of great resources. Because there is so much content to cover, I feel as if there are some areas I didn’t get to deep dive into, such as deployment, and a few of the school projects. But I’m excited to see how the curriculum develops over time.

It was an awesome experience
It was an awesome experience. I'm impressed at the vast amount of knowledge they uploaded into our brains in just 2 weeks. The depth and ordering of each topic was meticulously planned, from shallow learning to implementing our own model architectures with PyTorch, data preparation, wandb tracking, and much more. It's as efficient as education can get. Highly recommended to any engineers hoping to get up and running with AI/ML.

Solid experience with Deep Atlas
Solid experience with Deep Atlas. My experience is limited to in-person, but as part of our pre-course materials, we watched a recorded lecture from an online cohort and it seemed their discussion and lecture quality was similar.
I think the true value of DA comes from (1) the teaching method, which is excellent, and (2) being able to always ask questions and stay "on the wagon" with everyone if you aren't quite grokking. A large part of the value I also see is the ongoing Alumni program and the speakers and other introductions the staff can bring to your awareness.
AI is rapidly changing the world and DA achieved what I hoped which was to open my eyes and prep me for that world.
